Performance & Engineering:

Designed specifically for demanding gravel adventures and road cycling, this crankset excels in power transfer and chain retention.

Compatible with 9, 10, and 11-speed chains, including LINKGLIDE and HG series, the FC-U6040-1 offers seamless shifting and compatibility with modern drivetrain systems. The Hollowtech II spindle interface guarantees a stiff and secure connection to your bottom bracket (sold separately, compatible with BB-RS501 or BB-RS500-PB). The crankset's 152mm Q-factor provides a natural pedaling stance, reducing fatigue during long rides.

Style & Use Case:

Featuring a sleek black finish, this crankset complements any gravel or road bike aesthetic. Its versatile design suits riders tackling varied terrain, from gravel trails to asphalt roads, making it ideal for adventure cycling, endurance rides, and daily commuting.
