Full details
The Race Face G4 Next Crank Boots are essential protective accessories for riders using Next SL G4 carbon crank arms who want to safeguard their high-end components against rock strikes and trail debris. Crafted from a resilient, proprietary plastic blend, these boots offer a snug, reliable fit that absorbs impact energy to prevent costly damage.

FAQs
Are these boots compatible with other Race Face carbon cranks?
No, these are specifically designed for the Next SL G4 profile and will not fit other models properly.
Do I need any adhesive to keep the boots on?
No, the boots are designed with a tight friction fit that holds them securely during aggressive riding.
How do I clean underneath the crank boots?
Simply pull the boot off the crank arm, rinse both the boot and the arm with water and mild soap, let them dry, and press the boot back on.
Will these boots affect my pedal stroke?
No, the boots are low-profile and lightweight, ensuring they do not interfere with your clearance or pedal mechanics.
Can I use these on aluminum crank arms?
These are explicitly designed for the carbon G4 series; they are not intended for use on aluminum crank arms.
Troubleshooting
Boot feels loose or rattles while riding
Remove the boot, clean the inner surface and the crank tip of debris, then re-seat it firmly.
Difficulty installing the boot
Ensure you are using the correct G4 model. If the boot is cold, warming it slightly with a hair dryer can make the plastic more pliable for easier installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the G4 Next Crank Boots is straightforward and requires no specialized tools. Simply align the boot with the end of the crank arm and press it firmly until it snaps into place. Because these are custom-molded, you should feel a distinct resistance that signifies a secure fit. For compatibility, verify your crank model is indeed the 'Next SL G4' before purchase, as these will not fit older or newer iterations of Race Face cranks. Regarding care, the boots are maintenance-free; however, it is recommended to remove them every few months to wash away any fine dust or mud that may have migrated underneath to ensure the carbon surface remains clean and scratch-free.
