The Comet MegaEXO crankset is available in three crank arm lengths: 165mm, 170mm, and 175mm, ensuring a proper fit for riders of various sizes or those seeking a particular pedaling cadence. The external bearing system of the MegaEXO provides smooth rotation, reduced friction, and efficient power transfer, which is essential for maintaining consistent performance in harsh conditions.
Its modular design is another standout feature, offering easy customization and the potential for future upgrades. This adaptability makes the Comet crankset a reliable and versatile option for fat bike riders, providing exceptional durability and efficiency when tackling the most demanding trails.
Testing
During our testing, the FSA Comet MegaEXO Modular Fat Bike Crankset 1X with the 170mm crank arm length and 30T chainring proved to be a reliable choice for challenging winter conditions. We focused on riding through deep snow and technical, rough trails, and the crankset excelled in providing smooth power transfer and efficient pedaling. The modular design allowed for easy adjustments, though we stuck with the 30T chainring for this setup. The external MegaEXO bottom bracket bearings ensured a smooth rotation throughout our rides, contributing to the crankset’s overall durability. It handled the demands of long, cold rides without any issues, making it a solid choice for fat biking in snowy environments.
In conclusion
In conclusion, the FSA Comet MegaEXO Modular Fat Bike Crankset 1X is a high-quality, durable choice for anyone looking to enhance their fat bike setup. Its reliable performance, strong build, and ease of use make it an excellent option for riders who seek consistent power transfer and a smooth ride, regardless of the terrain.
