The Shimano XT M8120 series cranks are built to handle everything you can throw at them. By utilising Hollowtech II technology Shimano is able to keep the weight down, while still creating a rigid crank arm capable of handling some seriously aggressive trail riding.

The M8120 cranks are compatible with Boost frames only. Check out the M8100 cranks for the non-Boost compatible version.
