Shimano Dura-Ace FC-7950 10-Speed Compact Chainset
You know that 'compact' chainsets have become the sane choice for most riders when Shimano's elite Dura-Ace cranks are now available in a 34/50t chainring option.
With its HollowGlide hollow 50t chainring to complement this more rounded and streamlined version of the Hollowtech 2 crankarms, the FC-7950 is even sleeker, stiffer and more aerodynamic than previous versions of the Dura-Ace chainset.
- With its hollow large HollowGlide chainring to complement the more rounded Hollowtech 2 crankarms, the FC-7950 is even sleeker, stiffer and more dynamic than the FC-7800-series Dura-Ace chainset.
- HollowTech 2 cold-forged hollow crank arms increase rigidity, reduce weight and improve strength.
- The HollowGlide chainring improves rigidity while saving weight.
- Removing chainring flex improves drivetrain efficiency. This helps maximise your power output.
- The Shimano Dura Ace FC-7950's chainring teeth configuration has been redesigned for optimal chain/chainring interface when used with CN-7900 Dura-Ace and CN-6700 Ultegra chains - again to milk maximum efficiency from every pedal stroke. This can make a difference on a sprint finish.
- HollowTech 2 integrated chainset/bottom bracket design - the bottom bracket bearings are spaced further apart - so they support the axle better and the bearings last longer.
- 'Compact' 34/50t chainrings.
- Compact chainsets are worth considering if you want a wider range of useful gears than a traditional 40/52 or 39/53 chainring set up.
- Compact chainsets deliver a close-to-triple range of gears in a simpler double chainset format.
- Approximate weight: 725g inc bottom bracket (not supplied).
