Mastering Aerodynamics in Crank Design

The crank is one of the most complex components in terms of aerodynamics. The leading edge of its shape becomes the trailing edge 180 degrees later, and there are significant factors at play, including the major influence of forward speed and the minor influence of rotational speed. Additionally, your feet are spinning by, the frame is right there, the chain runs over the chainring and can’t be easily optimized aerodynamically, and so on.

Our best aerodynamic shape resembled a knife, measuring just 12mm wide at the pedal—significantly thinner than anything else available (most cranks are 15-17mm wide at the pedal end). In the other direction, our desired profile was much deeper than usual.

The transition to the spider is another challenging area. For structural and stiffness reasons, we wanted the spider to be integrated with the crank arm, with fibers running through both. At the same time, we needed the chainring to be spatially separated from the drive-side crank arm (rather than forming a blended shape) to avoid aerodynamic blockage. The Torno spider achieves exactly that and works in unison with the dedicated Torno aero rings.

Bringing Carbon Craftsmanship Back to Italy

Back in 2016, we decided to bring the production of our high-end carbon parts back to Italy, starting with the Torno crank. Today, we have the most advanced factory for manufacturing complex bike components at our headquarters in Presezzo, Italy. Combining automation with skilled manual labor, this is where we produce the Torno from the ground up. Raw carbon fiber and resins are brought in, and after undergoing a series of proprietary processes and meticulous craftsmanship, the world’s most beautiful cranks (if we may say so ourselves) are shipped out to you.

Thanks to this in-house manufacturing, the Torno and Torno Wide are among the world’s lightest aero cranks, despite also being the thinnest and having the lowest Q-Factor on the non-Wide version. This level of precision simply wouldn’t be possible anywhere else.
