Shimano Deore FC-M6000-2 Hollowtech II Crankset

Shimano Deore crankset FC-M6000-2 - an all-rounder with design updates

The Shimano Deore FC-M6000-2 crankset uses the Hollowtech II concept for the first time at Deore level, which ensures an optimal relationship between the strength of the crank arms, the stiffness of the axle and the weight. The aluminium crank has become slimmer compared to the predecessor model and is visually reminiscent of the SLX FC-M7000 introduced a year earlier. However, Deore FC-M6000-2 is still compatible with 10-speed derailleurs. The two chainrings sit on an asymmetric spider with 96/64 mm bolt circle diameter, which in turn has been adopted from the cranks of more expensive groupsets. The all-round Deore crankset is as solid a choice as ever for all types of MTBs from cross country to all mountain.

Technology:

Hollowtech II
Shimano Hollowtech II is a crank bottom bracket system designed to achieve an ideal ratio of stiffness, weight and rotational efficiency. It is based on an integration of the bottom bracket and the right crank arm and works with a 24 mm axle or bearing diameter, which has proven to be optimal in terms of stability. In many cases, the bearing cups are on the outside so that the load is better distributed. High-quality precision seals ensure a long service life.
