Aldhu Carbon Cranksets – Performance, Lightness, and Modularity

In this category, you will find a complete selection of Rotor Aldhu Carbon cranksets, designed to offer significant gains in weight, stiffness, and performance. These cranksets come in various configurations to meet the demands of discerning cyclists, whether on the road, in time trials, triathlons, gravel riding, or track cycling.

Available Configurations:

Classic Cranksets: The 50/34, 52/36, 53/39, and 54/39 configurations are perfect for versatile road use.

Aero Cranksets: For speed enthusiasts, the 54/42, 55/42, 56/44, and 58/44 versions provide optimized aerodynamics for time trials and triathlons.

Micro-Compact Cranksets: The 46/30 and 48/32 versions are ideal for mountainous routes, allowing for smooth pedaling during long climbs.

Single Chainring Cranksets: Single chainring configurations with options ranging from 40 to 54 teeth are perfectly suited for road, time trials, gravel, or even track competitions.

Specific Uses:

Track: Versions ranging from 46 to 56 teeth are ideal for track cyclists looking for an ultra-rigid and lightweight crankset to maximize power transfer.

Gravel: Thanks to the ability to install a 30 mm offset axle, the Aldhu Carbon crankset is also an excellent option for gravel. The offset axle allows for better compatibility with gravel frames while maintaining a high level of stiffness and performance, even on rough terrain.

Round or Ovalized (Qrings):

All Aldhu Carbon chainrings are available in round or ovalized (Qrings) versions, with a maximum of 56 teeth for ovalized versions. These chainrings help optimize your pedaling according to your preferences and riding style.

Compatibility and Modularity:

The Aldhu Carbon crankset is only available with a 30 mm axle, ensuring maximum stiffness. The crank arms come in various lengths: 155 mm, 165 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm, and 175 mm. This crankset is fully modular, allowing for easy component changes. If you already own a Rotor Vegast or Aldhu 30 mm crankset, you can replace the crank arms in seconds with Aldhu Carbon arms to enhance your bike's overall performance.

Bottom Bracket Recommendation:

We strongly recommend using a ceramic bottom bracket to maximize the performance of the Aldhu Carbon crankset. The carbon crank arms provide significant weight and stiffness gains, which could be reduced by using low-efficiency steel bottom brackets. This is particularly true for 30 mm bottom brackets, where precise installation and technical expertise are required for optimal performance. All bottom brackets in our catalog have been tested and validated to ensure perfect compatibility with the Aldhu Carbon and other Rotor 30 mm cranksets.

Performance and Experience:

The Aldhu Carbon crankset has been used by several professional teams and has won stages in the Grand Tours. Its lightweight design (250 g for a pair of crank arms) places it among the lightest and most performant cranksets on the market. For comparison, the Aldhu 30 mm crank arms weigh 350 g, and the Vegast 30 mm crank arms weigh 380 g. This crankset is also compatible with the Inspider power meter, providing cyclists with a complete solution for monitoring and analyzing their performance.
