The higher-tier one in their new gravel line is 48/31T. (WTF?)
They say that these new cranks change the chainline by 2.5mm, and that requires their new derailleur(s). (also, WTF?)
The chainline on the RX-600-11 is optimized for modern disc brake bikes with 142mm thru-axles. It's possible that this crankset will have chainline related cross-chaining issues if installed on a rim brake bike. The big-big combination would be problematic.
