Shimano XTR FC-M9125 12-Speed Crankset
- In stock On the shelf in our own warehouse. Order before 2pm and it is despatched the same working day; bikes we build are built, safety-checked and despatched in 2-3 working days.
- In stock with our supplier Not on our shelves, but our supplier has it or it is already on its way to us. We bring it in as soon as you order, and the despatch estimate shown allows for that.
- Out of stock Neither we nor our supplier has it right now. Where a date is shown, more is on order and you can order now to secure one from that delivery.
- Stock to be confirmed Not on our shelves, and our supplier does not send us stock figures for it, so we cannot say how soon we could get one. Use "Check availability" and we will ask them and email you back.

About Shimano
Shimano is a Japanese multinational corporation synonymous with cycling. Constituting 50% of sales in the global cycling market, and with their parts spanning across all types of bicycle, it is a highly reputable business that is constantly developing and innovating its assets.
Details
Class-leading XTR 12-speed crank set, integrating the bottom bracket and crank set into a strong, rigid, yet lightweight unit.
XTR FC-M9125-1 crank features an entirely new construction, using direct mount chainrings, a special gear tooth profile for improved chain retention, and 174 mm Q-factor. The FC-M9125-1 uses a 55 mm chain line and is compatible with 32T and 34T chainrings available.
Technology
HollowTech II
Providing the best balance of stiffness, strength, weight and rotating performance. The concept of HollowTech II technology is focused on producing a superior crankset which will maximize a rider’s power transfer. The rigidity of the crankset ensures pedaling efficiency while its weight, a key element of the crankset, you want light, aids in cycling longer distances over which the rider needs to pedal more. Naturally, Shimano strove for the optimum balance between the conflicting needs of stiffness while producing a lightweight crank. HollowTech technology is an ultra-lightweight hollow crankarm created by Shimano with the company’s own proprietary forging technology that also maintains rigidity. The addition of HollowTech II technology integrates the bottom bracket axle with the right crankarm for more stiffness and a weight savings to achieve a high-dimensional balance. Its outboard bottom bracket bearing system provides better weight distribution and more pedaling stability, allowing for more efficient power transfer.
The HollowTech II crankset has been developed by pursuing the optimum balance of stiffness & rotating performance in a lightweight and beautiful crankset design. Moreover, HollowTech II crankset has a high-precision sealing in the bearing area to increase durability maintaining the excellent rotating performance for long periods.
24mm Diameter Axle And Bearings
Why choose the 24mm axle and bearings for the HollowTech II crankset?
The diameter of the Bottom Bracket axle and bearings was of primary importance for the development because the Bottom Bracket axle area is tied to such key elements as stiffness, strength, weight and rotating performance.
What’s important is the total balance of crankset
In addition, taking the crankset as a whole, the total balance of crankarm rigidity, axle stiffness, bearing position and others is essential. Indeed, the crankset is designed by careful consideration of the total balance of those elements to prevent breakage.
Outboard Bearing
For most frames with 68mm Bottom Bracket shells, HollowTech II with 24mm axle can set the bearing position outside of the frame to provide better weight distribution and more stability.
24mm Diameter Axle And Bearings Provide Optimum Balance For The Crankset
After studying all these problems thoroughly, we made the decision to adopt the 24mm diameter axle and bearings, which have the optimum balance, for the HollowTech II crankset.
In addition, an examination of the total crankset, including the crankarm and gears, proves the optimum balance of rigidity, weight and rotating performance for the ultimate transfer of power to your bike. HollowTech II is simply the most optimized crankset design on the market.
