The FCU8000 CUES HollowTech II chainset from Shimano CUES is expertly designed for 11-speed cycling with a 175mm 46/32T configuration. This product forms part of Shimano's CUES range – a collection dedicated to offering superior compatibility, versatility, and durability for mid-grade cycling enthusiasts.

One of the standout features of this chainset is its incorporation of LINKGLIDE technology. Renowned for its impressive durability, LINKGLIDE technology has been proven to be 300% more robust than the current Hyperglide drivetrain, all while maintaining smooth shifting capabilities for a seamless ride.

Another impressive aspect of this chainset is the cutting-edge HollowTech II cold-forged crank arms. With a purposeful evolution to boost rigidity, minimise weight, and enhance strength, these crank arms are industry leaders. Expect minimal flex from the innovative, anodised aluminium design and appreciate the reduced weight that benefits from the hollow construction.

This FCU8000 CUES HollowTech II chainset can be used alongside Shimano's proprietary external or press-fit bottom brackets. The result is an enhanced installation, adjustment, and maintenance process that proves to be Ease-of-use while ensuring optimal performance.

Additional features of this adaptable chainset include alloy inner and outer chainrings for ultimate durability, along with alloy chainring fixing bolts and a 48.8mm chainline. For assistance in configuring your chainset within the CUES groupset, refer to this easy-to-use chart.
