Ágilis (Latin for lightweight) is a 513g (175mm 110BCD) innovative conventional crankset and bottom bracket technology developed by Rotor that incorporates hollow alloy cranks, an adjustable length semi-integrated axle and self aligning bottom bracket cupset (SABB). Ágilis is the first crankset to be offered with Rotor Q-Rings as original equipment, and were designed to be used with the SABB Cupset, but can also be used with traditional round chainrings and can be used with other outboard cupset systems.   purchase

Ágilis (Latin for lightweight) road crankset is an innovative conventional crankset and bottom bracket technology developed by Rotor that incorporates hollow alloy cranks, an adjustable length semi-integrated axle and self aligning bottom bracket cupset (SABB). Ágilis is the first crankset to be offered with Rotor Q-Rings as original equipment, and were designed to be used with the SABB Cupset, but can also be ordered without chainrings and can be used with other outboard cupset systems. Q-Rings, SABB Cupset, and Ceramic Bearing Kits are not included with the Ágilis by default, however they are available and can be configured with your online order.

HOLLOWMINIUM Technology
The Ágilis crankset is produced from billet aluminium, which is CNC’d, turned, drilled and hollowed into a stiff, light crankarm. This process enables us to maintain the strong aluminum molecular structure, preserving its outstanding properties by maintaining the orientation of its fibers, which provides a greater resistance to fatigue without the weight penalty. Many cranksets are hollow, but the Ágilis crankset is hollow in a way that makes sense, allowing it to be light, strong, stiff and structurally sound, which is referred to as HOLLOWMINIUM technology.

Adjustable semi-integrated axle
Improving the already popular “integrated BB axle” concept, the spindle’s anchorage to the left crank comes as a standard factory set up, but with an innovative double threaded bolt, which allows for adjustments in the spindle’s final length. The drive side end of the spindle has a 7 face tapered anchorage, which allows the axle to be assembled and disassembled easily while still maintaining it’s reliability. This allows the consumer to align the bottom bracket, taking into account the actual dimensions of his/her frame, getting a perfect installation every time and benefiting from the appropriate strength distribution from the bottom bracket bearings.
