>Everything is literally identical, even the crank nut
Squint harder. Everything is similar but literally different.
The taper of the spider arms, the curve of the cranks, the bevels of the chainring, the profile of the chainring teeth.
All the shapes are slightly different … of course with the intention of ripping off the SRAM design, but they’re not identical.
And that’s before we get to the invisible stuff that makes a crank good or bad: alloy composition, forging process, machining precision that determines whether the chainring is concentric and straight or not, heat treatment that determines strength and lifespan, finish durability, etc.
Not that I know there’s anything wrong with the Ardently cranks, but they’re clearly not Omniums. And even if they were, Omniums are sought after for intangible reasons by this stage of the game.

Check out other ardently products, they notorious for being a copy but they’re Chinese(or taiwanese idk) factory made, it shouldn’t be that bad I guess

they look decent on the shop page but the arms of the spider are super thick on the back? there might be clearance issues on frames with wider chainstays
