MicroShift Sword 1X
$120.00 CAD
Gravel-Ready Simplicity.
The Sword 1X Crankset is a masterclass in modern utility. By moving to a dedicated 1X system, you eliminate the front derailleur, reducing weight and mechanical complexity. The Sword features a narrow-wide chainring that ensures your chain stays put, even when the terrain gets rowdy.
Why the Sword 1X is the Smart Gravel Choice:
-
Narrow-Wide Chainring: The alternating tooth profiles are precision-machined to "lock" into your chain links. This significantly reduces the chance of a dropped chain on washboard roads or technical descents, even without a chain guide.
- Easy Chainring Swaps: The Sword uses a standard 110BCD, 4Bolt asymmetrical mounting pattern. This gives you the freedom to easily swap between a 40T for fast-rolling flats or a 38T/42T depending on your local climbing demands.
-
Durable Alloy Construction: Forged from high-quality aluminum, these arms are designed to take a beating. Unlike carbon, you don't have to worry about rock strikes or "pedal-strike" anxiety when navigating chunky roads.
-
Clean, Modern Aesthetic: The "Satin Grey" or "Stealth Black" finishes look fantastic on everything from classic steel frames to modern aluminum builds. It has a premium look that punches way above its weight class.
-
Gravel-Specific Q-Factor: Optimized for a comfortable, efficient pedaling stance that balances frame clearance for wider tires with ergonomic alignment for long-distance comfort.

The Alegro Perspective: In our shop, we call the Sword crankset "the privateer's dream." It’s incredibly easy to install, easy to live with, and the chain retention is as good as anything we’ve seen from the "Big Three." It’s the perfect engine for your next gravel build.
