RAKETA COMPONENTS Spider 8-bolt Direct Mount 5-arm BCD 110 | high-gloss black
Rockets, the heart of space travel, are subject to considerable stress: enormous accelerations, high speeds, extreme temperatures and the vacuum of space. In this environment, the highest standards of quality and precision are not mere ideals, but vital requirements. Space rockets must function reliably - during launch, in space and on re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. The selection of the best materials and workmanship with maximum precision are therefore crucial to ensure safety, functionality and reliability. Even the smallest deviations can have catastrophic consequences, which is why no compromises are possible in the space industry. A similar demand for technical excellence is also evident at Raketa Components. Although the company is dedicated to cycling and not space travel, it focuses on the highest material quality and processing precision when developing its components. Selected aluminum alloys with outstanding properties, precision-manufactured with minimal tolerances, form the basis for spiders that offer quick chainring changes, individual gear ratio selection and maximum reliability in competition use thanks to their modular design.
If you want to be as fast as a rocket on your racing bike, you need a highly effective power transmission that does not lose a single watt. For this reason, Raketa's spiders are designed to be exceptionally precise and stable. This allows you to transform every pedal stroke into direct acceleration and constant propulsion - for maximum speed with minimum energy loss. Developed on the basis of experience from track cycling, where Raketa has been supporting world-class cyclists for years as a material supplier, components are created at the highest level. Valuable feedback directly from competition use flows into product development. In no other racing class are drive components exposed to such enormous loads as in track cycling. In disciplines such as sprint or keirin, riders briefly pedal at extremely high power levels - often over 2000 watts. Any deformation of the spider would noticeably cost performance.
Whether 1x or 2x: The Raketa Spider allows the mounting of common 5-arm chainrings with 110 mm bolt circle on modern 8-hole direct mount cranks - for maximum flexibility in the choice of gear ratio and material.
The spiders undergo an elaborate manufacturing process that takes a lot of time and care, from the blank to the precisely CNC-milled and masterfully finished result. Each Spider is given the characteristic Raketa surface quality - with a hand-polished finish and an incomparably shiny anodized finish.
