As already stated, they are the exact same piece as a K1 crank. The only difference is the logo. Some may not know that K1 cranks are not manufactured by K1 themselves. The BPE cranks are aimed at the average racers budget. This is the part of the reason that I sell direct to the end user (no additional mark-up) and not to distributors. You will not find another crank of this quality at this price. Long story short, same quality....BETTER PRICE
