What Is It?
The Shimano FC-R8000 52T-MT Chainring is a genuine replacement outer chainring for the Shimano Ultegra FC-R8000 11-speed road crankset with a 52-36T semi-compact gearing. Engineered with Shimano's HOLLOWGLIDE technology, precision-machined tooth profiles, and optimized shift ramps, it delivers fast, smooth, and reliable front shifting when paired with the matching 36T-MT inner chainring.
Constructed from aluminium with a carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) core, the 52T-MT chainring offers exceptional stiffness, low weight, and efficient power transfer. It is designed specifically for Shimano's 110 mm asymmetric 4-arm spider and is compatible with 11-speed Shimano HG chains.
