Shimano XTR M985 Race 26 inch Disc Wheels

The new XTR Race group doesn't just ask to be pushed at race pace, it demands it.

Shimano's first-ever off-road double-ring crank rewards those who ride with a sense of urgency.

XTR Race's sub-1,500-gram tubeless wheels spin quickly up to speed while stronger, leaner pedals offer greater efficiency and more control than ever. And forget the notion that a cross-country race brake needs to mean skittish, on-the-edge-of-control performance, because the new XTR Race brake supplies surgically apportioned stopping power while still shedding 40 grams over its predecessor.

Want to race on a triple or boost your brake power even further?
