I am in the market for some new cranks to go on my Pivot 429l. It has a PF92 bottom bracket with some Hope press fit bearings fitted.

I have to date been running RaceFace Next sl, and have just destroyed my second pair with cracks in both arms loose pedal threads and a loose axle interface.

I am looking to replace these with something fairly light, probably with a 30mm axle. Riding is xc/trail but I am a fairly heavy and can be quite powerful.

Reliability is important to me.

Suggestions please and thanks.

I have SRAM X01. Seem solid and reliable.

If you don’t need a little chainring then XTR M970 is a champ- cheap, strong, lighter than most carbon options… (Not as light as a Next SL but you know why those are so light :lol:) It’s 24mm rather than 30mm but mostly that just means your BB lasts better.

Hope? 30mm axle to fit your BB, reasonably light and strong enough for a serial rock basher like me.
