To compete with other bikers on the road or on the trails, there is an even greater need to have a bike that is lighter and still built to perform. With the weight of every component contributing to a bike’s weight even cranksets are becoming lighter, so it doesn’t just stop with lighter wheels and frames any more. Shimano designed the XTR FC-M970 crankset with minimal weight and increased shifting performance and durability due to the Titanium/Carbon composite chainring for reduced weight that maintains rigidity. If you’re in need of helping your bike lose a little more weight to increase its performance, then you’ll want to buy this Shimano XTR FC-M970 Crankset
