What Makes the Shimano Tourney FC-TY501-2 a Reliable 2x Crankset?

The Shimano Tourney FC-TY501-2 is a 2x7/8-speed crankset built for entry-level MTB, commuter, and hybrid bikes that need dependable gearing at an accessible price point. Aluminum crank arms keep the weight reasonable while the riveted steel SG-X 46/30t chainrings deliver the durability that everyday use demands -- steel rings outlast aluminum significantly under daily chain friction, making this a practical choice for high-mileage commuter and recreational builds. Dual SIS-compatible chainring profiling with shift ramps and pins delivers smooth, predictable front shifts across the wide 46/30t range, from flat-out speed on the large ring to comfortable climbing on the small ring.

Mounts to a square taper JIS bottom bracket -- sold separately, check your frame for 68mm or 73mm shell width. Chainrings are riveted and not individually replaceable. Compatible with 135/142mm rear hub spacing and 7- and 8-speed Shimano components. MPN: EFCTY5012C60XLB.
