Shimano XT Cranks M770

For dependable performance, it's hard to go past Deore XT. With lightweight HollowTech crank arms and the latest SG-X chainrings, you won't find a better performing crankset for the monies. Year after year, Shimano mountain bike parts have once again proven they are amoungst the worlds best. Shimano XT cranks address the needs of today's riders just like it did when it was first introduced back in 1982 as the world's first MTB group. Continuing off from the successful XT cranks of old, the new versions manage to squeeze out more stiffness whilst still reducing the weight. Aside from the polished finish, the other difference you'll notice over the SLX cranks is the beefy outer chainring that increases stiffness and shifting performance to an unbelievable level. The HollowTech II design continues, with the driveside crankarm being permanently attached to the steel axle for maximum strength, while the external bottom bracket gets updated sealed cartidge bearings and better sealing for longer bearing life.

Shimano's XT chainrings continue to set the benchmark in the industry for shifting performance and use a standard 4-Bolt pattern for easy replacement. The composite middle chainring increases stiffness over aluminum chainrings and uses steel teeth for better durability too. If you want the best shifting around, this is it.
