Shimano's 1x12speed cranksets are another example of two functionally identical parts costing vastly different amounts in the vain of weight savings. Shimano's Deore, SLX, and XT cranksets are all in the same realm as one another costing $72, $116, and $204 respectively. These also get progressively lighter, weighing in at 782g, 631g, and 620g respectively. The XTR is in its own category when it comes to cost and weight. It comes in at a whopping $549 and weighs only 531g. As for what one provides the best value, I say Deore in the video, but the SLX is up there in the running as well. The Deore is cheaper and comes preassembled. The SLX is $44 more, but does save 151g if weight is important to you. Either way you wont go wrong with the Deore or SLX cranset.
