SHIMANO Deore XT wheelset 29 "WH-M8120 | Boost
Shimano offers wheels that match the Deore XT 12-speed group. These may not be the absolute lightweights, but they are very robust, durable and mature, like all products in the top components of the Japanese.
The two ends of the aluminum rims are welded and sanded very clean. This creates a high degree of rigidity and a great look. They are of course also suitable for tubeless use. The curved J-Bend spokes also provide stability and help to forgive some driving mistakes. Furthermore, they save a bit of weight due to the easy butting. The hubs rotate on proven conical bearings with stainless steel balls and, thanks to their large diameter, ensure directional stability and high steering precision on the front wheel. Due to the wide Boost hub standard, the lateral rigidity of the rear wheel could also be increased. The MicroSpline pulley freewheel reduces the free travel enormously and converts every start of you into propulsion. All 12-speed Shimano cassettes can be mounted on the freewheel body.
Shimano recommends this wheelset for 2.25 "to 2.5" wide tires. This defines the intended use of intended use from all-mountain tours to hard enduro.
