Shimano SLX M7130 Bike Crankset 165mm – Durable MTB Cranks

The Shimano SLX FC-M7130 Crankset is engineered to deliver uncompromising performance for mountain bikers seeking a lightweight yet robust drivetrain solution. Designed specifically for Super Boost+ hubs, this crankset combines the efficiency of a simplified 1x system with the responsive power transfer of Shimano’s renowned Hollowtech II technology. Whether you’re tackling technical trails or pushing through enduro stages, its rigid construction ensures every pedal stroke translates into smooth, powerful acceleration without sacrificing agility.

At the heart of this crankset is Shimano’s hollow-forged aluminum spindle, which strikes an optimal balance between stiffness for precise power delivery and lightweight design to reduce rotational mass. The 56.5mm chainline aligns perfectly with Super Boost+ spacing, offering enhanced stability on aggressive terrain while maintaining compatibility with modern mountain bike setups. With a Q-factor of 181mm, it provides a natural pedaling stance that minimizes knee strain during long rides, making it ideal for all-day adventures or competitive racing.

This FC-M7130 Crankset is built for riders prioritizing simplicity and reliability. The direct-mount chainring design eliminates compatibility headaches and streamlines maintenance—perfect for those who prefer a no-fuss approach to their build. While optimized for 12-speed drivetrains, it’s sold without chainrings or bottom brackets (BB), allowing customization to match your preferred components. Its sleek black finish complements any trail rig while resisting dirt buildup during demanding rides.
