Shimano WH-M788 XT Mountain Bike Wheels Review

Written by | Tuesday, 04 October 2011

The front wheel costs £180 and comes in either 15mm thru-axle (tested) or 9mm QR (quick release) versions, however they lack interchangeable axles like some of their competitors’ wheels (notably Hope, Specialized, Mavic and Fulcrum), which is a... Be warned, however, they’re a genuine struggle to get tyres on and off (we snapped four tyre levers trying to fix a trailside puncture) so ensure you use a strong set like Pedro’s fine levers. Once on, the tyres remain secure and as the rims are UST they also seal well with tubeless-ready or full tubeless set-ups. These are the new XT Trail wheels with 15mm thru-axle front hub and 135x9mm axle rear hub. Weighing in at 1820g a pair (800g front, 1020g rear) they’re 228g lighter and £20 cheaper than the outgoing wheels they replace (the 20mm thru-axle XT AMs). Centerlock disc mount only, the rear wheel costs £190 and is also available in a 142x12mm thru-axle option. The rims are strong with solid outer walls and have taken numerous potential rim-denting knocks without so much as a scratch, whatever pressures we ran. The new steel freehub resists cassette scarring and is fast-engaging with pawl engagement every 10-degrees - more than good enough for most riders most of the time.
