SHIMANO FC-RS200 8-Speed Road Crankset 50/34T

Elevate your road cycling experience with the SHIMANO FC-RS200 crankset, a cornerstone of the reliable and accessible SHIMANO CLARIS R2000 series. Engineered for aspiring road cyclists, commuters, and recreational riders, this crankset delivers the smooth performance and durability that Shimano is known for, all in a stylish and affordable package. It is the perfect upgrade or replacement part for any bike equipped with an 8-speed drivetrain, providing a significant boost in efficiency and shifting quality.

Key Benefits:

The FC-RS200 is designed to make your ride more enjoyable and efficient. Its primary benefit lies in the versatile "compact" gearing. The 50/34T chainring combination offers the perfect blend of gearing for varied terrain. You can confidently tackle steep climbs and challenging hills with the smaller 34-tooth inner ring, while the larger 50-tooth outer ring allows you to maintain high speeds on flat roads and descents. This setup provides a wide gear range without the complexity of a triple crankset. Furthermore, the crankset is engineered for smooth and precise front shifting, ensuring quick and reliable gear changes when you need them most, allowing you to focus on the road ahead. Its robust construction guarantees long-lasting performance, making it an ideal choice for daily commuting, long-distance touring, or spirited weekend rides.

Main Features:

This crankset is packed with features designed for optimal performance in road cycling applications. It operates as a 2-speed crankset, perfectly matched for 8-speed rear cassettes, creating a versatile 2x8 speed drivetrain. The design incorporates an efficient power transfer from the rider to the road. The clean, two-tone black finish adds a touch of modern style to any bicycle frame. This model utilizes a classic and widely compatible square taper bottom bracket interface, ensuring easy installation and maintenance. This specific product is a complete crankset from the ´Sets´ category, including both the left and right crank arms with pre-installed chainrings.

This item is supplied in a mod.17 self-service package, making it convenient for home mechanics and bike shop repairs. Please note that the required square taper bottom bracket is not included with this crankset and must be purchased separately to match your frame´s specifications.
