Yes, they're def beautiful, but my XT (I use 165mm cranks) are way cheaper and on par for weight if a full alloy chainring is used ( i doubt my XT chainring will wear out any time soon for me to get one though.) But thanks for showing us something different from the usual fare.
5DEV cranks are just wonderful jewelery for bikes.. Drool worthy and durable. Just priced more than I am willing to spend is the only down side I can even think of.
Definitely a great looking and quality set of cranks. Love the selection of lengths available. I look forward to your impressions. Does performance justify the cost? I think if you're a person who just really values top quality gear, these are up there with the best!
Great Video, Last year I bought a pair of the black 5Dev cranks (165mm) A smaller chain ring (two teeth smaller) to offset the shorter cranks in order to maintain similar power output in the same gear, (previous cranks 170mm) and some one up aluminum pedals, so I didn’t have to adjust my saddle 5mm higher. The pedals being close to 5mm thinner then the DMR vaults. Unfortunately I didn’t get around to installing the new parts until the winter season so I can’t comment if I notice any difference. Finally thanks for taking the time sharing your knowledge and experience with new products. Almost forgot I was also a little concerned with stack height of the bars so hopefully with the changes I made I will notice no difference as that was my goal when I went down the rabbit hole of shorter cranks.
Wanted the 5Dev raw cranks the moment I saw them. Reminded me of all of the custom cranks that were available in the 90's but better made. I can't afford them and would rather spend the money on some carbon hoops/onyx hubs but definitely in the want category and just can't justify the price.
I've had these on my bike for about a year. No issues. A bit of frame protection sticker on the tip to protect from slight rock strikes. Mine didn't come with the chain ring bolts.
Thanks for sharing. They look really cool. Would probably agree that the “raw” version may be better. As for the price being comparable to XTR - support domestic companies!
I have these 5dev cranks with there blue chainring. And the 5dev titanium stem. If some people are worried about the cranks breaking. They have a 5 year warranty on them.
Another awesome and YT leading best review! I like the cranks but won't buy them for one reason, they won't work with my Feedback Sports Scorpion stand. That may sound silly, but that stand has been a game changer for me.... Love the no spindle weight part too!!
They don't require a break tbar, you don't need to use crazy high torque, 40 NM is fine, but a big hex key should loosen it, if its stuck you can do it by stepping on the key and having one foot on the other crank, or pedal, but if you have a rubber mat you can do it with a frame only, by doing the same. But not tried it on Sram but on Raceface. I add a bit of Loctite 243 to keep them extra secure for longer, but don't overdo it. 40nm is max my arms can do. I used the 8mm hex key from Parktool HXS-1.2 It's 20cm from centew of short end to tip.
Advantages easy to clean like SRAM cogs in muddy terrain, weakness having a skeleton cranksets are dangerous in the mountains in others obstacles like small woods, small dried branches of trees and pointed stones. This cranksets are good in urban riding but dangerous in induro MTB.
Love those I have the same on my stumpjumper Evo Sworks 160mm I have the same on my stumpjumper your voice works 160mm on the small size bike as opposed to 170 mm that specialized put on it the look is perfect, but my hips are really happy
Happy New. As good looking as these cranks are, and seem well built I’m still sold my my Shimano XT cranks. Looking forward to the next video as always.
Man I was looking into getting these cranks and chainring a while back. But they’re more for high end trail/enduro bikes. My bike is XC so I ended up going with XX1 carbon cranks and WolfTooth chainring for weight savings.
I am 90kg running the XO1 crancks and no issues whatsoever. 3 years into them now with frequent use. Compared to the SLX these feel better, but mayb I am fooling myself. Only upgrade on crancks for me would be the Garbaruk version when they become available.
As a CNC machinist, it really makes me want to produce my own crankset... But does the spindle really is made of aluminum ? If so, i'm curious of how strong it is !
@@sebastiengiovannelli8556 Price is one of the main reason, but I also don't need/wish this crankset anyway. My SLX does the job except I would prefer it has 180mm arms, could be an option for a custom made crankset...
