Race Face Next SL G5

This crankset uses a 30mm spindle and the CINCH bottom bracket interface. You will need to ensure your frame's bottom bracket shell is compatible with 30mm spindles or that you have the correct adapter or bottom bracket kit to accommodate it.

No, the Next SL G5 is sold as crank arms only. You will need to purchase a CINCH-compatible direct-mount chainring separately to complete the drivetrain.

Yes, the Next SL G5 is fully compatible with Race Face CINCH power meter systems. You can easily upgrade to a power-measuring setup at any time by swapping the spindle or spider.

While it is engineered specifically for the weight and stiffness demands of cross-country racing, its carbon construction is robust enough for general trail riding. However, if you frequently ride extremely aggressive terrain or enduro, you might consider a burlier option from the Race Face lineup.

The direct-mount interface gives you significant flexibility. It allows you to quickly swap chainrings to change gear ratios or chainring standards without needing to replace the entire crankset, making it easy to adapt to different terrain or drivetrain updates.

Yes, the Next SL G5 is Boost compatible. The chainline is determined by the specific CINCH direct-mount chainring you choose to install, allowing you to set it up correctly for your frame's spacing.
