The ultimate objective of Shimano’s wheel designs is to create faster, more durable wheels for all types of riders through a strategic balance of key factors -- aerodynamics, lightweight, rigidity, compliance, comfort, durability, price and style -- plus the Quality Control manufacturing standards that have forged the Shimano legacy.

With a focus on speed, the new rim profiles yield a substantial reduction in weight while maintaining the aerodynamic shape of the rim and its race-tested advantages (less subject to crosswinds and enhanced precise steering).
A 16 spoke front wheel with an oversized 15mm aluminum axle helps counter the flex that occurs in contemporary carbon fork designs.
The 20 spoke rear wheel, centered on a lighter weight titanium freehub body creates the delicate balance - so crucial to acceleration and speed - between light weight and rigidity. The WH-7900 series make use of the most advanced rim designs and materials; super-light carbon fiber composites.
