Bought a motorcycle with the Pinion Gearbox behind your cranks? The brand new Carbon Wasp 3D-printed titanium crank arms will drop 170g off the unique aluminum ones, and look good doing it.
The model has made carbon fiber cranks for Pinion models previously. These have been mild, however at all times required some form of metallic insert to pinch clamp onto the spindle, which is a part of the gearbox. That metallic half was difficult to machine due to its intricate spline interface, too.
However 3D printing it, that might be simple, and carried out with titanium. As they experimented, they discovered they might print a whole hole ti crankarm that was as mild as something they might make out of carbon. They admit, a full metallic half is a bit off model, however it’s a greater half, in order that they went with it.
The 2 crank arms weigh in at a mixed ~280g, which is 170g lighter than inventory. They arrive in 165/170/175mm lengths for $804, or get a customized size and/or Q-factor for $866, letting you suit your physique, fats bikes, and so on.
