SHIMANO XT crankset FC-M8150 optimised for STEPS E-MTB

The SHIMANO XT FC-M8150 crank is basically part of the STEPS EP8 drive system and has been optimised accordingly. For example, a Q-factor of only 177mm has been realised in combination with the DU-EP800 motor. Furthermore, the black anodised crank fits seamlessly, without spacers and elegantly into the overall system.

Developed for E-MTBs, the crank is extremely torsion-resistant and robust yet lightweight thanks to the Hollowtech II construction. The result is an aesthetic aluminium crank that offers optimal power transmission. It is available in lengths from 160mm to 175mm.

Hollowtech II - hollow forged cranks
Lightweight cranks reduce the overall weight of the bike and especially the rotating mass that is crucial for acceleration. The challenge is to reduce the weight of the crank without compromising stability and load capacity. SHIMANO's state-of-the-art forging technology offers an ideal solution with the HOLLOWTECH crank. Just like a high-quality frame tube, the hollow-arm crank is enormously stable and resilient at a very low weight.
