Shimano Alivio Triple Crankset for Urban Commuting
Built for riders prioritizing reliability in daily commutes, this triple crankset combines Shimano’s signature smoothness with rugged construction. The Hyperglide chainring design features precision-molded shift ramps and asymmetrical tooth profiles to minimize chain slap and ensure crisp gear changes—ideal for stop-and-go city riding or unpredictable weather conditions.
Key Specifications:
– Gear Range: 48/36/26T chainrings paired with a 9-speed cassette for versatile cadence control on flat roads or hilly routes
– Compatibility: Optimized for 135mm/142mm MTB rear hubs; Hollowtech II spindle ensures easy BB replacement
– Weight Efficiency: Two-piece aluminum crank arms (175mm) maintain a lightweight profile (1,200g/set) without compromising strength
– Urban Focus: Matte black finish resists brake dust buildup; sealed bearing design reduces maintenance for frequent riders
Why This Crankset?

The proprietary BCD combination (104mm outer/middle rings + compact 64mm inner) offers smoother transitions than standard square-taper designs while retaining full compatibility with Shimano’s MTB component ecosystem.
