Rotor for 2011 has several new features. Some products we have already spoken, but will be officially presented at Eurobike:

- 3D + crank: based on the venerable 3D, updated with a 30mm axle. These cranks are fully compatible with BB30, BBright and any conventional BSA threaded frame. For an ultra rigid crank their weight is impressive: just 470 grams for the compact version and 493 grams for the XC2 version (without BB/chainrings). These cranks are certified to the EN14781 standard, one of the most demanding test in the market.

- 3D Aero & Track cranks: These new 3D crank variants, designed for TT and Track bikes, have a striking closed spider design with an ultra-light, aerodynamic, reinforced structure. The Track version increases overall stiffness compared to an open spider crank to fulfil the demands of track racing.

- Q-Rings: updated, bold laser graphics belie several updates to the Q-Ring design with upgraded pins and revised teeth profiles increase shifting precision and prevent chain sucks.

- BSA30 BB: ride an ultra-rigid, super-light 3D+ crank in your BSA threaded frame. High precision ceramic and steel Enduro bearings. Extremely low dynamic rolling resistance.

- BB30 to 24 BB: install your classic 24mm cranks in any BB30 frame without problems. Our new BB allows you to set your BB30 frame up exactly as you want, in a light and affordable package. Our latest generation seals provide protection against mud with smooth spinning.

- S3X XC Handlebar: The perfect complement to the recently launched S3X stem. Unidirectional HM carbon fiber, with titanium chainmail reinforcement at the bar end and stem clamping zones to prevent structural carbon damage. Striking graphics make this the perfect finishing touch for any bike. 120 grams.
