Pure fun. When you slap MotoCranx onto your bike, you make it into a vehicle of pure fun. Pump tracks, dirt jumps, skate parks, slalom courses, bike parks and rowdy descents all become sine waves of pumpy love power.
More powerful. The square motocross stance feels significantly stronger than the staggered bike stance. In weightlifting, it’s common for a lifter to use 1/2 their square stance weight when they use a staggered stance. One expert rider who tried MotoCranx on a pump track said, “Oh my god, it’s so fast I don’t think the track is made to handle the speed.” The track can handle it. We just have to catch up.
Faster. The neutral stance opens up so much leg strength it’s crazy. Every pump track racer should rock these until the UCI bans them.
Easier on your body. What other sport confines your feet to an awkward staggered stance? None! Compared with a bike stance with your feet ~340mm apart front to back, the square stance with your feet next to each other is way easier on your legs, hips and low back. While a hip hinge is still important for aggressive riding, the square stance lets you do most of your riding in a more upright, natural posture that requires way less mobility — and just feels better for most riders. I know many of your quads and low backs ache on long downhills. Say goodbye to that madness.
More efficient training. Based on my experience coaching riders of all levels, MotoCranx are the fastest way to hone the pumping techniques used by all great riders. With your feet next to each other, the rest of your body catches on very quickly. When you get back on your pedal bike, you’re way more skilled.
Work with injuries. If you have any issues with your legs, hips and lower back, MotoCranx allow you to ride and have fun with less fitness, mobility and strength. I used MotoCranx to rehab a hamstring tear. This video was shot just 8 weeks post op.
Tricks! Imagine having way more explosive pop and knowing exactly where your pedals are. Dirt jumps, skatepark and slopestyle will never be the same.
Give your dirt jumper or that old trail or DH bike new life!
