Shimano CUES FC-U6000-2B Crankset

Shimano CUES FC-U6000-2B - High-quality 2-piece crank with two chainrings for Boost over locknut dimension

The CUES crankset FC-U6000-2B was designed by Shimano for Linkglide drivetrains for sporty MTB and touring use. It is suitable for 2x9-speed, 2x10-speed and 2x11-speed derailleurs and produces a chainline of 51.8 mm further out. This is why frames with the so-called Boost Standard, i.e. an over locknut dimension of 148 mm, are compatible. The Q-factor is 180 mm. The 2-piece design of the crank provides an optimal stiffness-to-weight ratio and improves power transfer. The gradation is chosen so that it can be pedalled harmoniously and smoothly on different types of terrain. The crank arms and spider are made of aluminium; the chainrings are made of steel.

Technology:

2-Piece Crankset
With the 2-piece designed cranks from Shimano, the right crank arm is precisely matched to the interaction with the bottom bracket. This increases the stiffness and keeps the weight low. Further spaced bearings also improve strength and contribute to more pedalling efficiency. The precision manufacturing of the bearings ensures easy installation and low maintenance. 2-Piece cranks share a 24mm axle diameter with Hollowtech II cranks, so they are also compatible with Hollowtech II bottom brackets.
