Although Shimano have always had a good reputation for building solid wheels for road and MTB, they have set out to redefine their range in order to encompass the high performance and precision engineering that all of their components are renowned for. The latest Shimano mountain bike wheels utilise wider rims, 24 spokes instead of 16, faster engaging hubs and a more conventional 2-cross lacing pattern, the new Shimano MTB wheel range is now stiffer, lighter, stronger and easier to maintain too.
