Microshift Sword Crankset
Best durable drivetrain upgrade for budget conscious gravel cyclists.
This crankset is built for the rider who treats steep climbs as a challenge rather than a chore. By prioritizing a massive gear range over tight spacing, it sacrifices smooth cadence transitions for the raw mechanical advantage needed to conquer any ascent. It’s a pragmatic, adaptable workhorse for long-distance gravel adventures.
