ShimanoDeore XT FC-M8100-2 Crankset(Return to Product Page)

Rebuilt my Kona Explosif drivetrain two months ago with 2x11 XT, including cranks, shifters, rear derailleur, and cassette. Moved from 3x9 XT. These 12sp cranks are super solid, light, and the 26T-36T cover everything I need with an 11-40T cassette. I went with 12sp cranks in case I wanted to move up to 2x12, but in the meantime, I'm enjoying the crisp shifting and buttery drivetrain! A steal on closeout (below $100).

I've been rebuilding the drivetrain on my surly ECR., which I use for daily commutes trail riding and bikepacking. The original 5-arm crank was difficult to find decent chainrings that would mount on the old surly crank. The new crank holds the chain great with no slip, even though I'm running with a 9 in back at the moment. I've bashed around with it pretty extensively for the last 3 months and it shift easily and grabs the chain quickly with no slip. Highly recommend.
