Balance and Innovation have long been staples of Shimano\'s wheel program, and now that trail riders have a dedicated wheelset of their own, the new XTR Race wheels have been rebalanced and refocused specifically to meet the exacting demands of top-level cross-country racers.

Leaner and meaner than ever, these disc-brake-only wheels come with true UST-compatibility in a 19-millimeter-wide, dent-resistant scandium hoop. At just 350 grams per rim, acceleration comes instantly. And for as light as these wheels feel underfoot, thanks to a straight-pull lacing design that uses 24 butted 15-gauge spokes per wheel, they don\'t flinch under hard, aggressive cornering.

Available with a 15-millimeter or standard 9mm quick-release front axle, XTR Race wheels use a fast-engaging titanium freehub body and Shimano\'s proven cup-and-cone bearings for years of race-day performance.

Forget about all those \"one-race\" wheels with their dubious claims of gossamer weight and performance, because this hand-built, sub-1,500-gram wheelset draws on decades of podium-winning experience and is as focused and committed to performing on race day or on any day as you are.

This XTR Race wheel is ready to lead the way on any XC course, with a super-light tubeless 19-millimeter-wide scandium rim backed by a hard-charging 15-millimeter thru axle hub.

Super light weight scandium tubeless rim
8/9/10 speed compatible freehub
Titanium freehub body with quick engagement
Tubeless and tubed tire compatible
Stiff oversized aluminum
Disc brake only
Centerlock rotor mounting system
Double contact high quality seals
Approximate weight 1476 grams
