Who Is the Shimano CUES FC-U4010-2B Crankset Built For?

The Shimano CUES FC-U4010-2B is a 2x crankset built for trekking, trail, and adventure riders who want wide-range gearing with the durability and shifting quality Shimano's LINKGLIDE system delivers. The 2-piece design pairs aluminum crank arms with riveted steel 36/22t chainrings -- steel rings chosen specifically for the longer wear life that LINKGLIDE prioritizes over standard HG setups. At 175mm and a 48.8mm chainline, this crankset is spec'd for the MTB and trekking frame geometry it's designed to work with. Compatible with 9-, 10-, and 11-speed LINKGLIDE drivetrains, making it versatile across the CUES ecosystem.

Uses the Hollowtech II interface -- a compatible Hollowtech II bottom bracket is required and sold separately (BB-MT501 for threaded shells, BB-MT500-PA for press-fit). Works with 68/73mm BB shells. Not compatible with standard Shimano HG derailleurs or shifters -- designed for the CUES LINKGLIDE shifting system. MPN: EFCU40102BEX62.

FAQ

Is this compatible with standard Shimano HG drivetrains?

No. The FC-U4010-2B is designed for Shimano CUES LINKGLIDE shifting systems. It is not compatible with standard Shimano HG derailleurs and shifters.

What bottom bracket do I need?

A separate Hollowtech II-compatible bottom bracket is required. Shimano recommends the BB-MT501 for threaded 68/73mm shells or the BB-MT500-PA for press-fit shells. Confirm your frame's BB shell type before ordering.

Why does CUES use steel chainrings instead of aluminum?

LINKGLIDE is engineered for durability and extended service life, particularly for high-use applications like e-bikes and trekking bikes. Steel chainrings wear significantly slower than aluminum under the repeated shifting and higher load cycles typical of these applications.

Best For

Trekking, adventure, and utility bike riders building or upgrading to a Shimano CUES LINKGLIDE 9/10/11-speed drivetrain who need a wide-range 2x crankset with long-wear steel chainrings.
