Speaking of compatibility, the new Shimano RX880 wheels boast a revamped DIRECT ENGAGEMENT technology hub design, borrowed from DURA-ACE wheels, which easily converts between MICRO SPLINE and HG L2 12-speed freehub bodies. It features quick and efficient engagement for immediate acceleration, regardless of the riding surface. The RX880 hubs and rims feature 24 J-bend spokes front and rear, optimizing strength and reliability, no matter how adventurous your next ride.