I figured you were just too excited about those sexy cranks and forgot all about that little spindle! Anyhow thanks for following up with the complete weight 👍
If I had the money to buy any cranks I wanted, no question, Cane Creek E-Wings. Hope the 5 Devs are forged/ cold forged. AC Components made some very similar cranks back in the late 80's. Very similar geometry shapes cnc milled into the surface, not all the way through. I still have a set. They are a warranty replacements for a set that snapped clean in half...after hitting a pretty moderate (by today's standards) 30 mph tree stump driveway gap jump. Amazingly I didn't crash as I watched half my crank arm and pedal tumbling down the sidewalk in front of me. Guess my point was....they were intricately machined from CAST billet and Hella weak. And precisely why everything nowadays is cold forged.
I want a crankset, i guess 3 piece, 110 bcd, with 200mm arms, a chainring protector, and 44t + 36t chainrings. Can anyone tell me where i can find such a crankset without spending $500?
These remind me of some cranks I had in the 90’s lol they were called critical racing I had them in red unfortunately both sets broke flush with the chain ring on the drive side , but these look wider at that area it is hard to pedal with only one crank arm
If nothing else, this reinforces the exceptional value of FC-M7100 cranks. Weigts below excl. chainrings but all other required hardware. Weight of chainrings are the same for all below, if you use 3rd party like AB, Garbaruk, Alugear, Unite etc. 523 gram. 5DEV 165 mm (according to this video). My cranks: 485 gram. X1 Carbon Eagle 175 mm (incl. crankarm boots). 500 gram. M7100 170 mm. 510 gram. M7100 175 mm. 530 gram. M7120 175 mm. 545 gram. GX Eagle 175 mm. 560 gram. NX Eagle 175 mm.
The weight was without spindle! My XTR 9100 - 165mm is 450gr, and My XT 8100 - 170mm is 520gr all two cranks with spindle + lockring but w/o chainring!
Since you regularly use entry level carbon and aluminum cranks on most of your bikes you can kindly ship those to me here in USA. I’ll even cover the import duties. 😉
5Devs are so sick.... my short legs found 152mm Trailcraft cranks that are more affordable and use Shimano BB. BTW, I love the T shirt! Other than Copeland and Kelso, what else is written on there?
Haven’t seen a test, but Nemo Mulally ran them for the downhill World Cup season last year. So defiantly nothing I could break. ua-cam.com/video/dlhWjcttwWY/v-deo.html
Define “looks weak”. It’s a trellis design and combining triangles has held up bridges that we drive on. Ducati has used trellis style rear subframes on their motorcycles for decades, race cars use trellis in chassis and roll cage protection, the list goes on. I understand the lack of visual heft makes it appear less substantial, but there’s a good chance that pound-for-pound this crank arm is on par with a lot of other solid cast or milled products. 👍🏽
I absolutely love these cranks, unfortunately I snapped my first set while riding off a drop, I didn’t crash, it snapped when I landed. 5Dev warranty is second to none I filed a warranty claim and had a complete new crank set within 48 hours. I haven’t had any issues with my second set but park season will put them to the test. The black anodizing doesn’t hold up against rock strikes, wish they made crank boots for these works of art but on my second set I added strips of frame protection and it’s worked out. Love the Vid, It will be nice to hear your thoughts once you’ve put some miles on the cranks.
The drive side crank cracked in half (separated in two pieces,) on landing the drop. I ride right foot back the failure point was on the crank at the pedal side of the crank across the large cut out in the crank. I hope that makes sense it would be easier to post a pic but 🤷♂️. Hope this helps
Sounds strange for Aluminum to do that. More likely something happened prior to your drop and the crank was compromised. Aluminum fatigues. Your drop was just what finished off the job.
@@hucknroll6723 I did 28 park days last year jumps, drops, Jank I purchased the cranks at the beginning of park season and had no crashes 🙏, only the occasional pedal strike, the crank snapped on my last park day, can aluminum fatigue from flex? I’m asking cause I don’t know and you seem to know about aluminum. Thanks
Same as what RaceFace has been doing for years, it works well. It allows you to swap spindles for different bikes like DH and fatbikes and keep your same crank arms.
