More Details

The Shimano DEORE Front Chainwheel FC-M4100-2 (175mm crank arm length, 36-26T chainrings) represents a refined engineering solution tailored for mountain bikers who prioritize precision, durability, and optimal performance within a 10-speed drivetrain configuration. This 2-piece crankset is meticulously designed to offer a broad gear range suitable for tackling diverse terrain challenges, combining aggressive climbing capacity with fast, efficient pedaling on flats and descents.

Constructed with Shimano’s proven manufacturing excellence, the FC-M4100-2 employs high-strength materials and precision machining to deliver superior stiffness-to-weight ratio—ensuring the crankset withstands the rigors of demanding off-road conditions without compromising responsiveness or rider comfort. Its 175mm crank arms cater to riders requiring increased leverage for powerful pedaling strokes, making it ideal for taller cyclists or those engaged in aggressive riding styles.

The dual chainring setup, consisting of a 36-tooth outer ring and a 26-tooth inner ring, provides an excellent balance between cadence control and torque delivery. The larger chainring supports high-speed riding and rapid acceleration on flat or rolling terrain, while the smaller inner ring makes climbing steep gradients more manageable by lowering gear ratios and reducing rider fatigue.

Designed without a chain guard (W/O CG) and bottom bracket parts (W/O BB), this crankset allows customization and ease of integration into existing bike builds. Note that it is not compatible with chain cases, a detail important for riders considering protective accessories.

Optimized for a chain line of 48.8mm, the FC-M4100-2 ensures precise chain alignment, which is critical for smooth shifting performance and drivetrain longevity. The crankset fully integrates with Shimano’s HyperGlide 10-speed drivetrain technology, renowned for rapid, reliable gear transitions even under load, enabling cyclists to maintain momentum and control in technical conditions.

Installation is simplified by the inclusion of crank fixing bolts and standardized interfaces, allowing mechanics and DIY riders alike to mount and service the crankset with confidence. Its individual packaging ensures product protection and ease of distribution.

The Shimano DEORE FC-M4100-2 is an outstanding component for riders upgrading from entry-level systems or replacing worn parts, offering an impressive combination of strength, reliability, and efficiency at a competitive price point. Whether used for cross-country racing, trail riding, or general mountain biking, this front chainwheel delivers the performance attributes that serious cyclists demand—durability, smoothness, and adaptable gearing—making it a cornerstone of a well-rounded 10-speed drivetrain setup.
