Description
The Shimano Tiagra FC-4700 Crankset is engineered to deliver precision and performance for road cyclists seeking a balance of efficiency and affordability. Designed with a lightweight aluminum frame and an anodized finish for durability, this crankset combines strength with reduced weight to maximize power transfer during every ride. Its integrated 24mm axle system enhances stiffness while minimizing rotational mass, making it ideal for sprinting or climbing on demanding routes.
Key Features:
– Optimized Geometry: A 43.5mm chainline ensures seamless synchronization with modern 10-speed drivetrains, while the asymmetric design improves chain stability on disc brake road bikes.
– Versatile Compatibility: Works flawlessly with standard 130mm hubs and larger disc-specific setups (135/142mm) on frames with over 415mm chainstays, offering flexibility for various bike builds.
– Efficient Double Chainring Setup: The 52/36T configuration provides a wide gear range for tackling varied terrain—from steep ascents to high-speed descents—without compromising shifting precision.
– Pedal Ready: Equipped with a reliable 9/16″ spindle interface compatible with Shimano Hollowtech II pedals (BB sold separately), ensuring smooth integration into your existing setup.
For Whom?
Whether you’re racing weekend gran fondos or logging miles on endurance rides, this crankset delivers responsive handling and reliability for serious road cyclists who demand quality without breaking the bank. Its compact Q-factor (150mm) reduces knee strain during long rides while maintaining efficient pedaling mechanics.
