The Shimano XTR M970 Chainset is the top of the range MTB Chainset, designed to be the ultimate mountain bike race chainset.

Key Features of the Shimano XTR M970 Chainset:

• Class-leading XTR chainset, integrating the bottom bracket and chainset into a strong, rigid, yet lightweight unit
• Integrated design makes installation and adjustments easier than ever
• Precision bottom bracket bearings are spaced further apart, and are therefore more stable and longer lasting than conventional bottom brackets

• Silver crank arm face for lasting good looks
• Easy to use splined Octalink bottom bracket spindle connection provides a rigid and secure interface between crank and spindle
• The middle chainring is made of titanium supported in a carbon shell which combine to produce a hard-wearing, light weight, and stiff set up

• Conventional 104 / 64 PCD four-arm chainrings
• For use with Super Narrow HG chain
• Average weight 747 grams (175 mm including BB)
