The two - piece aluminum crank arms are paired with Ultra - Torque semi - axles in AISI 630 steel, providing both strength and light weight. The Hirth ProTech™ technology in the semi - axles makes them strong, efficient, and self - aligning. The premium 7075 aluminum chainrings are lightweight, resistant, and easily interchangeable. They have an optimized tooth design for efficient power transmission and maximum chain reliability. The four - arm design is symmetrically arranged for optimum load distribution and has a 104mm bolt circle diameter. It also features a 47.5mm chainline and a 151mm Q - factor.

Using the Campagnolo EKAR GT Crankset is straightforward. Just attach it to your bike following the standard installation process for a crankset with a Campagnolo Ultra - Torque interface. When riding, you'll notice its smooth operation and efficient power transfer, whether you're on gravel, road, or cyclocross terrain. For maintenance, regularly check the connection between the semi - axles inside the bottom bracket. Thanks to the ProTech™ technology, you can access it easily with a single screw for inspection. Keep an eye on the chainrings too. If you want to change them, simply unscrew them from the four arms of the crank without having to dismantle the whole crankset. Remember, since this crankset doesn't come with a bottom bracket, make sure yours is in good condition. Also, when using pedals, ensure they fit the 9/16' pedal spindle properly. Clean the crankset regularly to keep it in top shape and extend its lifespan.
