While the trend lately has been to take chainrings away from MTB cranksets, there are still plenty of riders who love the utility and gearing range offered by a triple crankset. The all-new Deore XT M8000 Hollowtech II crankset is features an all-new 11-speed design that gives you the power to choose how and where you ride. A 3×11 drivetrain will give you 33 possible gearing combinations, so there is truly no terrain that will hold you back. The XT M8000 crankset feature new 3D composite teeth that are optimized for each chainrings specific torque load while pedaling, making them more durable and stronger, while still being thinner and lighter than previous versions. The new crankset design utilizes Shimano’s new 4-arm crank design found in both their road groupsets and the pro-level XTR 9000 cranks, which maximizes rigidity, for smoother shifts and more efficient power transfer. The chainring gearing options also keep the ratios loose, for a minimal shifting gap with no large leaps in gearing–making it easier to maintain your cadence and keep your rhythm out on the trail.

Features:

• All new design is more rigid and efficient
• Triple crankset removes any limits from your riding
• New composite chainring teeth are stronger and more durable
• Loose ratio gearing for smaller jumps between gears
• Improved seals and bearings for more efficient pedaling
• Optimal balance of durability and lightweight
