Robust, versatile and designed for an active lifestyle, ESSA components are suitable for a wide range of sporty leisure bicycles, including mountain, fitness and city bikes. With the help of the compatibility to parts from the Acera, Altus and Tourney TX groupsets, the ESSA series also noticeably enhances Shimano's lineup of 8-speed shifting systems. At the same time, the complexity of the entry-level range is significantly simplified and harmonized.

Shimano ESSA FC-U2000-1 crankset

Off to new challenges. In the version with a wider chain line (52 mm), the reliable FC-U2000-1 crank from the Shimano ESSA series not only impresses with a comfortable and smooth ride feel, but also with excellent chain retention on any terrain. Responsible for the optimized chain guidance is the Dynamic Chain Engagement+ tooth design of the chainring suitable for 7- and 8-speed drivetrains.

Dynamic Chain Engagement+ | The special tooth profile for chainrings of 1-speed drivetrains noticeably improves chain retention, which also makes pedaling easier in rough terrain and offers particular advantages in the MTB application areas of Cross County, Enduro and Trail. The optimized chain guidance also reduces abrasion and wear, regardless of the gear selected.
