There are brands you stock because you “should,” and brands you bring in because you’d ride them no matter what. OVERFAST is firmly in the second group.
Overfast builds ultralight, aggressively engineered components: carbon thru-axles starting around 30–31g per pair, saving up to 100g over stock hardware without compromising function or safety. Aero carbon cranksets that smooth airflow across the drivetrain while staying in the same weight conversation as top-tier race arms. Cranks that come in shorter lengths, modern standards (DUB and 24 mm), and weights in the low 300g range. This is equipment for riders who think about every marginal gain, but still care how the bike looks when it’s leaned against a café wall.
That mix—serious performance with a strong design point of view—is exactly why OVERFAST belongs at Oak.
Oak is built on a few simple pillars: family, racing, joy, and sophistication. Racing sharpens our judgment about what works and what doesn’t. Joy keeps us riding. Sophistication is our way of saying we prefer restraint and thoughtfulness over noise. OVERFAST sits right in the overlap: parts born from real R&D, proven under strong riders, but designed with a level of intent that goes beyond “just another crank.”
We’re not positioning OVERFAST as a discount upgrade. If you’re looking for the cheapest way to drop a few grams, there are other places to go. We’re bringing OVERFAST into our Concept Store because we respect what they’re trying to do: push the limits of what’s possible in cranks, axles, and drivetrain hardware, while keeping the end result elegant, minimal, and race-ready.
We’re also one of the few places in the world where you can get a focused selection of OVERFAST parts online—especially some of the more specific pieces like certain chainring options, which are much harder to find than their flagship thru-axles and aero cranks. That matters to us. Oak has always been about giving passionate riders access to the things we believe in, even if they take more effort to source.
When we choose what goes into the Oak Concept Store, we ask:
-
Would we recommend this to a close friend who cares deeply about their bike?
-
Does it stand up to the kind of riding we actually do—races, fast group rides, long days—not just lab numbers?
-
Does it express something about how we see cycling and design?
OVERFAST checks all three boxes. The numbers are there: weights, stiffness, aero thinking. The ride feel is there. And visually, these components sit comfortably next to what we’re building with Marca SL and the rest of Oak—they don’t fight the bike, they finish it.
So if you’re the kind of rider who notices the details, who likes the idea of a pair of thru-axles that weighs less than the average stock front axle alone, or a crankset that quietly pulls every line of the bike together while doing its job at the front of the race, Overfast is worth your attention.
We’re proud to have them in the Concept Store. And we’re even more excited to see where riders take them.
Disclaimer: we will only start selling their thru-axles when the Marca is released as we'll stock the correct size for the Marca itself.
