Compensation Available for Users of Defective Shimano Hollowtech Cranksets

Bicycles are a trusted mode of transportation and recreation, with riders relying on manufacturers to ensure the safety and reliability of their products. At the heart of a bicycle's functionality lies the crankset, the component the chain and pedals attach for pedaling. The crankset is:

Pivotal for propulsion;
Plays a crucial role in rider safety;
A malfunctioning crankset can lead to accidents and injuries.

"Hollowtech" 11-Speed Road Cranksets, Manufactured By Shimano, Have Shown To Separate And Break

This case focuses on a specific type of crankset: the "Hollowtech" 11-speed road crankset, manufactured by Shimano.

These cranksets have a defect that poses a clear danger to users:

the bonded crank parts of these Hollowtech cranksets separate and break, creating a significant crash hazard for cyclists.

This defect is particularly alarming for modern "road" bicycles, often ridden at high speeds near motor vehicles, with the rider's feet securely attached to the pedals at the end of the crank arms.

These defective cranksets," installed on bicycles manufactured and sold by various bicycle manufacturers, have raised substantial concerns in the cycling community.

Unexpected failures of the cranksets can result in sudden crashes and serious personal injuries, affecting the rider's physical well-being and confidence in the cycling equipment they rely on.

It is essential to highlight that the danger posed by these defective cranksets remained undisclosed to consumers for an extended period.

After years of denials, Shimano did not acknowledge the widespread issue on September 21, 2023. This acknowledgment came after numerous incidents and injuries related to the defective cranksets, raising concerns about the company's commitment to product safety.
