I ran into BOR cranks the other day. Their road crank looks a lot like a Hollowgram. At 520 gram w/o rings it's just about the same weight. It has an 30 mm axle, and BOR supplies bottom brackets/bearings for almost every system.

I found the compact version on the web for little under 500 euro.

On their website, they state they cooperate with Tune, although I get the feeling their simply a Tune brand? Who has any more info about this?

Any experience with their cranks are greatly appreciated. Image

As far as I know B.O.R. makes stuff for Tune (Smartfoot) and also has it's own line.

I had the XC666 and the 688r and both are stiff / good cranksets

Bor are solid cranks. They are just like the tune smart foot. Flawless with minimal weight penalty.
