Just get SLX. More important to get the correct length. I changed my SLX to XT cos I got the wrong length can any one here explain bit...  Weight difference... as a whole... XT is lighter for the same length, both SLX and XT uses the same BB but the interesting fact is that the SLX crankarms are actually lighter than XT

Yeah.. mountain bike unfortunately not much choice unless you go really niche.Most of the folks here said that it's not noticeable for it is very noticeable for me lor. Changing from 175mm back to 170mm (WTF 5mm only) is like seeing light... spins so much more better. But if you're a pedal masher... then no diff... maybe longer even better. Google the suitable crank arm length lor The crankarm weights... both in 175mm
