ROTOR Components – The Evolution of Pedalling
It all began with a dream: in 1996, Pablo Carrasco and Ignacio Estellés founded ROTOR Bike Components. The idea was to overcome the dead point in pedaling with oval chainrings. The result: Q-RINGS, a successful product that revolutionized drive technology and is valued by many professionals in road riding, triathlon and mountain bike riding. Since then, ROTOR Bike Components has been one of the most innovative players in cycling and can point to numerous groundbreaking patents for road bike and mountain bike components. Research and development are subject to the strictest requirements, as are manufacturing and quality control. All products are manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities at the company's factory in Madrid.
ROTOR Cranks – Lightweight Design and Performance Perfectly Combined
Lightweight, stiff, versatile: ROTOR cranks are designed to convert every pedal stroke into efficient propulsion. The high-end manufacturer from Madrid consistently relies on the direct mount system – both for mountain bike cranks such as KAPIC, R-Hawk and R-Raptor and for road bike cranks such as ALDHU and VEGAST. You also benefit from easy installation without the need for special tools. Numerous chainrings in a one-piece design (oval and round) offer you a wide choice for rides on any terrain and are further proof of the high innovative strength of the ROTOR brand.
ROTOR crank highlights:
- Direct mount system for maximum stiffness and easy installation
- CNC-machined crankarms for low weight and optimal power transfer
- Compatible with oval and round chainrings in a one-piece design
- UBB bottom bracket (Universal Bottom Brackets) – suitable for almost all bottom bracket standards
- Direct-mount spider for 110x4 and 110x5 bolt patterns – ideal for use with existing chainrings
ROTOR Power Meters – Train Like the Pros
When it comes to power measurement, ROTOR leaves nothing to chance. ROTOR power meters bring the performance of the pros directly to your bike – for measurable progress with every turn of the pedals. The range offers single-sided (INPower) and double-sided (2INPower) direct mount cranks for road bikes and mountain bikes with very high accuracy and an exceptionally powerful software solution. A special feature is the protected power measurement integrated into the axle. Are you interested in a 2INPower power meter crank and want to find out which power meter version is right for your bike? Then discover all the options now at ROTOR Power Meters.
Q-RINGS – More Power Through Technology
The oval Q-RINGS are not copies of existing systems, but the patented benchmark for oval chainrings. With 5 optimal chainring positions (OCP, optimum chainring position), you can change the alignment to the crankarm to increase your pedaling efficiency. With direct mount systems, you can even adjust the position by degrees. The unrivaled adaptation system also allows you to mount your CNC-machined Q-RINGS on almost all standard cranksets.
