SHIMANO Deore XT M8100 Hollowtech II crankset

In 2019, the best-selling groupset of the Japanese component manufacturer, Deore XT, follows the example of SHIMANO’s XTR group that was already equipped with 12 sprockets back in 2018.As a high-end groupset for everyone, the XT is becoming increasingly popular.As is typical for SHIMANO, the crank arms of the XT FC-M8100 Hollowtech II double speed crankset are made from hollow forged aluminium; and just like the XTR crankset, it comes without a spider to offer high stiffness values and low weight.To secure the chainrings to the 12-speed XT crankset, SHIMANO uses their own Direct Mount standard with BB lockring.The small chainring is simple fitted to the spider arms of the larger ring.Thanks to the chainrings with 26 and 36 teeth, you get the perfect drivetrain system for long distances and steep climbs in combination with a Shimano XT CS-M8100 12-speed 10-45 cassette.The optimised 4-arm chainrings with DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ (DCE+) even securely keep the chain on the rings during small jumps and on rough terrain.
