Shimano SLX FC-M7130-1 12-speed Crank without Chainring

The Shimano SLX FC-M7130 1x12-speed crank with 181 mm Q-factor, 56.5 mm chainline and 157 mm O.L.D stands for highest drive efficiency at low weight. It offers optimum power transmission and maximum speed for the new SLX system, which only use 1 chainring.

The mountain bike group that supports all adventurous riders: SLX 1x12-speed Crank FC-M7130-1 from Shimano

In addition to a new special 12-speed chain (CN-M7100) with the corresponding new 12-speed QUICK LINK lock, SHIMANO is also equipping the SLX M7100 with new cranksets for 12-speed (FC-M7100/7120/7130-1). Most of them use 1-speed systems and a range of chainrings (30T to 34T) is available.

The new SLX 1x12-speed cranks are characterised by DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ technology, whose special high-precision tooth profile ensures that the chain finds optimum grip on the upper part of the chainring on rough terrain, but detaches equally well from the chainring at the bottom, thus ensuring efficiency, smoothness and low noise of the drive. The cranks are equipped with a direct-mount system for quick and safe assembly of the chainrings, enabling chainrings to be changed in no time at all. The crank is available in boost and non-boost specifications.

After setting the benchmark in mountain bike components with SHIMANO XTR M9100 and new DEORE XT M8100, Shimano rounds out its now entirely 12-speed performance mountain bike component lines with new SLX M7100. SLX M7100 cascades technology from new XTR M9100 and DEORE XT M8100 - namely Shimano’s signature premium shifting and braking performance - while maintaining the SLX hallmark of value and durability.

Features - Shimano SLX FC-M7130-1 12-speed Crank

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 pedaling 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 a weight savings to achieve a high-dimensional balance. Its outboard bottom bracket bearing system provides better weight distribution and more pedaling 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. High Precision Sealing Moreover, HOLLOWTECH II crankset has a high-precision sealing in the bearing area to increase durability maintaining the excellent rotating performance for long periods.
