Track riders exert more power, accelerate faster and achieve higher speeds. All strong arguments for stiffer/lighter/more aero. I'm pretty sure that track crank design has remained static for so long is a combination of the very small market and the fact that cranks are pretty much the most marginal component in terms of the gains available. I'm also pretty sure that the Royce crank will not be a material improvement on the current standard products, i.e. Record/DA/S75.
