CYBREI 24mm spindle version is HERE! 330g cranks!

The reviewer discusses the CYBREI Carbon Crankset, comparing the original DUB version with the new 24mm spindle version. He highlights the crankset's popularity, stiffness, lightness, and reliability, noting its adoption by SRM and use in the World Tour. The 24mm version offers compatibility with Shimano setups and larger bearings but is heavier and more expensive due to its titanium spindle.

Cybrei carbon crankset & carbon chainrings

The CYBREI Carbon Crank Assembly w/ Alloy Spider is a lightweight Chinese carbon crankset with a 29mm DUB alloy axle, 148mm Q-factor, and 44mm chainline for 2x setups. It uses a Cinch interface and comes with a 40g 4-arm alloy spider. Crank weights are around 320g (without spider). Available lengths from 162.5mm to 175mm. Users report good stiffness, light weight, and compatibility with spider-based power meters. Some noted tight installation, preload bolt shearing, and chainline issues with certain frames. Customer service from Panda Podium is praised. Considered a good value alternative to SRAM Red, but some prefer SRAM Red for reliability.
