A wide 17-tooth gap between the chainrings gives Sword Black riders a low climbing gear and enough top end for quick gravel descents. It brings gravel-oriented ratios, looks and chainline to a square taper bottom bracket.

Highlights

• 46/29T or 48/31T chainring options
• Wide 17T gap between rings extends your gear range
• 110/80 mm asymmetric 4-bolt BCD
• Wide 47 mm chainline
• Square taper spindle for a 68 x 113 mm JIS bottom bracket
• Steel small ring and aluminium big ring

Gearing for long gravel days

The double rings are spaced to extend your gear range so you can keep riding whatever the terrain throws at you. Microshift designed this crankset around the Sword Black 2x9 shifters and front derailleur, so shifting stays matched across the group. If you later move to a single ring, install one chain-retaining ring in the outer chainring position and the crankset becomes a 1x.

Compatibility & fit

Rated for 9 speed and designed to be used with Sword Black shifters and front derailleur. It runs on a 68 x 113 mm JIS square taper bottom bracket in a threaded 68 mm shell. Both options in this listing have 172.5 mm arms. Our workshop can fit the crankset, bottom bracket and front derailleur and dial in the shifting.
