FAQ

Does the FC-M8200 come with a chainring?

No. The FC-M8200 is a crank arm set only. The SM-CR86 direct-mount chainring is sold separately in tooth counts from 28t to 36t. This allows riders to select their preferred chainring size independently of the arm set.

What is the most common chainring size for trail riding with the FC-M8200?

32t is the most commonly used size for trail and all-mountain riding, offering a balanced range when paired with a 10-51t or 10-45t cassette. 30t suits steeper, more technical terrain or heavier riders. 34t works for flatter trails or faster XC-oriented riding.

Is the FC-M8200 compatible with 11-speed XT drivetrains?

No. The FC-M8200 is designed for 12-speed Shimano XT M8100 and compatible 12-speed drivetrains. It is not compatible with 11-speed drivetrains.

Best For

Trail, all-mountain, and enduro riders running Shimano Deore XT 1x12 on 148mm rear axle spacing frames who need a new crank arm set and will pair it with an SM-CR86 direct-mount chainring.
