Nice.

Snapped my pedal clean off landing a jump and somehow my XT’s were unharmed, but it’s definitely a point that gets extra abuse.

Pity no Shimano Steps fitting. I might have been tempted.

Are the ‘regular’ Evo cranks ISIS only?

Edit: of course yes, the come with their own axle so it’s down to BB/shell compatibility in that case. Can’t do that with Steps at least.

Just ordered a pair from Leisure Lakes.
I do wonder why everyone wants short cranks on E bikes I have always ran 175 on my MTB's. Is the BB lower so more likely so suffer pedal strikes or is it just a lack of skills, length of leg?
I have always ride 175 cranks, DH and trail and I get way more pedal strikes on my 165 emtb. Think is cause you pedal at stuff and places you don't normally pedal at with smtb.

I have far mode pedal strike with 165 that I did with 175 on my analogue bike - even though the pedal to ground distance is almost identical at 140mm. The reason is I believe due to the eMTB being heavier and not carrying momentum as easily. With the analogue bike I could bunny-hop or huck over roots and rocks even on a climb but with the ebike I have to keep a much more consistent pedal cadence.

Run short cranks on eebs because you can. No need for 175 leverage and 160 is much better on the down. Quicker back pedal or low foot change from corner to corner and better feel having your feet closer to tge fulcrum

They’ve intimated that other lengths and Shimano compatible versions on the way.

I have 175mm on my bike, I think 165mm would be sufficient.
