The Evolution of Revolution—Built for Gravity.
Born on the steeps and tested on the gnarliest lines, Canfield DH Cranks are built to handle full-tilt downhill abuse without flinching. We set out to create a crank that delivers maximum strength, uncompromising durability, and improved clearance—all while looking fast standing still.
Backed by years of real-world punishment, our cranks have earned a reputation for unmatched reliability. We’ve been perfecting short cranks longer than anyone, delivering a low-profile aluminum design with the shortest lengths in the game and industry-leading strength-to-weight.
Inspired by the forward-thinking design of our Crampon pedals, Canfield DH Cranks are forged for maximum impact resistance and available in lengths down to 150 millimeters. Why so short? Because shorter cranks mean fewer pedal strikes, better ground clearance, and more control in high-consequence terrain. They also allow for a more compact riding position, keeping your center of gravity low and stable when the trail gets steep and loose.
Available in flat black and silver anodized finishes, each arm features raised polished ribbing to reduce heel rub and stand up to seasons of abuse. Canfield DH Cranks—designed to take the hits and keep charging.

Customer Reviews
Beautiful cranks and great service. Not many companies like this left. If you want shorter cranks, this is the way.
Hey Bryan,
Really grateful you took the time to share this! Stoked you’re loving the cranks, and thank you for the service shoutout — it means the world to us. When it comes to short cranks, we’re all in, and we appreciate you rolling with us. Welcome to the Canfield family!
I can't find any faults with the cranks themselves. They appear well constructed. I an 5ft7 with a 30 inch inseam. I went with the 150. I thought I got the 160 but apparently went all in and got the 150. After a single ride they are noticeable but also nothing I think I will regret. It's now time for the bike to sit for the winter so I'm very curious how they will feel in the spring. They were straightforward to install, just make sure your BB tool is the correct size.
Hi Scott!
Thanks for taking the time to drop such a thoughtful review. The 150s definitely have their own feel, but it sounds like you’re settling into them nicely. Stoked to hear the install went smooth on your end too.
Enjoy the off-season — we’re pumped to hear how they feel once you’re back out riding in spring. Welcome to the Canfield family!
My go-to source of MTB cranks is Canfield. Lance and his team always make sure I get exactly what I need and make sure that my needs are always taken care of. Thank you!
Hey Sunny,
Totally stoked to hear this! It’s awesome knowing Canfield Cranks are your go-to. Glad Lance and our team could get you exactly what you needed. Welcome to the Canfield family — pumped to have you rolling with us!
Great cranks in short lengths, it’s the only crank I ride, takes a licking and keeps on cranking 👍
Hey Benjamin,
So pumped to hear it! These cranks are built to take a beating and keep you rolling, and it’s awesome they’re your go-to. Thanks for the thumbs-up, and really appreciate you sharing your experience and support!
I swapped my bike's stock 170mm cranks for a set of these in 160mm (5'8" with approx. 31" inseam). Initially they didn't feel much different just pedaling around my street, which is good in some ways, but they really started to shine out on the trail. Everything just felt smoother, especially grinding up steep inclines or through chunky, techy terrain.
The real proof was in the stats at the end of the rides, showing noticeable improvements in overall and segment times on my local trails. Everything just felt easier and smoother, I was kind of shocked how much faster I was riding some sections.
Another added benefit is that the reduced length allowed me to install a longer dropper post that gets my seat tucked even farther out of the way.
Hey Sean,
Great to hear the 160mm cranks are working out so well! Shorter cranks, smoother rides, faster times — love hearing it all came together on the trails. Stoked they’re making steep climbs and techy sections feel easier while letting you tuck that seat farther out of the way. Sounds like the longer dropper post is the cherry on top. Really appreciate you sharing your experience! Welcome to the Canfield family!
Solid cranks, especially for the price. I am on my third bike I've installed these on and they can put up with a lot of abuse. It is very hard to find affordable cranks in 150mm and these have made such a difference in my riding. The Canfield customer service is also top notch.
Hey Lily,
This is rad! We love hearing about your third bike installation and that the cranks are still holding up on your other two bikes! Tough, affordable cranks that can take abuse and still perform — exactly what we build for. Really appreciate the shout-out to our customer service and your kind words. Thanks for the support!
I have had a set of the AM cranks on my hardtail for a year and a half. It has remained silent and utterly trouble free despite my best efforts. It has been so good I put a set on my full suspension bike after some vexing creaking that I could not rectify coming from a more notably fancier set-up. There are no preload rings, spacers or other bits to futz with. You have a single bolt on the non-drive side that needs to be tightened down. That's it. I guess you might possibly complain that Canfield uses the older GXP bottom bracket size. So you are on the hook for a another bottom bracket, but this isn't really a big deal as GXP BB's are easy to source (I literally walked into a nearby lbs and they had some). Even if you want something fancy you can get versions that are GXP compatible from Wheels Mfg and Chris King that will work. They look great too. Five outta five Ozzy fingers.
Hey Raymond,
So glad to hear the AM Cranks are holding up perfectly and keeping your rides trouble-free! Love that they’ve impressed enough for a second set on your full suspension bike, and that the installation was totally fuss-free. Thanks for the thorough feedback and the five outta five Ozzy fingers — really appreciate it!
These are my favorite cranks. Perfect blend of price, flexibility, and performance. My knees thank you.
Hey Adam,
Stoked to hear the AM Cranks are your favorite! The perfect blend of price, flexibility, and performance is exactly what we aim for. Glad your knees are thanking you too — that’s a win in our book. Thanks for sharing!
