I'm lost in all the different names and graphics from Specialized on their cranksets.

Are they all the same crank arms basically ? I saw different types of spiders (carbon, alloy), and rings, but are there as many different types of cranksets (FACT carbon type, construction, etc...) from Specialized ?

Thanks :beerchug: !!!

Cranks are all the same. The spiders and rings are different.

I've had two pair & one had a hurst (campy) style axle interface & the other had a different style with maybe 6 or so large teeth instead. Not sure of the weight difference

Yep, they switched the style of the mid joint a few times. But still no difference in the crank arms marked S-works, vs the ones that are on some of the "Pro" level bikes.

The new style arms are a bit lighter and I like the shape a bit more.
