Rene Herse 9- to 12-Speed Double Cranks
$495.00
Finally a 12- and 11-speed-compatible crank that rivals the very best from the big makers in shifting performance, offers chainring combinations useful for most riders, and the beauty and polish of our Rene Herse cranks. The cranks are designed to be 100% compatible with STI (except 12-speed mtb), Ergopower (all versions) and SRAM (all versions). They work equally well with 9- and 10-speed drivetrains, and also with downtube or bar-end shifters.
Net-shape forging the arms – using a dedicated forging die for each crank length – results in optimum grain alignment of the aluminum. This means we can slim down the arms without giving up strength: This is the only small-production crank to pass the most stringent EN ‘Racing Bike’ test for fatigue resistance, yet it’s one of the lightest cranks ever made.
The chainrings are machined from the strongest 7075 aluminum to resist wear. They are designed to work as a dynamic system at 50-130 rpm to ensure smooth and quick shifts.
Recommended bottom brackets:
- SKF JIS 107 mm for chainline on the big ring and ultra-narrow Q factor
- SKF JIS 110 mm for standard chainline
Rene Herse crank bolts and pedal washers are included. Cranks are custom-assembled based on your order. Please allow 7-10 days until your order can ship.
Pro Tip: Due to supply problems, some chainrings are out of stock. If you are in a rush and plan to run 9- to 11-speed, you can use standard Rene Herse cranks for now. Then you can replace the large chainring with the ramped-and-pinned version in the future. (Arms and small ring are the same for all models.)
Important! Please don’t place an order with out-of-stock chainrings, even though our system allows this. (We’d have to cancel and refund your order minus 5-7% credit card/Paypal fees.) We apologize for the inconvenience.
