Reviews & Ratings
The ELILEE XXE X310 Carbon Crank is a lightweight carbon crankset available with 24mm titanium or DUB aluminum axles. It uses the Easton Cinch interface for spiders and chainrings. Weights vary: 24mm Ti arms ~310g (some reports up to 330g for team version), DUB version ~300-321g; the X260 model can be as light as 251g for 170mm. Compatible with Shimano chainrings via a decorative spider cover. Q-factor is ~149mm (24mm) or ~151.5mm (DUB), but asymmetry of about 1mm (left wider than right) reported. Chainline is 44.5mm (Shimano). Some users report heel clearance issues due to straight arm design. Stiffness is good per independent testing. Power meter options include Sigeyi, Xcadey, and Elilee's own EK-01 (accuracy concerns). Buying from AliExpress or resellers like CycleGears may involve long shipping times, though some European buyers report positive experiences. The X260 offers similar performance at lower cost. Elilee is considered a solid Chinese option, used by WorldTour teams. However, proprietary tools are required for spider and crank maintenance, and some users experience spider squeak that needs regreasing. Installation can be tricky with chainline and front derailleur limits.
