Shimano SLX M7100 12 Speed Crankset

Rigid and lightweight, this high-quality model is optimised for dominating your way around the mountain. Its MTB engineered tooth profile improves chain engagement and retention when riding over rough terrain conditions, so you can enjoy a more efficient and controlled ride. Furthermore, its hollow forged crank arms maximise your power transfer while also keeping your overall drivetrain weight low. Packed with some of the best Shimano technologies available, this affordable 12 speed model is a perfect solution for tackling everything a long day on the trails has to offer.

Technologies:

Dynamic Chain Engagement+: Dynamic Chain Engagement+ is a special gear tooth profile designed for use in single-chainring configurations for XC, enduro, and trail riding. It gives more chain retention and smoother pedalling - even over bumpy terrain. Chain retention of any gear will reduce abrasion and worn out.

Hollowtech II: Providing the best balance of stiffness, strength, weight and rotating performance. The concept of Hollowtech II technology is focused on producing a superior crankset which will maximize a rider’s power transfer. The rigidity of the crankset ensures pedalling efficiency while its weight, a key element of the crankset, you want light, aids in cycling longer distances over which the rider needs to pedal more. Naturally, Shimano strove for the optimum balance between the conflicting needs of stiffness while producing a lightweight crank. Hollowtech technology is an ultra-lightweight hollow crankarm created by Shimano with the company’s own proprietary forging technology that also maintains rigidity. The addition of Hollowtech II technology integrates the bottom bracket axle with the right crankarm for more stiffness and weight savings to achieve a high-dimensional balance. Its outboard bottom bracket bearing system provides better weight distribution and more pedalling stability, allowing for more efficient power transfer. The Hollowtech II crankset has been developed by pursuing the optimum balance of stiffness & rotating performance in a lightweight and beautiful crankset design. Moreover, Hollowtech II crankset has a high-precision sealing in the bearing area to increase durability maintaining the excellent rotating performance for long periods.
