Das zeichnet DEORE FCMT520 aus
As part of Shimano's DEORE groupset, this chainring set bridges the gap between entry-level and mid-range trail drivetrains. The single-chainring setup simplifies shifting mechanics while the 32-tooth tooth count offers a versatile gear range for varied terrain. The direct mount design eliminates the need for a separate bottom bracket adapter in compatible frames.
