Default Shimano 29r wheelset


Shimano hakar på 29er trenden och lanserar hjul i det större formatet WH-MT75. 23,3mm bred slanglöskompatibel fälg, 24 ekrar och centerlock. Vikt 1850 g/par

Couldn't find a translation.

But apparently 1850 grams, 23.3mm width?, 24 spoke. I'm sure it's tubeless. I'd guess they're going to make them with the 15mm thru axle design too.

They are aesthetically beautiful, but for the cost you are probably better off buying custom built wheels. For the $800+ that this wheelset will cost you can get Stan's Arch's laced to either Chris Kings, Hope Pro II, or Hugi 240's hubs. Stronger, prettier, lighter or equal weight of the Shimano's, and replacement parts will be readily available.

I've been riding/testing a set of these for 4 or 5 months. They're really nice wheels that come in at a decent weight for something tubeless ready.

For the price that these are going to retail for......I'd buy DT 240 on Stans or Bontrager TLR rims without a doubt. They'll wind up lighter, cheaper and more durable.
