With a wide range for comfortable riding from pavement to steep mountains, the SHIMANO FC-MT500-3 crank uses a 2-piece construction and replaceable chainrings for lasting performance.
HG-X Chain
Further evolution of shifting performance A directional mountain bike specific 10-speed HG-X chain means smoother shifts, lighter weight and greater overall performance. HG-X directional chain: Outer side is optimized for front shifting and inner side is optimized for rear shifting.
SHIMANO’s next generation 10-speed MTB drivetrain SHIMANO presents the drivetrain technology for mountain bikes: DYNA-SYS. This revolutionary technology uses a 10-speed cassette, but that is not the only feature of this system. Highlight is a completely redesigned drivetrain that creates real added benefits for the rider.
It’s not only an extra gear… It’s about closer gear ratios for a smoother shifting performance and improved power transfer It’s about riding optimized gear combinations that improve efficiency and durability It’s all about performance: DYNA-SYS offers a more stable drivetrain for any type of rider!
Inherently Efficient
A wider-range 11-36T 10-speed HG cassette means riders can spend more time in their Primary Driving Gear—the 32-tooth ring. Traditionally, triple-ring riders have had to get used to making two to three recovery shifts in the back every time they drop into the 22T granny. With DYNA-SYS, it’s just one recovery shift, and it’s needed less often. Shifting is smoother and faster thanks to CloseStep gear ratios—42-32-24. Getting from the 24-tooth ring back into the Primary Driving Gear—the middle ring—is easier and more intuitive. And a more manageable 42-tooth big-ring is also easier to get into, which means riders will use it more. DYNA-SYS technology makes the shifting transitions seamless, enabling riders to deliver consistent, efficient power while maintaining traction and momentum.
