Overview

Hope EVO Crankset: forged 7150 aluminium MTB cranks on a 30 mm axle, 135-175 mm, from 560 g, £285 UK RRP (no spider).

Lengths run from 135 to 175 mm, axle options cover XC to DH and fat bikes including SuperBoost, and a spline mount takes direct-mount spiderless rings (28-36T) or 104 BCD single and 64/104 double spiders.
