I rode a pair of SIXC 165mm cranks hard on my DH bike for two summers and I weigh 215lbs, no issues at all despite a few rough touch downs into rock gardens that had sparks flying off my pedals. Hard to say if there's a performance benefit, they felt the same as the Saint cranks on my previous bike. Maybe they are a touch stiffer than the Turbines on my trail bike but maybe that's because those are 175mm.
