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

The e*thirteen Helix Race Carbon e*spec Cranks represent the pinnacle of ultralight carbon e-bike engineering, delivering the highest strength-to-weight ratio available in the e-MTB world today. Developed through years of intensive carbon fiber layup optimization and advanced high-pressure compression molding, these premium carbon crank arms are purpose-built for discerning riders and pro-level racers looking to shed serious rotational mass. Despite their remarkably low weight, they maintain the precise structural rigidity and elite power transfer needed to maximize motor efficiency under heavy torque loads.

This model is engineered for standard ISIS spindle motor interfaces, providing clean, factory-level integration across the industry's leading high-output e-bike platforms. It is extensively compatible with Bosch CX Gen 4/Gen 5, Bosch SX, TQ HPR50, Brose S Mag, DJI Avinox, Yamaha, and Specialized 2.2/3.1 systems. Featuring a wide 26mm offset, these cranks achieve a generous 186mm Q-factor, ensuring absolute mechanical clearance around wide, modern chainstays and bulky rear suspension pivots while providing a highly stable, centered stance for maximum technical control on descents.

At a progressive, short 160mm length, these crank arms striking the ultimate sweet spot between raw pedaling leverage and vital ground clearance on modern, low bottom-bracket frame geometries. Shorter carbon arms allow you to maintain a fast, uninterrupted pedaling cadence through technical, rock-strewn climbs—substantially decreasing pedal strikes while keeping your motor operating in its most efficient RPM range. For simple, hassle-free maintenance, the arms feature integrated alloy self-extracting crank bolts that streamline installation and routine home workshop service.

Weighing an incredible, featherweight 326g, these elite cranks carry an unconditional ASTM 5 certification, ensuring they are light enough for fast-paced trail riding yet rugged enough to dominate brutal shuttle days at the bike park. Finished in a premium matte graphite carbon finish, they include custom-molded protective crank boots that serve as a high-impact shield against flying trail debris and inevitable rock strikes. Designed for weight-conscious, high-performance e-bike builds, the Helix Race Carbon e*spec cranks are backed by e*thirteen's dependable 5-year manufacturer warranty.
