Acros has been on the scene for 10 years now and has recently been on our radar a lot for their high end mountain bike components. This German brand is pushing quality parts and we're into them. At the Otter we were able to take a few minutes and talk with them about some of their finer mountain bike products.
Video and details inside,
A Flats:This pedal has a huge surface area (103mm x 95.6mm), yet is very thin in profile (20mm thick). The one bearing and one bushing combo, along with the tension screw assure that the longevity of this pedal is of true concern when it was manufactured. At 466 grams per set they may not be the lightest, but they will likely outlast most of the competition for smoothness and durability. They come in either White or Black.
Component Collections - Pimptastic Groups: |
| Rock and Roll for Ever |
Acros has put together complete collections in which you can pick your parts (Headset, hubs, B.B. and Seat Post) to either color coordinate your bike or simply have a few flashy parts to show off to your friends. The collections are available in Black Metal, Eau Rouge, White Line, Rock n' Roll / Deeep Purple (Pictured), LadyKiller, Chrome and Clockworx Orange.
Signature head sets:Acros has access to some of the world's best bearings and you'll find them inside all their components. Their headsets do not use the typical wedge system on top of the bearings either and oddly enough, you never hear about an Acros headset needing to be adjusted or tightened up after its been installed. They have a solid line up of pros representing their line up too with the likes of Thomas Vanderham, Richey Schley, Cedric Gracia, Randy Spangler and Jeff Lenosky all having signature model headsets.
In North America
Acros Components can be found through
BTI Distribution.
Then find yourself someone there who will pick it up from product line, and bring it to the main door. Then consider shipping cost of 1 piece comparing to order for shipping 10 000 on a 700ft long cargo ship taking millions of tons of other stuff. You want to rent a Cessna with a pilot to fly over Pacific to take it for you?
Not purple again.
especially the vanderham one!
