Product Information

Full details

The Praxis Zayante DM CarbonX is an elite-tier crankset designed for road cyclists and gravel riders seeking a superior balance of minimal weight and high power transfer. Its standout benefit is the proprietary LevaTime II shifting technology, which provides incredibly crisp and fast gear transitions, though it requires specific M30 bottom bracket compatibility that may necessitate an adapter depending on your frame. Built with high-modulus carbon arms and an X-Spider architecture, this crankset is engineered to handle aggressive climbing and high-cadence efforts with ease.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this crankset work with a standard Shimano Hollowtech II bottom bracket?

No, this crankset requires a Praxis M30 bottom bracket. You will need to install the version of the M30 bracket that matches your frame's shell (e.g., BSA, BB86, etc.).

Can I use 12-speed chains with the Zayante CarbonX?

Yes, this crankset is fully compatible with 10, 11, and 12-speed chain systems.

What is the BCD of these rings?

The Zayante DM CarbonX uses a 160/104BCD direct mount X-spider configuration.

Is the crank arm length adjustable?

No, the crank arm length is fixed at 175mm for this specific model.

Will this work with electronic shifting like Di2 or eTap?

Yes, the LevaTime II technology is designed to work seamlessly with both mechanical and electronic shifting systems from Shimano, SRAM, and Campagnolo.

How do I maintain the carbon finish?

Wipe down with a damp cloth after rides. If you use a protectant, ensure it is safe for carbon fiber composites.

Troubleshooting

Creaking during pedaling

Remove crank arms, clean the spindle and bearings, apply fresh waterproof grease, and torque to the specified manufacturer setting.

Poor front shifting performance

Ensure the front derailleur height and angle are correctly indexed; verify that the LevaTime II chainrings are not damaged or bent.

Excessive play in the crank

Check the wave washer and preload adjuster on the non-drive side arm to ensure the crank is properly seated against the bottom bracket bearings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Zayante CarbonX, you must pair it with a Praxis M30 bottom bracket. The M30 system is versatile and fits a variety of shell types including BSA, BB86, 386EVO, BB30, PF30, T47, and BBRight.

  1. Installation: Ensure the M30 bottom bracket is pressed or threaded according to your frame's specific standard.
  2. Tooling: Use the appropriate M30-specific bottom bracket tool to secure the unit.
  3. Chainline: Check your derailleur limit screws after installation to account for the optimized chainline provided by the X-rings.
  4. Care: Clean the chainrings with a mild degreaser and a soft brush. Periodically inspect the carbon arms for any signs of heavy impact. Avoid using harsh solvents that could degrade the clear coat on the carbon.
