Let’s check out 5DEV’s product lineup and all of the reasons why they might find a home on your dream build!

Attached to those spindles you’ll find 5DEV’s chainring, which just like the cranks, comes in either aluminum or titanium and you can choose from a few different styles. Just like the cranks, all of these fancy ninja stars started as a solid block of metal before being subjected to the hard life of handling all of your watts. 5DEV has mounting interfaces for all SRAM cranks as well as 104 BCD cranks, and they offer both round and oval rings to keep everybody happy. Their oval rings even have a choice between 6% and 12% ovalness, something I’ve never seen from any other company. As for colors, you’ve got an intimidatingly long list of twelve color options of their 7075 Classic Chainring, and four colors in their Ultra Light Titanium Chainring.

5DEV’s titanium chainring is not only lighter and more spage age looking than the aluminum chainring, but it also lasts three times longer because of titanium’s increased durability over aluminum. Now if we do a little bit of simple math, you’ll actually save yourself some cash by choosing the titanium option over the aluminum in the long run, not to mention you’ll be saving a little weight the whole time and you won’t have to deal with the headache of pulling your cranks to switch your chainrings.

Just like their other components, the 5DEV Ti Stem is machined out of a block of aluminum in San Diego, California. With a futuristic yet old school look, this stem is built to turn heads, especially with the flashy color options. Two bolt handlebar clamp interfaces on most stems do a great job of chewing up handlebars during installation, but their design manages to set itself apart from the pack and is easier to install than other 4 bolt designs! 5DEV said it themselves that this product isn’t for everyone, but for anyone who truly appreciates a highly trained technician machining these works of art here in the United States, you’d be hard pressed to find a stem that has the same craftsmanship and quality behind it.

5DEV offers two very similar pedals that are both works of art from the USA based machine shop. You’d be forgiven for not seeing the difference between their All Around Pedal and their Trail Enduro Flat Pedal, with the difference lying right in the middle of the two pedals. Digging into the center of your shoe on the Trail Enduro Flat Pedal is two extra pins as well as some machined teeth in the pedal body. Both pedals have more than enough real estate for your feet, and a bit of concavity to hold your feet in place. For those of you who need the perfect color to complete your two wheeled art installation, then the All Around Pedal offers more color options than the Trail Enduro Pedal, while it does sacrifice a little bit of grip.

All of 5DEV’s components are towing the line between an art piece that should be kept in an exhibit and a capable mountain bike component that can handle abuse for as many years as you’ll let them. While these are not budget friendly bike parts, not every option on the market has an obligation to offer the maximum price to performance ratio, and 5DEV has thrown caution to the wind with their expensive manufacturing strategy in the United States. Supporting a company that has all of their operations here in the US is a little easier when the products have this combination of bling and performance.
