My friends over at French based BMX race components manufacturer, Pride Racing, are always pushing forward with new products. Pushing for the ultimate balance of performance, weight, strength and price. Everything they produce is with purpose and we all benefit from their research, their development and their drive to make everything better. Pride Racing is a leader in the BMX race industry and each and every item they come out with peaks my interest. A new crankset, I’m a kid in a candy store, and the Axon’s are so sweet. What makes the Axon different to the Newton? They are at a better price point for the budget conscious. Check them out.

Manufacturer’s Description

PRIDE AXON CRANKSET

The PRIDE Axon crankset was designed with a clear goal: to offer a high-performance, responsive and durable crankset at a competitive price. Every detail of its design has been studied to maximize power transfer, limit flex and provide optimal reliability, even under the most demanding BMX Race conditions.

Forged from 6-series aluminum, the Axon offers an excellent balance of strength, stiffness and durability. Its manufacturing process ensures a consistent wall thickness, excellent structural integrity and high production precision. Unlike hollow-forged designs, which can conceal certain internal weaknesses, this method allows for better material control and guarantees lasting reliability.

• Increased stiffness for optimal power transfer and reduced flex.
• Optimized manufacturing for consistent wall thickness, superior strength and increased precision.
• Integrated chainring bolt system, eliminating the need for separate bolts and combining simplicity, stiffness and reliability.
• Quick and easy chainring change, without having to worry about choosing the right bolt length.
• Optimized pedaling position to maximize power, stability and promote smoother, more explosive accelerations.

With a Q-Factor of 168 mm, the PRIDE Axon offers a width perfectly suited to the demands of BMX riders. It ensures an ideal balance between stability, pedaling efficiency and power transmission with every pedal stroke.

Notes: The crankset is supplied with 1 compression bolt, 2 lock bolts, 4 chainring bolts
