Challenger Titanium Crank Arm

Material & Construction: Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5)

The core of this crankset is the 6AL-4V alloy (6% Aluminum, 4% Vanadium), an aerospace-grade titanium that offers significantly higher tensile strength than standard 3AL-2.5V titanium.

Weight-to-Stiffness Ratio: It provides exceptional stiffness for power transfer while remaining lightweight. Unlike carbon cranks which can feel overly rigid or "dead," titanium offers a unique compliance that helps dampen road vibrations.

Durability: Titanium is 100% corrosion-resistant, making it impervious to sweat, salt, and harsh weather conditions.

Aesthetics & Finish: Brushed with Gold Logo

Brushed Finish: The "hairline" brushed texture offers a raw yet premium look. A major advantage of this finish is maintenance; surface scratches from shoe rub can often be buffed out with a fine abrasive pad to restore the original look.

Gold Horse Laser Logo: The laser-etched gold horse insignia serves as the signature branding for Challenger, providing a high-contrast, luxury accent against the silver titanium.

Drivetrain & Compatibility

This spec is engineered to meet the most demanding modern cycling standards:

SRAM DUB Spindle: Features a 28.99 mm spindle diameter. The DUB (Durable Unifying Bottom Bracket) standard is designed for superior stiffness and better bearing sealing against the elements.

T47 Compatibility: Optimized for T47 bottom brackets (large-diameter threaded shells). This is the preferred standard for modern titanium and custom-built frames due to its creak-free performance and ease of service.

8-Bolt Direct Mount Interface: * 8-Bolt Pattern: This matches the high-end SRAM AXS interface, making it natively compatible with Quarq Power Meters.

Direct Mount: Allows for a clean, spiderless look for both 1x and 2x chainring setups, reducing weight and increasing structural integrity.
