The little brother of
Shimano's high end road cranks has really come into its own in the most recent generation of
105 Cranks. Featuring Hollowtech II crankarms and Hyperglide ramped and pinned chainrings, it shifts nearly as well as the Ultegra or Dura-Ace cranks with just a bit of a weight increase. If you''re a beginning competitive road cyclist,
Shimano''s 105 is one of the best componentry lines money can buy, hands down.
- 7075 aluminum Hyperglide chainrings with ramps and pins
- Hollowtech II bottom bracket spindle and crank arms for increased stiffness and reduced weight
- Ultegra CN-6701 and 105 CN-5701 chains are recommended for use in conjunction with Ultegra 6700-G and 105 5700 cranksets
- Weighs in at 805g
