Get an advantage over other riders with this wheelset that will get you rolling fast. When it comes to biking you’ll always want the best possible components for a competitive edge, which means you’ll want a performance wheelset to go with your crankset, derailleurs and shifters that this Shimano wheelset provides.

Weighing just a mere 1,525 grams per pair, the XTR WH 975 feature Shimano hubs with angular contact bearings and a titanium freehub body that provides you with quick engagement and acceleration. In this wheelset, you’ll feel a reduction in weight rotation when riding due to the balanced spoke pattern that includes quick releases and UST valves, and the XTR WH 975 Wheelset can accept Shimano Centerlock disc brake rotors. When you’re looking to gain that edge over others riders, then the Shimano XTR WH 975 Wheelset will provide that advantage on any road.

To compete with other bikers on the road or on the trails, there is an even greater need to have a bike that is lighter and still built to perform. With the weight of every component contributing to a bike’s weight even cranksets are becoming lighter, so it doesn’t just stop with lighter wheels and frames any more. Shimano designed the XTR FC-M970 crankset with minimal weight and increased shifting performance and durability due to the Titanium/Carbon composite chainring for reduced weight that maintains rigidity. If you’re in need of helping your bike lose a little more weight to increase its performance, then you’ll want to buy this Shimano XTR FC-M970 Crankset

If you’ve got a carbon frame bike, then you might want to get a full carbon wheelset from Reynolds that will make your bike even lighter to give you that extra advantage in any road competition. These new clincher rims are 37.5g lighter per wheel are have DT Competition spokes on the radial and drive side, and complimeted with DT Aerolite on the rear wheel non-drive side. When you buy these REYNOLDS MV 32C CLINCHER SHIMANO WHEELS, you’ll also get Ti/Alloy skewers, Swiss Stop carbon specific brake pads, spoke wrench, tire levers and rim strips. Blow away the competition on two wheels when you have this wheelset.

Not everyone is looking for a bike to compete in road races or downhill competitions, but that doesn’t mean you have to settle for a lesser bike.
