ethirteen Helix Race Alloy espec Cranks for ISIS Spindle - 160mm, 26mm Offset, Black

The ethirteen Helix Race Alloy espec Cranks are a premium, high-strength alternative to carbon fiber, engineered specifically for high-torque ISIS spindle e-bike motors. Forged and precision CNC-sculpted from 6066-T6 aluminum, these short-profile 160mm crank arms drastically reduce pedal strikes on low-BB trail geometries. Featuring a 26.5mm offset for a balanced Q-factor, integrated alloy self-extractors, and impact-absorbing crank boots, they deliver maximum durability and weight-efficient performance on Bosch, TQ, Brose, Yamaha, and specialized e-MTB platforms.

e*thirteen Helix Race Alloy e*spec Cranks for ISIS Spindle Motor Systems - 160mm, 26mm Offset, Black

Upgrade your electric mountain bike with the stiff, lightweight, and beautifully engineered e*thirteen Helix Race Alloy e*spec Cranks. Forged and precision CNC-sculpted from premium 6066-T6 aluminum, these high-performance crank arms offer an incredibly robust, impact-resistant alternative to carbon fiber without the weight penalty. Purpose-built to handle the demanding, high-torque output of aggressive e-MTB riding, they feature a low overall profile and pair seamlessly with Helix Race e*spec Direct Mount chainrings to deliver the ultimate combination of premium trail performance and clean, factory integration.

This model is engineered for standard ISIS spindle motor interfaces, providing extensive compatibility across the industry's leading e-bike platforms, including Bosch CX Gen 4/Gen 5, Bosch SX, TQ HPR50, Brose S Mag, DJI Avinox, Yamaha, and Specialized Turbo Levo/SL motor systems. Featuring a 26.5mm offset, these cranks achieve an optimized 182.9mm Q-factor. This precise geometry balances internal motor casing clearance with a natural, ergonomic stance width that optimizes pedaling efficiency and maximizes control when navigating technical trail features.

At a optimized, short 160mm length, these crank arms strike the ideal balance between raw leverage and enhanced ground clearance on modern, low bottom-bracket frame geometries. Shorter crank lengths allow riders to maintain a high, fluid pedaling cadence through rocky, root-strewn climbs, significantly improving technical climbing capability while minimizing the risk of high-speed pedal strikes. The assembly is built to last with premium 7075 alloy hardware, integrated alloy self-extractors for effortless tool-free extraction, and an e*thirteen Adaptive Preload System (APS) adjuster for simple, play-free bearing setup.

Weighing 423g, these stealthy black anodized crank arms are engineered to take a beating. The full CNC finish strips away unnecessary material to maximize the strength-to-weight ratio, while the included custom-molded protective crank boots act as a resilient shield against inevitable rock strikes and trail debris. Fully engineered for continuous, high-performance trail abuse, the Helix Race Alloy e*spec cranks are backed by e*thirteen's dependable 5-year manufacturer warranty.
