Praxis Releases Road Race Doon Crankset, Revives Gamut Podium Pedal
Coming in hot with new gear at the Sea Otter Classic, Praxis has a full menu of new designs, including an all-new road race crankset, the Praxis Doon. But its not all skinny tire gear — Praxis is reviving a mountain bike favorite in the Podium pedal and a new mountain stem.
Praxis Doon Road Crank
The Doon is Praxis’s new top-of-the-line road crankset. Like the Zayante it dethrones, its namesake is another famous road: Bonny Doon in Santa Cruz.
It’s the lightest and most advanced Praxis road crankset to date. Weighting in at a 342g 172.5 arm set. Thats 70g lighter than the Praxis Zayante carbon arm set. Our crankset weighed in a 577g with a 52/36 chainring setup.
Praxis uses its LevaTime II x-ring setup for the Doon, available in 48/32, 50/34, 52/36, and 53/39 combos with a two-tone anodized finish.
The Doon crankset features Praxis, our in-house C.R.A.F.T. carbon manufacturing, with a clever non-drive side arm aesthetic. The crankset has a 30mm spindle, but with Praxis bottom bracket options, it will fit any frame. However, the 2X road version, which has a 44.5mm chain line. Though though set up is incompatible with Shimano GRX front derailleurs.
The crankset is a module design, sold as 2X or as an arm set, so riders can customize their needs and favorite chainrings. The Doon will accommodate Praxis 3-bolt 1X Narrow/Wide rings so riders can dial in their gearing for the ride ahead.
It accommodates 10, 11, and 12-speed drivetrains. Praxis lists KMC, Shimano, and SRAM as specifically compatible.
Though it doesn’t come with a power meter, it is powermeter compatible. Any 3-bolt power meter interface will work; Power2Max or SRM come to mind.

The body is crafted from Forged and CNC 6061-T6 Aluminum and has a 3mm concave platform. The footprint boasts a slim 14mm height, a generous 115mm length, and a 112mm width. There are 48 stainless steel removable pins. The pins are M4 threaded, so other M4 grub pins will work. The pins use a 3mm Allen fitting for easy installation/removal and allow you to customize your pin layout with a total of 12 pins per side.
The spindle is a forged heat-treated 4140 chromoly spindle, 8mm Allen, for easy installation/removal. It has three high-grade sealed cartridge Enduro Bearings per pedal and one Igus bushing per pedal. Praxis’s newest mountain bike pedals are available in four different colors: black, Silver, Aqua, and orange (Red Later).
