Cobalt: cross country

since the introduction of the eggbeater pedal in 2002, crank brothers has been dedicated to the needs of cross country racers. the cobalt products show the newest selection of lightweight, high-performance pedals, wheelsets, seatposts and more. find your group of complimentary xc components, available in four different levels: 1, 2, 3, or 11. in terms of price and design features, level 1 gets you to the start line, and level 11 puts you on the podium. all are light, fast, and turn heads.

Iodine: all mountain

like the riders they’re designed for, the iodine product range is multi-talented. 5-7 inch travel bikes need unique components that are light enough for serious climbing, robust enough for fast, technical descents, and have the ability to last a long, long time. this is an important niche for crankbrothers; with the trails of laguna at our back door, we have our own staff to please.

Rocky Mountain pioneered their groundbreaking StraightUp geometry with the Altitude and it has since become regarded as the best climbing bike in its catagory. (more…)
