SkyPivot——A superlight carbon crankset from China

[Maddie]

I like the look a lot. Hope they are available soon

The finish on these look fine. They look similar in finish to many boutique weight weenie parts, but don't feel like lightweight parts. I commuted on 1 set for a month before covid lockdown. They are pretty solid performers.

If anyone at skypivot / sigeyi is listening, I suggest a change to the appearance of the crank.

Finish:

Don't paint it black or put glossy clear on it. Leave it raw and use a satin clear over it.

Branding:

Remove the in color branding entirely, and the solid skypivot logo. Just have the outline skypivot branding in waterslide decals on top of the clear.

IMO it'll look way more expensive and classy.

Quoting this again. The finish on the above cranks looks so cheap and shitty. Such a shame.

I don’t get it. It’s got satin clear, outline skypivot. Small incolor band but it’s minimal. Looks like they produced a crank that you wanted?

That's an updated version, my comment referred to the original.

However, the finish still looks pretty miserable in these newer photos .... and it's still painted black and there's no satin clear.

Indeed there's some pretty lumpy looking black paint and no clear at all.

I'd either not buy these, or have them stripped and refinished. They look like bad quality generic AliX parts atm, however good the cranks themselves actually are.

I really like the new graphics, i am with maddie, hoping these are going to be ready to ship soon

[Hogesyx]

any idea on AXS compatiblity for this crankset? I saw on their taobao shop they do comes with standard 2x and aero variant of chainring, there is also mention of 12s but not sure if it is talking about the mtb 12s or road.

Any news on the announced website and 175mm length? I cannot find info on internet anywhere ?

I think they are working on the design or something like that.
I remember something mentioning next spring for availability.

About the production rate and sale situation, there are about 60-70 sets have sold inside China now, and the factory can deliver about 20-30 sets for a month.

Here are some pics from users:

What wheels are those?

Looked up Vortex, but I don't think any of the top results are the same brand.

This is Huan Fang's bike, one of the famous amateurs in China. The wheels are Vortex N series with carbon spokes but only sold in China.

I couldn't find anything either but this makes sense if it's for Chinese market only, thanks! Looking forward to the cranks though! The combo in the photo looks awesome

I just asked incolor taobao shop.
They said small amount will be available before Chinese new year.
And there will be more stock after Chinese new year.

Haha, I don't have the permission to send message to you

Yes, I just ask incolor taobao shop. They said 175mm is "testing". And It may be available after Chinese new year.

But, in my point of view, it may takes a much longer time. Their production rate is so low....

Manage to get the updated set on November last year. The crankset combo was around 425g with all the hardware installed.

The new paint scheme is the right degree of subdued, nice. Given ~7.5g for chainring bolts and 94g for EL RC2, the cranks are 323.5g with a 5 arm spider, the updated version most likely didn't gain weight.
