The SRAM FC-S200 crankset is engineered for mountain biking enthusiasts who demand a durable and efficient drivetrain component capable of handling diverse terrains. With a triple chainring configuration of 42, 32, and 22 teeth, it provides a wide gear range that helps riders conquer steep climbs, navigate technical trails, and maintain speed on flats and descents.
Technical Specifications:
Chainrings: Triple (42T outer, 32T middle, 22T inner)
Crank Arm Length: 170mm
Material: Forged aluminum crank arms with steel chainrings for enhanced wear resistance
Crank Interface: Square taper bottom bracket
Compatibility: SRAM 9-speed drivetrains
BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter): Standard SRAM 104/64mm
Finish: Black anodized coating for corrosion resistance
Chain Compatibility: SRAM 9-speed chains
Performance & Design Features:
The triple chainring setup provides a versatile gear range that suits various riding conditions. The smallest ring, with 22 teeth, facilitates climbing steep gradients by reducing pedaling effort, while the largest 42-tooth ring enables higher speeds on flat or downhill terrain. The middle 32T ring offers an efficient transition gear, balancing cadence and power output.
The 170mm crank arms offer a balanced leverage ratio that accommodates a wide range of riders, optimizing pedaling efficiency and power transfer. Forged aluminum crank arms ensure structural rigidity and light weight, while steel chainrings provide durability against the rigors of off-road riding, including exposure to mud, grit, and chain wear.
SRAM’s precise tooth profiling and chainring spacing enhance front shifting performance, minimizing chain drops and promoting smooth transitions between gears.
Durability & Integration:
Designed to withstand the harsh conditions of mountain biking, the FC-S200 crankset features corrosion-resistant black anodized finish and robust materials. Its square taper bottom bracket interface allows compatibility with a broad range of bottom brackets, making it suitable for upgrades or replacements.
Use Cases:
Ideal for cross-country, trail, and recreational mountain biking, this crankset suits riders seeking a dependable, versatile, and ergonomic component for their 9-speed SRAM drivetrain setup.
