Your cart is empty.Shimano is often revered as a slow-moving Japanese giant and that status is a double-edged sword. On one side, it's slower to bring products to market and is often deemed to be lagging behind compared to the competition (take the burgeoning gravel scene and its lack of components for instance). On the other, you can rest assured that when the products do hit the shelves, they are engineered, designed, built, and tested to a level that ensures next-level precision and reliability. Case in point: the GRX FC-RX600 Crankset, which gives gravel junkies the option of a wider ratio double setup with typical Shimano shifting and dependability. Shimano spent over two years getting feedback from gravel enthusiasts when developing the groupset that will ultimately tackle dirt and gravel roads and singletrack on drop-bar machines. It learned that rider's wanted the option of 1 or 2x setups, wide gear ranges, and of course, reliability. The GRX FC-RX600 gives you all this while not breaking the bank and working flawlessly with the rest of the GRX 11-speed lineup.The crank is constructed of durable, lightweight, and stiff aluminum alloy and the 46/30t rings provide enough range for climbing long, steep grades with a week's worth of bikepacking gear without spinning out of gear on the other side. Specially engineered tooth profiles and pins ensure positive shifting even in muddy and dusty conditions.

Note: this crankset sits 2.5mm further out from the bottom bracket than do theroad standard Ultegra/105/Tiagra cranks do, so your FD may not be able to reach the largering on the GRX crank; in addition if you have a molded in FD mount it may notgo low enough for the 46T sized GRX. There are adapters to lower the FD inthis instance and you may have to fabricate 2.5mm thick 1/2 diameter spacers forthe chain rings to move them inboard enough for the road FD to work.

Once again another quality produce from Shimano. Buy it once and forget it. A+

I ordered the GRX-600 crank over the GRX-800 series crank mostly because of the issues with the design of the crank. These dont have the glued on hollowtech II technology and not susceptible to breaking. A bit heavier and more in line with the Shimano 105 series vs Ultegra. So it is a bit heavier that the 800 series but I think more robust and a bit cheaper in cost. So far its been great.

I own a steel-frame trail bicycle which came with heavy wheels and slightly tough crankset at 172.5 mm. Among upgrades, I purchased this 170 mm GRX. Much more comfortable to peddle, bringing gear inch down from 28 to 24, and relieving my left knee pain.Problem: after purchase (not cheap), purchaser is told a special GRX derailleur is most probably necessary--an additional one hundred dollars with installation. Nearly three hundred dollars for a trail bike crankset and front derailleur. I am 77 years old, so it is a necessary investment for comfort and hill climbing; your calculations may differ.

Be sure to pair with a GRX front derailleur. The rear derailleur and levers can be 105's. That is what I am successfully running now.

Nice crank for those looking to gear down from a compact 50/34t. Would consider this equal to Shimano 105 in terms of quality and price point

Great product and absolutely what I needed to make my cross bike the gravel bike it wanted to be.
