Shimano XTR XC Crankset

The HOLLOWTECH II process uses cold hammer hollow-forging to create a crank arm that is both exceptionally rigid and lightweight. This design maximizes power transfer during hard pedaling efforts without adding unnecessary weight to your bike.

This crankset features a 55 mm chain line, which is designed for modern boost-spaced frames. It is compatible with both Shimano Threaded and Press Fit bottom brackets, making it a versatile choice for most contemporary XC setups.

The Q Factor refers to the distance between the crank arms. An XC-optimized Q Factor provides a narrower, more efficient stance that mimics the feel of a traditional race bike, helping you maintain a natural pedaling position for long, high-intensity efforts.

No, the bottom bracket is sold separately. However, because it uses a standard 24 mm spindle, it is compatible with a wide range of Shimano Threaded and Press Fit bottom brackets.

While it is engineered specifically for the demands of XC racing, its durability and stiffness make it a great choice for aggressive trail riding as well. It is built to handle the rigors of competitive riding, so it will easily withstand the stresses of daily trail use.
