ethirteen LG1 Race Carbon Cranks - Gen4 Info

LG1 Race Carbon Cranks – Gen4 represent the latest evolution of e*thirteen’s gravity-focused crank platform, refined through years of World Cup racing and real-world abuse. Designed for riders who demand maximum strength with minimal bulk, the Gen4 LG1 cranks feature a significantly reduced Q-factor and slimmer overall profile while delivering measurable gains in stiffness, impact resistance, and long-term fatigue life.

The performance gains come from a ground-up redesign of the carbon layup and internal structure, allowing e*thirteen to remove excess material without compromising durability. The result is a crankset that feels more compact underfoot, spins up quickly, and stands up to the repeated high-load impacts of enduro and downhill riding.

A key functional upgrade is the relocation of the spindle to the non-drive side. This change simplifies chainguide installation, improves drivetrain serviceability, and makes chainline adjustments more intuitive. Speaking of chainline, the LG1 Race Carbon Cranks – Gen4 feature an adjustable chainline system that supports non-Boost, Boost, and Super Boost setups, ensuring compatibility across a wide range of modern frames.

Every crankset ships with an integrated 8mm self-extracting bolt, making removal and maintenance straightforward without the need for special tools. This rider-friendly detail reflects the LG1 philosophy: race-level performance paired with practical serviceability.
