Shimano FC-MT500-3 Crankset

The Shimano FC-MT500-3 Crankset - Gradation for a wide spectrum of use

The FC-MT500-3 from Shimano is a groupless crank on Deore level with three chainrings for city & touring as well as mountain bikes with 10-speed shifting. Due to its wide but narrowly set gradation of 22-30-40 teeth, it is just as suitable for tours over steep mountains as for relaxed excursions on paved roads. Thanks to the 2-piece design, the crank also scores with stiffness, power transmission efficiency and durability. The high-quality appearance is also impressive. The crank arms and the large chainring are made of lightweight aluminium, the other two chainrings are made of steel. They have a symmetrical bolt circle diameter of 96/64 mm and are mounted via a 4-arm spider.

Technology:

2-Piece Crankset
With the 2-piece designed cranks from Shimano, the right crank arm is precisely matched to the interaction with the bottom bracket. This increases the stiffness and keeps the weight low. Further spaced bearings also improve strength and contribute to more pedalling efficiency. The precision manufacturing of the bearings ensures easy installation and low maintenance. 2-Piece cranks share a 24mm axle diameter with Hollowtech II cranks, so they are also compatible with Hollowtech II bottom brackets.
