Shimano Deore XT M8130 Mountain Bike Crankset – New

The Shimano Deore XT FC-M8130 Crankset is engineered for mountain bikers chasing precision and performance on aggressive trails. Designed around Shimano’s Hollowtech II architecture, this lightweight yet rigid drivetrain component delivers unmatched power transfer during high-intensity rides while maintaining a minimal weight profile ideal for all-day adventures. Perfect for modern trail setups requiring Super Boost+ hub spacing (157mm), its 56.5mm chainline ensures seamless compatibility with wide-range cassettes and 12-speed systems, making it a top choice for technical terrain where responsiveness matters most.

This crankset prioritizes efficiency through its hollow-forged construction—maximizing stiffness under pedaling forces while shedding unnecessary grams—and a narrow 181mm Q-factor that reduces knee strain during prolonged rides. The direct-mount chainring interface (sold separately) simplifies setup for 1x drivetrains, offering clean aesthetics and reduced maintenance compared to traditional multi-ring setups. Whether carving switchbacks or powering through rocky ascents, its tapered 9/16″ spindle interface ensures rock-solid engagement with Hollowtech II bottom brackets (sold separately), translating every watt of effort into forward motion.

Built for riders demanding durability without compromise, the FC-M8130’s black finish withstands harsh conditions while maintaining a sleek aesthetic suited for enduro racing or rugged trail exploration. Its design excels in scenarios where weight savings meet uncompromising strength—ideal for riders tackling steep climbs before high-speed descents. Unlike bulkier competitors that sacrifice stiffness for affordability or add grams through excess material, this crankset balances performance metrics precisely for today’s high-torque eMTB and hardtail setups without compromising on lightness or reliability.

Key Advantages Over Competitors:
– Hollowtech II technology vs generic hollow crank arms: superior power transfer
– Direct-mount chainrings vs traditional bolt-on systems: lighter weight + easier installation
– Super Boost+ compatibility vs standard hubs: optimized tire clearance + improved stability

Whether you’re building a new build or upgrading an existing rig, the Shimano Deore XT FC-M8130 Crankset delivers cutting-edge engineering tailored to modern mountain biking’s demands—perfect for riders who refuse to choose between speed, strength, or style.
