The Sword 1x crankset is designed for simplicity. A single chain-retaining ring in the outer position pairs with the rest of the Sword 1x drivetrain to give you the stiffness, chain security and easy ownership you expect from 1x.

Highlights

  • 40T or 42T narrow-wide aluminium chain-retaining ring
  • 24 mm spindle compatible with Shimano bottom brackets
  • Wide design optimised for a 50 mm chainline
  • Chain-retaining ring works well with a clutch rear derailleur
  • 110 mm asymmetric BCD
  • Arm lengths from 165 mm to 175 mm

Easy to own

Microshift built the Sword crankset to be as compatible as possible. The 24 mm spindle works with a wide range of aftermarket bottom brackets, and the crankset suits both threaded 68 mm and press-fit 86.5 mm shells. If your riding changes, it can be converted to a double by fitting Microshift's Sword 2x chainrings. Claimed weight is 790 g for the 40T and 810 g for the 42T with 172.5 mm arms.

Compatibility & fit

Rated for 10 speed and designed for the Sword 1x drivetrain. The 24 mm spindle is compatible with Shimano bottom brackets for threaded 68 mm or press-fit 86.5 mm shells. Our workshop can fit the crankset and bottom bracket and set up your drivetrain.
