RS1 I would say.. due to round heads around pedal threads

I've been told mine are RS2's if thats any help

The circular finish around the pedal threads on the first one makes them look like RS1s.

Thanks all. Does anyone know the year they were released?

I ordered my Rhino cranks on launch still have them. They took a while to arrive as there was a waiting list.

But I did use them at the Coed y Brenin XC race in Summer 93.

so whats the deal with the Rhino ones ot of interest, never seen a set myself. were they the DH equivalent or something. Whats the difference between rhino and non rhino?

They were just called Rhinos before they changed name to RS1.

Don't know why.
