A crankshaft for an internal combustion engine comprises at least five main journals aligned on a crankshaft axis of rotation and at least eight crankpins, each of the crankpins being disposed about a respective crankpin axis and positioned between the main journals. Each of the respective crankpin axes is oriented parallel to, and spaced radially from, the crankshaft axis of rotation. Each of the crankpins is joined to a pair of crank arms for force transmission between each of the crankpins and the respective crank arms. Each crank arm is joined to a respective main journal for transmitting torque between the crank arm and the main journal. At least four of the crankpins are spaced radially a first semi-stroke distance from the crankshaft axis of rotation, and at least four remaining crankpins are spaced radially a second semi-stroke distance from the crankshaft axis of rotation.
