The Shimano RS710 C32 disc-brake wheelset, along with the deeper-section C46, is the Japanese brand’s most affordable carbon, road wheelset ever. Drawing on their experience in producing the more premium Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines, Shimano have crafted a wheelset that balances aerodynamic advantage, with weight and overall rigidity. A Wheelset for Mountains Weighing a respectable 1,511g for the set, the Shimano RS710 C32 is perfect for those big days spent cycling in the mountains. Although there might be lighter wheels on the market—though perhaps not this price point—you certainly won’t feel weighed down by these hoops. With a lighter wheel you’ll feel the zip when you put down the power, getting you up to speed in no time. Whether you need a quick burst of acceleration to crest a sharp hill or to see off a potentially race-losing attack, the RS710 C32s won’t leave you watching the peloton motor on without you. Wider Rims, Better Braking Boasting a wider rim profile than any other Shimano wheel at this level, you’ll be able to fit a wider and tubeless tyre; the benefit of this being you can run the tyre at a lower pressure. It’s widely accepted now that, contrary to past beliefs, running a wider tyre at lower pressure reduces rolling resistance, which in turn increases speed for a given power. Furthermore, a wider tyre will work more effectively with a wider rim in terms of aerodynamic performance, again offering you more speed for less effort. The Shimano RS710 C32 is engineered for hydraulic disc-brakes, meaning you’ll benefit from the stopping power offered by this braking system. The advantages of discs over rim brakes have now been widely accepted: you’ll have consistent performance in the wet, you won’t have to fear overheating your rims on long and/or steep descents, and you won’t be concerned about your expensive rims eroding away every time you break. Lastly, for the mechanically minded, Shimano have stuck with their tried-and-tested cup-and-cone bearings in the hubs. This is similar to the used on many of the brand’s hubs, which are highly regarded for their reliability and simplicity. So if it’s a carbon wheelset that’s relatively light, reliable, and offers top performance look no further than the Shimano RS710 C32. Product Features 32mm rim depth Compatible with 11- and 12-speed Weight: 1,511g for the pair Internal-rim width of 21mm External-rim width of 28mm Spoke count: 24 front and rear Hub design: cup and cone

With a shallow-depth aero profile and lively acceleration, the Ultegra R8170 C36 wheelset is a climber's delight that delivers performance every road rider will appreciate. With the speed and efficiency of tubeless tyres, the everyday performance of a shallow, aero profile carbon rim, and the convenience of 11 and 12-speed compatibility, the new Ultegra R8170 C36 wheelset is an upgrade for any road bike. Centre-Lock Disc Rotor Mount The Centre Lock system makes an easy rotor installation possible with a spline mount and a lock ring. The lock ring mounting system reduces the total working hours by shortening the amount of time of both installation and de-installation. In addition, the secure fixing by the spline mount enhances precision and rigidity while improving braking efficiency. D2 Aerodynamic Rim Profile Aerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. To create the D2 rim, Shimano engineers considered both frontal and crosswinds, aiming to achieve optimal performance in real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing, in the wind tunnel and on the road, proved that a wide rim shape with a deep tyre bed performs best across a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the Shimano D2 rim profile reduces air drag better than others aero shape rims. This rim design also boosts lateral wheel stiffness and offers improved vertical compliance for increased control, comfort and durability on the road. Shimano E-Thru Axle System The tool-less type thru-axle skewer system optimizes rigidity and weight balance and enables easy operation with a reliable internal cam mechanism. The 15 mm thru-axle system is 15% stiffer torsionally and 25% stiffer in transverse shear than a traditional 9 mm quick release front axle system. High rigidity is secured while keeping the optimum weight balance. The E-Thru axle hub system minimizes the distortion of suspension while maintaining lightweight for riding around sharp corners at high speed. Rear Wheel OPTBAL Spoke System The OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes—14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today’s wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally, high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel.
Shimano Ultegra RS700 C30 TL Road WheelsetCarefully engineered by Shimano to deliver responsive handling and direct rider to road power transfer, the Ultegra RS700 C30 TL Road Wheelset is an ideal choice for demanding cyclists.

Meanwhile, the hub features an alloy freehub body and a new engagement mechanism for increased rigidity. Centre-Lock Disc Rotor MountThe Centre Lock system makes an easy rotor installation possible with a spline mount and a lock ring. The lock ring mounting system reduces the total working hours by shortening the amount of time of both installation and de-installation. In addition, the secure fixing by the spline mount enhances precision and rigidity while improving braking efficiency. D2 Aerodynamic Rim ProfileAerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. To create the D2 rim, Shimano engineers considered both frontal and crosswinds, aiming to achieve optimal performance in real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing, in the wind tunnel and on the road, proved that a wide rim shape with a deep tire bed performs best across a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the Shimano D2 rim profile reduces air drag better than others aero shape rims. This rim design also boosts lateral wheel stiffness and offers improved vertical compliance for increased control, comfort and durability on the road. Rear Wheel OPTBAL Spoke SystemThe OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes—14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today's wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally, high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel. Shimano E-Thru Axle SystemThe tool-less type thru-axle skewer system optimizes rigidity and weight balance and enables easy operation with a reliable internal cam mechanism. The 15 mm thru-axle system is 15% stiffer torsionally and 25% stiffer in transverse shear than a traditional 9 mm quick release front axle system. High rigidity is secured while keeping the optimum weight balance. The E-Thru axle hub system minimizes the distortion of suspension while maintaining lightweight for riding around sharp corners at high speed.
