Shimano XTR FC-M9200 12-speed Crank without Chainring
The Shimano XTR FC-M9200 1 x 12-speed XC crankset with 168 mm Q-factor and 55 mm chainline is made for uncompromising racing use and represents a further development of the legendary HOLLOWTECH II hollow forging process from SHIMANO.
Robust, intuitive and consistent: XTR FC-M9200 12-speed Crankset from Shimano
It is stiff enough for optimum power transmission, available in lengths of 165-175 mm and compatible with SM-CRM96 chainrings in all sizes. The FC-M9200 fulfils all the requirements of a lightweight and reliable cross-country crankset and the new XTR crankset offers increased strength and reliability for world-class racing and touring.
The crankset is offered in two application-specific designs – one for weight savings FC-M9200 and the other for more robustness FC-M9220 – and uses SHIMANO’s proven hollow forging technology, which achieves a new balance between stiffness and weight while increasing impact resistance.
The pinnacle of MTB technology from SHIMANO. Developed for the demands of professional racing, the XTR is SHIMANO’s lightest component group and convinces with robustness and podium-proven performance. Whether XC or Enduro, the new XTR series has been developed to withstand tough trails and demanding tracks. Every single component gives you a secure feeling from start to finish. The wireless, robust drivetrain can also withstand hard knocks on the trail. Thanks to the intuitive controls, you can concentrate fully on the ride. With the even more stable and powerful braking system, you can always ride at your own pace.

Technologies
DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT
SPECIAL GEAR TEETH FUNCTION SHIMANO’s DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT is a special gear teeth profile designed for use in single-chainring configurations for XC, enduro, and trail riding. It gives more chain retention and smoother pedaling – even over bumpy terrain. Chain retention of any gear will reduce abrasion and worn out.
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.
