Description
For your riding freedom: the Gravel GRX 1×12-speed FC-RX820-1 crankset 42 teeth from Shimano
The SHIMANO FC-RX820-1 crankset combines durability, low weight, protection against mud and numerous gear ratio options to meet the different riding requirements of mixed terrain. By combining a 10-45 or 10-51 cassette with 40-, 42-, 44- and 46-tooth chainrings, there is plenty of choice between narrower gear steps or an ultimate range. The FC-RX820-1 is available with crank arm lengths of 160, 165, 170, 172.5 and 175 mm, offering fit options for riders of all sizes.
Both 1×12 options use Micro Spline, Shimano’s lightweight aluminium freehub design that pairs seamlessly with a small 10-tooth sprocket and features smaller, more widely spaced teeth to reduce sprocket wear. The 1×12 gravel crankset is offered in three crank arm lengths, so you can choose the ideal Shimano GRX setup for your needs and riding style.
