Shimano FC-MT700-2 Hollowtech II Crankset

The FC-MT700-2 crankset by Shimano - An inexpensive alternative to XT

With the FC-M7000-2 crankset, Shimano presents a cost-effective alternative to the XT 11-speed cranks that does not belong to any groupset, but features the same efficient and precise shifting performance. In accordance with the " Rider Tuned" principle, every cross country, all mountain or touring cyclist will find the right set-up. The FC-M7000-2 aluminium crank is designed according to the Hollowtech II standard, which provides a balanced ratio of stiffness and weight. Both available gradations (24-34 and 26-36) are geared towards consistent pedalling rhythm and thus maximised drive efficiency (Dyna-Sys11 technology).

Technology:

Dyna-Sys11
Dyna-Sys11 is the name of the 11-speed shifting system for MTBs from Shimano. The focus lies on maintaining the pedalling rhythm both on flat ground and on uphill segments. The gear ratios are selected so that you make efficient progress in the most frequently used gear range and do not have to shift gears as much (" Rhythm Step" ).

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.
