The Shimano WH-MT601 wheels bring robust performance to any trail. The aluminum Tubeless rims feature double butted J-bend spokes that are laced to hubs with Centerlock brake disc mounts and deliver fast acceleration for more fun on the trail. A Micro Spline freewheel makes it possible to install Shimano 12-speed cassettes.

Micro Spline

The aluminium freewheel with 22 evenly spaced teeth keeps the cassette firmly under control for immediate response and also allows the use of a 10 teeth sprocket. In addition, the smaller and compared to the usual Hyperglide freewheel bodies more extensive gearing prevents rotor damage.
