MICROSHIFT Sword Crankset: Simple, Accessible Performance for Your Next Adventure
Discover the perfect heart for your drivetrain with the MICROSHIFT Sword Crankset, a standout choice in the world of high-performance bike parts. Meticulously engineered for riders who value reliability and straightforward functionality over unnecessary complexity, this crankset is a testament to smart design. The SWORD BLACK crankset is designed to be simple in operation and accessible, making it an ideal upgrade for a wide range of cycling disciplines, from rugged gravel expeditions to fast-paced Urban Cycling. It is a core component of gravel and adventure-focused drivetrain sets, built to provide a dependable experience on every ride.
Embracing a philosophy of robust simplicity, the Sword crankset delivers consistent performance where it matters most. It is compatible with SWORD 10-speed drivetrains, but only works with square axle bottom brackets. This deliberate design choice ensures maximum durability, ease of service, and wide availability of compatible components, freeing you from proprietary standards and allowing for easy maintenance whether you´re at home or on a remote bikepacking tour. The precise 47mm chain line is optimized for modern frame spacing, ensuring crisp, quiet, and efficient shifting when paired with a compatible 1x system. This focus on proven technology provides a stable and secure platform for putting down power, mile after mile.
The single chainring version is available in 40 and 42 teeth, making it a great choice for gravel riding. This 1x configuration offers the perfect gearing balance, providing enough top-end speed for flat roads and descents while still offering a comfortable range for tackling steep, technical climbs. The simplicity of a 1x setup also means less maintenance, a cleaner cockpit, and no more dropped chains on rough terrain. The asymmetrical 110/80mm BCD (Bolt Circle Diameter) is a modern feature that allows for this versatile range of chainring sizes on a single crank, future-proofing your setup for any adventure you can dream of. Whether you´re building a dedicated gravel machine, a tough-as-nails commuter, or a versatile all-road explorer, the MICROSHIFT Sword crankset offers the reliable foundation you need.
