Shimano Dura-Ace FC-R9100 Crank Set 2x11 52-36 Teeth black

The new Dura Ace from Shimano is answers the question of many pros and ambitious amateurs as to whether and how the current, immensely high level of performance could be further increased. Each individual Dura Ace R9100 component is designed to work as efficiently as possible with all other components of the system. This shows the core of Shimano's component-developed-as-a-system philosophy particularly clearly. The result is called SYSTEM SUPREMACY - the superiority of the system over the sum of the individual parts.The R9100 series enables optimum power transmission. This is achieved by its wider HOLLOWTECH II arm and a reinforced outer chainring on its unique four-arm asymmetric spider construction. The new R9100 cranks meet the highest standards in terms of stiffness and lightness.

HOLLOWGLIDE - Hollow technology on outer chainring
High rigidity hollow structure cuts down on weight yet maintains strength. Better power transfer and quicker and more precise front shifting.

HOLLOWTECH Crank Arm - Hollow forged crank arms
A lightweight crankset not only reduces the bike’s weight, but decreases rotating mass to aid in acceleration. The challenge is to reduce the weight of the crank without reducing its strength and rigidity. SHIMANO’s advanced forging technology has solved the problem through the HOLLOWTECH crank. Just like high quality frame tubing, a hollow crank arm can provide amazing strength and rigidity at very lightweight.

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. High Precision Sealing Moreover, HOLLOWTECH II crankset has a high-precision sealing in the bearing area to increase durability maintaining the excellent rotating performance for long periods.
