Rotor Vegast

Vegast Crankset – Versatility, Durability, and Modular Performance

The Rotor Vegast crankset is a versatile, robust, and affordable model designed to meet the needs of all cyclists, whether beginners or experienced riders. Made from forged aluminum, it guarantees excellent durability with minimal weight, making it ideal for road rides, long distances, as well as gravel or time trials (TT). The Vegast is also an excellent introduction to Rotor's modular range, allowing you to configure cranksets tailored to various uses and disciplines.

Uses of the Vegast Crankset

The Rotor Vegast crankset allows you to build different types of cranksets, modular according to your specific needs and discipline. With compatibility for both 24 mm and 30 mm axles, you can customize your crankset for gravel, road, track, or TT use.

• Classic Chainrings: The 50/34, 52/36, 53/39, and 54/39 configurations are among the most popular, offering an excellent balance between performance and versatility for road cyclists. These chainring combinations are perfect for riders looking for a high-performance crankset suitable for various situations.
• Aero Versions: For speed and aerodynamic performance enthusiasts, Vegast offers specific configurations with 54/42, 55/42, 56/44, and 58/44 chainrings. These versions provide enhanced aerodynamics, ideal for flat terrain racing and TT or triathlon competitions.
• Micro-Compact: The Vegast also supports the 46/30 and 48/32 configurations, which are perfect for mountainous routes and long climbs.
• Single Chainring: The Vegast crankset is compatible with single chainring setups for both road and TT, simplifying the drivetrain and offering optimal cadence.
• Track and Gravel: With the option for an offset axle, available in both 24 mm and 30 mm, the Vegast is also perfectly suited for gravel configurations. On the track, its rigidity allows for efficient power transfer and excellent responsiveness.

Limitations Compared to Aldhu

The Rotor Vegast stands out for its versatility and affordability, but it does have a slight limitation compared to the Aldhu crankset in terms of available crank arm lengths. Unlike the Aldhu, specific lengths (150 mm, 155 mm, 160 mm, and 167.5 mm) are not available on the Vegast. The Vegast focuses on standard crank arm lengths: 165 mm, 170 mm, 172.5 mm, and 175 mm, which cover the needs of most cyclists.

Which Bottom Bracket to Pair with a Vegast Crankset?

For pairing with the Vegast crankset, it is often recommended to use a Rotor steel bottom bracket, which offers an excellent quality-to-price ratio and enhanced durability. For those seeking superior performance, a ceramic bottom bracket paired with a 30 mm axle is an ideal option, providing weight savings and improved drivetrain smoothness.
