Introducing ALDHU and VEGAST from ROTOR (and WIN!)

WIN the brand new ALDHU, the new generation cranKset system from ROTOR. Ovalised or round chainrings? The choice is yours with this modular approach. Find out more here.
Last updated -

ALDHU and VEGAST are Rotor’s new generation crankset systems. They feature interchangeable arms and new 12% Ovalized Chain Rings.

*** Competition now closed ***


ALDHU and VEGAST from Rotor offers a crankset that allows you to fine tune your drive system by selecting axle, crank arms and rings. ROTOR are offering their cranksets with Q-Ring ovalized and of course round versions to suit your pedalling style. If you not a fan of Oval then all combos are available in round.

The Direct Mount (DM) spline fitting needs no specialist tools except allen Keys (8mm and 2mm) and you can adjust the Oval OCP (optimum chainring precision) position with ease. Machined crank arms using aeronautic-grade 7055 aluminium, the integrated configuration of the one-piece oval direct mount chainrings results in their lightest crankset ever at 590g with drilled out crank arms allowing weight reductions but keeping strength in the arm.

If you are choosing oval rings the system allows very fine tuning of your chain rings. This, we are assured, is a simple procedure to set up and adjust.

Why the names?

A little bit of history gives the model names:

ALDHU® is an abbreviation of the mythical Alpe d’Huez stage on the Tour de France to commemorate ROTOR’s first iconic victory with Carlos Sastre in 2008.

VEGAST®, inspired by ROTOR’s racing heritage to commemorate their victories in the Grand Tours – Tour de France (2008), Vuelta España (2011) & Giro Italia (2012). Their new crankset is named in honour of three of the highest climbs of these iconic races: VEleta – GAlibier – STelvio.
