product collection
we believe there is always a way to make it better, to make each ride magical. we believe in simplicity, not in complexity. we believe we can transform technology into art.
our design process is simple: start with a clean slate and finish with a product that makes every ride better than the last.
in 2001, we introduced the revolutionary eggbeater. easier to clip in to, better at shedding mud, lighter than the competition, looked like nothing else. fourteen years, countless championships, and several evolutions later, the eggbeater is the choice of cross country and trail riders worldwide.

massively different. our proprietary wheel design reduces rotational inertia by redistributing mass closer to the hub. the result is improved performance, faster acceleration and deceleration. crankbrothers wheels spin up faster than traditional wheels.
low rotational inertia easier to spin up faster acceleration
the power of triangles : the strongest shape in construction. our ::twinpair spoke design forms triangulated load bearing structures, providing superior strength and lateral stiffness, with just 24 spokes per wheel. simple to service single spoke lengths. replaceable without removing the tire.
