SHIMANO Deore XT FC-M8200 Bicycle Cranksets

Light enough for XC, strong enough for enduro—the XT FC‑M8200 delivers the perfect balance of stiffness, durability, and efficiency for modern trail riders.

Best for

• 1x Shimano XT drivetrains
• Trail and enduro riders who want a stiff, lightweight crankset
• Frames requiring a 55 mm chainline for wide‑tire clearance

Not ideal for

• 2x drivetrains
• 30 mm spindle bottom brackets (FC‑M8200 uses 24 mm)

What this product does

The FC‑M8200 crankset uses Shimano’s perfected HOLLOWTECH II hollow‑forged construction to deliver exceptional stiffness‑to‑weight performance. Paired with the reinforced SM‑CR86 direct‑mount chainring (sold separately), it provides efficient power transfer and broad frame compatibility thanks to its 55 mm chainline and 176 mm Q‑factor.
