Strengths: Ultra-stiff and strong as advertisedWeaknesses: It ain't cheapBottom Line: I'm not a heavy rider, so getting parts to flex is really hard for me. I do notice a better response when laying down the power either climbing or sprinting. I can certainly feel a better transfer of power over my old aluminum Chorus crankset.
Favorite Ride: Out to the ocean and back
Purchased At: Jenson USA
Bike Setup: Campagnolo Chorus components, Easton Ascent II wheelset, Phil Woods BB, Chris King headset, Deda stem and handlebars

Strengths: Light
Stiff
Spins
Super beautifulWeaknesses: A little on the high price side if you buy it new.Bottom Line: Awesome crankset, absolutely amazing to look at, ultralight and the ultratorque is stiff as all H.
The only thing I thought would be nice is if they made a keyway so the cranks could only fit in the correct position. Again its not a big deal, just would be a nice addition.
Favorite Ride: Flat and Fast

Strengths: Precise Shifting, little flex, styling that lasts.Weaknesses: The pedal insert came out along with the pedal, and Campy says there is no fix other than replacing the entire crankset.Bottom Line: I own the 2006 Record 10 CT Crankset, but this review is applicable to the Chorus. This review concerns a manufacturing defect with the crankset and Campy's unwillingess repair the crankset.
Recently, when removing the pedal from the right crankarm, the the alloy insert of the crankarm came out along with the pedal. My LBS contacted Campy about a fix, and they replied that it could not be fixed; that a new crankset was required. My LBS told me that they believe this response is BS. The insert was obviously threaded into the crankarm at some point of the manufacturing process and some compound was used to prevent the insert from coming out along with a pedal. I did not ask for free service (my 3 year warranty is up) or a replacement. All I wanted was a repair at cost to me. It is obvious to my LBS and to me that repair should be possible. I expected more from Campy, so be aware of this issue before buying.

Strengths: I found out just how good this crankset is, by purchasing it after giving up on FSA after TWO broken KForce cranks. FSA showed me just how AMAZING Campy UT Carbon equipment really is.
No other crank spins as freely as this UT design, with the bearings onboard in the crank arms, rather than in a bottom bracket.
SUPER LIGHT, SUPER STIFF, PERFECT.Weaknesses: there isn't one.Bottom Line: absolutely perfect. no flex. instant power transfer. very light. great warranty. sexy carbon weave. great Q factor. virtually no friction. SPINS freely.
Favorite Ride: Stowe VT
Similar Products Used: Truvativ, SRAM Red, Dura Ace, Ultegra, Race Face, FSA (crap) KForce.

Strengths: Smooth BB, light and flawless when used in a campy systemWeaknesses: NoneBottom Line: Light and direct. First impression was a firmness in the pedal and sole of the shoe but after a few miles this became the standard feel. Upon riding some more distance the smoothness of the BB came into play and the campy drive train became one in so much that no flaws or weaknesses were apparent and literally felt non existent. My prior FSA crankset in reflection ran a little course even though it was well looked after. Spun well and light in the pedal stroke, and noticed a little more edge in punching up hills, with no flex that I could tell. The complete package when using a full campy outfit and just make sense
Favorite Ride: anywhere with light winds
Price Paid:
$300.00
