The New Rotor Aldhu Carbon DirectMount 12-speed Shimano

The Rotor Aldhu Carbon crankset in its chainring version was known. Now, it’s possible to go under 550 g in all Aldhu Carbon versions with Shimano 12-speed groupsets (105, Ultegra, DA). Crankset owners can purchase only the Spidering in one of its three versions: 48/31, 50/34, or 52/36 (round or ovalized).
Thanks to its CNC-machined Spidering, directly mounted on the axle, this crankset eliminates traditional fixing bolts, thus saving valuable grams. The result? A verified weight of only 538 g in the 170 mm version with 48/31 ovalized chainrings. The Spidering design has also been rethought to visually integrate with Shimano 12-speed groupsets, while remaining 100% compatible with Shimano 11/12-speed and Sram 11-speed drivetrains, whether mechanical or electronic.
