Reliable Road Performance.
The Shimano FC-A070 features a compact 50-34T gearing setup, making it an excellent option for riders who need a versatile gear range for both fast flats and challenging climbs. Built for longevity, it utilizes a traditional square taper bottom bracket interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide variety of older and entry-level frames.

-
Optional Chain Guard: This model includes a built-in chain guard, which helps keep your pant legs clean and protects the chainrings from light impacts.
