New Race Face AEffect R Cranks and Longer-Travel Dropper Post Are Here

Race Face is expanding its AEffect component line, more specifically the "R" portion of it (that stands for Rally). We were pumped to see the affordable dropper seatpost grow to a 170mm option. Get your details in the press release below. -b.radly

AEffect R Crank

Designed in Canada, the rally-rated AEffect R crankset brings enduro rated strength but keeps the weight in the XC range. Its forged 7050 AL construction optimizes stiffness without added weight. The AEffect R features our versatile CINCH System for plenty of spider options as well as our trusted 24mm EXI interface spindle. In addition to our 170 and 175mm lengths, we’ve added in a 165mm length, making it a solid crankset choice for today’s hard-charging trail rider.
