It provides similar levels of performance to the flagship models, only with a small weight penalty and without some of the fancy finishing and surface treatments that you might find at higher price-points.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese wheels have a Microspline freehub which is essential if you want to run a 12 speed Shimano cassette. The lightweight aluminium freehub uses smaller, more widely distributed splines that spread the load from the cassette more evenly than traditional HG models, which reduces the surface damage and gouging that the cogs can often cause on aluminium freehubs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e30mm internal width rims means that you can run wide tyres and the Centrelock rotor attachment allows for the use of Shimano's Freeza rotors which maximise the cooling potential of your brakes, keeping them feeling consistent under heavy, sustained braking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e SLX\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHub:\u003c\/b\u003e Shimano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRims:\u003c\/b\u003e Shimano\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/b\u003e Alloy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHub Engagement:\u003c\/b\u003e Max 7 degrees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eConvertibility:\u003c\/b\u003e 148 x 12mm thru-axle only\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAxle Type:\u003c\/b\u003e 12 mm E-THRU\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBrake Rotor Attachment:\u003c\/b\u003e Centrelock\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFreehub Body:\u003c\/b\u003e 12 Speed Microspline\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e Tubeless:\u003c\/b\u003e Tubeless ready\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27.5\": 1206g \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29\": 1255g \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRim Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e27.5\": 584 x 30C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e29\": 622 x 30C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInternal Rim Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 30mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExternal Rim Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 34.7mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRecommended Tyre Width:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.25\" - 2.5\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJoint Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Welded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpokes:\u003c\/b\u003e 24\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpoke Type:\u003c\/b\u003e J-Bend\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNipples:\u003c\/b\u003e Alloy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePros:\u003c\/b\u003e Affordable price point, 30mm internal width allows the use of wider tyres.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCons:\u003c\/b\u003e Only compatible with 12 speed Microspline cassettes and Centrelock brake rotors.","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40684451561517,"sku":"10007203","price":209.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0575\/7052\/5229\/products\/Shimano_WH_MT620_12_Speed_Micro_Spline_Rear_Wheel_Shimano_Micro_Spline_01.jpg?v=1654585796","url":"https:\/\/www.mtbdirect.com.au\/products\/shimano-wh-mt620-12-speed-micro-spline-rear-wheel-shimano-micro-spline-12x148mm-boost-centrelock-rear-27-5-inch","provider":"MTB Direct Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
