Tensile Cranks (140mm) testing:

At first I thought these were flimsy cranks. At a little over 400 grams, it points that way. I was sure they were going to bend at any moment, but I wanted to see how they did!

I have jumped a 9 sets, done a few six foot drops (to flat), and some not to clean 8ft rolling gaps (between sticks). I'm a 160 lbs.

These things are still straight.

The verdict:
Great if you are a smooth trials rider who does not do any massive drops. If you weigh over 180lbs, I'd probably go with moments. The added reinforcements for unitrials seems to be working.
