FYI: The Truvativ Rouleur GXP is the same crank as the Bontrager Race Lite.
ahh ok, but it weighs more no?

The Bontrager claimed weight might be higher than the Truvativ, but I think Bontrager just did that to make the carbon Race X Light cranks appear lighter than the aluminum Race Lite cranks even though the reverse is true. There was a magazine test that reported that the Race Lite cranks weigh less than the Race X Light cranks. The Weight Weenies listings page confirms this.
The Race X Light cranks are also the same as the Truvativ Rouleur Carbon.
Also, I have both cranks. They really are the same.
