Shimano XTR M9200 Rear Wheel

The Shimano XTR M9200 rear wheel is designed for the demanding cross-country racer who strives for minimal mass and maximum speed. This wheel forms the perfect basis for an ultralight race bike, thanks to its full carbon rim with an internal width of 29.6 mm. This wide rim offers optimal support for modern XC tires, resulting in more stability in corners and superior traction at low tire pressures. The Tubeless Ready construction allows you to ride without inner tubes, which reduces rolling resistance and minimizes the chance of pinch flats.

What makes this rear wheel unique in the Shimano lineup is the use of 24 straight-pull titanium spokes. Titanium is not only extremely lightweight, but also offers subtle damping that filters out vibrations during long rides. For the hub, Shimano has opted for high-quality sealed bearings instead of the classic cup-and-cone system, which ensures a low-maintenance and silky-smooth running wheel. The reliable seals effectively keep out mud and water, so you can focus on the finish line.

For the drivetrain, the M9200 rear wheel relies on the Micro Spline freehub body, which seamlessly connects to Shimano 12-speed cassettes with a 10-tooth smallest cog. The freehub engages incredibly fast for immediate acceleration after every corner. The brake rotor is attached via the stiff and lightweight Centerlock system. With a weight of around 650 grams, this rear wheel is an uncompromising upgrade for riders who want to shave off every second on the course.
