Deity Components Vendetta 3.0 2012 Review

deity componentsvendetta 3.0 crankset

Deity’s aim with the Vendetta 3.0 was to produce a crank arm that was lightweight but as strong as possible. This was achieved during two years of testing using a 3D laser cutting process on the tubing in preparation for the welding. Deity managed to increase the thickness of the weld junctions by allowing the 3D laser to ‘accurately maximise as much material as possible.’ The results was an increase of 50% in the overall strength of the Vendetta 3.0 crank arms.

The Vendetta 3.0 also features a new threaded boss that will accept any standard crank puller. Previous Vendetta cranksets featured self extracting crankbolts which were complicated in design and had numerous parts making them difficult to remove and install correctly. The new threaded boss means any shop can easily remove the Vendetta 3.0 using a standard crank puller.

The Vendetta 3.0 also features hollow black flush mount crank bolts which considerably reduce the weight while also allowing for easy servicing, adjustment and removal. The Deity Components Vendetta 3.0 crankset now also features the industry standard 48T splined system, double butted 4130 cromo box cut tubing and a new reinforced spine boss on the front of the arms.

The crankset comes with flush mount crank bolts, 4mm chainline spacer, a sprocket boss bolt and an installation and removal tool. The Vendetta 3.0 2012 is also available with a limited lifetime warranty and weighs in at an impressive 629g (arms and bolts).

It comes in black and white as well as 165, 170 and 175mm lengths.
