Shimano XTR WH-M9220-B wheelset

Built with the Enduro World Series racing and serviceability in mind, the WH-M9220 is Shimano’s beefiest full-carbon wheel offering yet. Equipped with a hookless 30mm carbon rim, all-new XTR hubs and traditional 28H stainless steel J-Bend spokes, the WH-M9220 is built to survive and easy to repair if things go wrong.

• Quicker Engagement/Less Drag: A 3.5° engagement angle makes FH-M9210-B fast off the line, while smart seal design and smooth bearings mean less drag while coasting.
• Conventional Drilling/Boost Spacing: Available in conventional 29", 12x148mm rear hub boost spacing and traditional 28H drilling option.
• Cartridge Bearings: XTR hubs are now available with easily serviceable stainless steel cartridge bearings.
• Rotation: Cartridge bearings, optimized seal designs and preload adjust keep the hub consistently rolling smoothly.

Direct Engagement | In extensive tests, various prototypes were compared with a focus on drivetrain, lateral and longitudinal stiffness. The result: the drive stiffness has the strongest influence on the drive force. This finding was the basis for the development of the Direct Engagement system, which increases the drive stiffness accordingly compared to the conventional pawl structure. This is achieved on the one hand by a larger contact surface and on the other hand by the toothing which, thanks to its spiral shape, engages more firmly when the drive forces are applied.
