Overview

Riding gravel with one chainring is what the Shimano GRX FC-RX600-1 is designed for. The two piece aluminum crankset pairs a single chainring with a Hollowtech II spindle, and a pedal spindle at the usual size.

A one by layout removes front shifting, which simplifies gravel setups and reduces drops on rough tracks. The listed chainline and Q-factor are given for specific hub and chainstay layouts. The limitation is the lack of a bottom bracket and the narrow fit window.

Who it's for

Gravel and road disc bikes with the stated hub width and chainstay length. Riders with other frame standards, or those wanting a double ring, should confirm fit or choose another crankset.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Single ring simplifies the drivetrain
  • Two piece Hollowtech II design
  • Gravel specific design
Cons
  • Bottom bracket not included
  • Narrow frame compatibility window
  • Single ring limits gear range

Performance notes

A single ring covers the gear range through the cassette alone, so range depends on the rear sprockets chosen. Chainline and Q-factor decide how the crank lines up with the frame, and they must match chainstay length and hub spacing. A Hollowtech II spindle works with compatible bearings, which are sold separately.
