Shimano CUES FC-U6000 9/10/11 Speed MTB 1x Chainset - 55mm C/L - 32T - 165mm

The Shimano CUES FC-U6000 1x Chainset delivers durable, dependable drivetrain performance for modern mountain bikes, combining a robust 2-piece crank construction with excellent chain retention and compatibility across Shimano CUES 9, 10 and 11-speed drivetrains.

This 55mm chainline version is designed specifically for wider MTB rear spacing, making it ideally suited to modern Boost-style frames with a 148mm thru-axle rear hub. Available with 30T or 32T chainrings, it provides practical gearing for trail riding, leisure MTB use and everyday off-road riding.

Shimano's DYNAMIC CHAIN ENGAGEMENT+ tooth profile improves engagement between the chain and chainring, helping prevent dropped chains when riding over rough and uneven terrain. The tooth design also promotes smoother engagement and reduced drivetrain wear.

The FC-U6000 uses Shimano's proven 2-piece crank design with an integrated 24mm axle and outboard bottom bracket bearings, providing a strong and efficient connection between rider and drivetrain. Aluminium crank arms are paired with a durable steel chainring for excellent longevity.

A versatile and hard-wearing choice for new builds or drivetrain upgrades, the FC-U6000 brings Shimano CUES durability and compatibility to modern 1x mountain bikes.
