Shimano Tiagra 48/34T Crankset 170mm

The Shimano Tiagra R460 10-Speed Crankset is designed for riders seeking reliable performance at an entry-level price point without sacrificing quality. Ideal for road cycling enthusiasts and daily commuters alike, this double-chainring system combines lightweight efficiency with rugged durability to elevate your riding experience.

Crafted from high-quality aluminum with a sleek black finish, this crankset features an integrated 24mm axle that minimizes weight while maximizing stiffness—ensuring every pedal stroke translates into smooth power delivery on long commutes or spirited weekend rides. Its 43.5mm chainline and 110mm BCD deliver precise gear alignment compatible with standard 130mm hubs or disc-specific 135/142mm setups (with chainstay lengths exceeding 415mm). The 48/34T chainring pairing offers a versatile gear range for conquering hills or maintaining speed on flat terrain.

Designed for Shimano Hollowtech II spindle systems (9/16″ pedal spindle), this crankset accommodates 170mm crank arms—perfect for riders building budget-friendly road bikes or upgrading existing setups. While not including a bottom bracket (BB), its modular design simplifies installation into frames requiring precise drivetrain setups.