I am sure they are great, just that I was so convinced when for the first time I tried 2-piece cranks over old type 3-piece that I would not go back. It's personal I guess :)
I pedal on these, reason for me was mainly two factors. Made in USA, I just wanted to support something local (and I LIVE in San Diego) as one reason. The other reason is because it was a higher quality crank product that I could find that offered 160mm length. Took them to Mammoth last year and after many months riding on them, I still love them. I would not pay so much money for them if I didn't have the budget for the upgrade though. So unless 160mm length cranks are over flowing out on the market, this is a nice item to have. I own the black and they haven't peeled on me yet, but I haven't smashed them on to rocks even after a couple falls. Or maybe they have hit the ground a couple times, but not hard enough to do any damage that I can see. Recommended if you have the budget!
@@LoveMTB the one on the vid is it with teeth like raceface Wide thin Whatever they call it lol or are all rings like that now To bad shamano and raceface aren’t the same they kind of go on the same way with a centre lock instead of three screws that I’ve seen with others strip out or come loose . Weight wise I think good
Hey Man thanks again for your great vids. But honestly putting that much money for a set of cranks that will get bashed , scratched IMO isn’t worth it. Yes they look great but its an upgrade purely for aesthetics unless you of course you have a super heavy crankset and your a weight freak. Same Goes to titanium cranks like the Ewings for $800-900 for cranks! Insane. Rather put that money on a fork upgrade or rear wheel upgrade maybe or even a nice set of titanium handle bars which will be noticeable performance. I use RaceFace Aeffect R 165mm costs about $90 and weighs 480 grams with 30T chainring. If you can afford it maybe why not . But thanks for the review.
@@LoveMTB yes of course it’s always nice try new components if you can afford it, they definitely look beautiful! I went a couple of times to their website but then I see the price and say no thanks
Expensive crank sets? Exactly the type of unnecessary crap that is driving up prices for those of us who just want simple effective engineering and cheaper bikes that WORK
Harder to clean? Not compared to Raceface, I guess hallow cranks yes. But no bond to fail here, bonds can be strong if well done i guess. But Shimano ha sissies iwth bonds failing. These cranks actually seems easier to clean than Raceface cranks, as the dirt comes off in both directions. And seems like this design reduces alot of weight while keeping it stiff enough, but not tried them. But an added benefit of these cranks is being able to out a bicycle lock trough it.
There's no functional reason to buy them. Weight is well over a number of cranks at half the price, which are all easier to clean. The design isn't particularly interesting, but then, there aren't many cranks available in purple. So if that's your thing... sure.
Could you list a couple of the comparably priced and weighted cranksets? The cost of these has been the only put-off for me and using 165’s, a full set of Eagle GX with spindle and chainring is only $150. Not sure about weight savings, but my wallet isn’t that much lighter, so I can happily suffer the penalty on the trail.
Yes, they're def beautiful, but my XT (I use 165mm cranks) are way cheaper and on par for weight if a full alloy chainring is used ( i doubt my XT chainring will wear out any time soon for me to get one though.) But thanks for showing us something different from the usual fare.
Those cranks are one of those far off upgrades I really want. Most beautiful cranks I've ever seen. They're art.
5DEV cranks are just wonderful jewelery for bikes.. Drool worthy and durable. Just priced more than I am willing to spend is the only down side I can even think of.

Best looking cranks on the market bar none IMHO 👌
I also liked how Hardtail Party noted they have a dampened ride feel
They would look that nice (the black ones) just 1 day. Have luck trying to put some protection on them.
@@docmccoy9813 yea, personally I'd opt for raw anyways, suits my bike's color better 🙂
I want those beautiful pieces of art 🤩 5dev makes beautiful components
Just pulled the trigger on 5DEV All Around pedals. You should get a pair and review them. I’ll have mine next week.

I bought the kashima 165 cranks and the kashima 30 t oval chain ring and Well and as the kashima trail and enduro pedals for my build
I just built up a titanium hardtail and planning to get these cranks for it. Pricey, but I'll sell my old frame to help pay for them.
What about the weight including the spindle? Most cranks have the spindle attached to at least one crank arm.
@@LoveMTB missed that bit 🤣😎

i prefer shimano cranks because you can install them with an allen key... the 54 nm for the sram cranks requires a breaker bar to get off
