Hollowtech II
What matters is the overall balance of the crankset. With regard to the entire crankset, an optimum ratio between the strength of the crank arms, the stiffness of the axle, the bearing position and other features is very important. During the development of the crankset, the overall balance of all individual elements was carefully considered in order to ensure maximum stability.
Outer bearing: On most 68 mm bottom bracket housings, the Hollowtech II 24 mm axle can be mounted outside the frame for better weight distribution and stability.
High-quality precision seals: The Hollowtech II set also features high quality precision seals in the bearing area to extend durability and maintain excellent rotation efficiency over time.
The axle and the 24 mm diameter bearings ensure optimum balance of the crankset and optimum transmission of power to the bicycle.
Overall rating: 5.0 / 5 from 7 reviews.

"The XT 12 speed crank allowed me to use a larger chainring on my XC bike and with an uncomplicated install utilizing the direct mount. Shimano is simple but unbeatable in my book. Cambria Bike was flawless in their processing of my order and delivered much earlier than I expected. Thank you Cambria. You’ve got yourself a repeat customer!!"
"Easy installation. 165 is great for reducing rock strikes."
"Arrived ahead of schedule and new in box. Waiting for dust cap removal tool to replace and ride!"
"Love these things. Beautiful, reliable, and they don't break the bank."
"Purchased this hard to find Shimano XT M8100 crankset from Cambria bike who had it in stock and shipped it same day. This was the final piece to complete my XT upgrade and is the best overall choice for longevity and weight."
"Light and strong, nice fit in the bottom bracket and installation was a snap. Thought it came with the tool for attaching the lock ring for the sprocket, but it did not, local bike shop had one and did it for me with the sprocket I purchased separately. So far so good."
"Netter design than previous xt models. Direct mount saves weight also. At the price point it leaves $ in your pocket, compared to fancier carbon cranks to upgrade more important parts, like wheels, i.e rotating mass."
