Shimano 105 Di2 ST-R7170 Hydraulic Disc Brake STI Lever The introduction of 105 Di2 shifters is perhaps the biggest shake up in gear changing since the invention of electronic shifting. With the 12-speed ST-R7170 shifters on your handlebars, smooth, quick electronic gear changes are now quite literally at your fingertips. The 105 series is easily Shimano’s most popular groupset; favoured by cyclists across the world, adding Di2 to the range puts electronic shifting in reach of many a cyclist to whom it was previously unobtainable. With 105 Di2 shifters, not only do you get fast and precise shifting every time you click the button, you’ll also get the braking performance to match. Perfect Shifting At The Touch Of A Button: Introducing Di2 to 105 naturally means one of the most evident changes can be seen in the shifters. Since gear changes are performed electronically, of course, there is no longer any need of a lever to pull cable through. Instead you change gear effortlessly at the touch of the button. Simply click the button, and listen out for the derailleur whirring into life. Via Shimano’s app it is even possible to customise your preferred shifting pattern, whether that’s faster or slower. Ergonomically Minded, Cleaner Look: In addition to introducing electronics to the shifters, the refinement of the shifters’ shape is further evidence of the thought that’s gone into this product. Without the need to accommodate the mechanical devices of the non-Di2 version and based on pro feedback, Shimano have slimmed down the design of the 105 Di2 lever and increased the height of the hood’s hook to improve the ergonomics of the shifter. The enhancements bring ST-R7170 closer in design to the more premium Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines. The combination of a slimmed down shape and absence of wires and ports means that the cockpit area is cleaner than before. So whether it’s the minimalist appearance you crave or it’s more space for accessories you’re looking for, everyone’s a winner. Braking Excellence: Braking control, while already stellar on the previous R7000 model, has also received a boost in performance. The 105 R7170 levers provide exceptional braking performance and control. The lever action is smoother and lighter than before, and the braking control area has been increased too. Battery For The Ages: Finally, if you’re concerned about forever being in a state of charging and replacing batteries, fear not. The two CR1632 batteries required are good for up to three years, which should provide enough power for even the most ardent users.

The Shimano RS710 C32 disc-brake front wheel is an excellent option if you’re looking to upgrade or replace an existing one on your bike. If it’s a full wheelset you’re looking for check out the RS710 C32 wheelset This front wheel is the Japanese brand’s most affordable carbon, road wheel ever. If you’re on a budget or simply only need a replacement, then this is great option to consider. As with all of Shimano’s mid-tier products, it benefits from the experience the brand has gained from producing their premium Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines. The result is a wheel that’s relatively lightweight—especially considering the price point—yet stiff and offers some aerodynamic optimization. A Sleek Mountain Wheel A front Shimano RS710 C32 weighs a respectable 665g, making it perfect for those days spent climbing in the Alps. You might be able to find a lighter set of wheels on the market but at this price point this represents excellent value. Boasting a sleek, minimalist design this is a stylish hoop in its own right but it’s also subtle enough that you can easily pair it with an existing rear without it sticking out like a sore thumb. A Wider Rim With Better Braking The width of RS710 C32 has a wide rim profile that has been optimised for a 25mm to 32mm tyre. What’s more, the hooked-rim profile is tubeless compatible. The benefit of the extra width is that you can run lower pressure in the tyre. Although it goes against the previously accepted wisdom of using slim tyres pumped up to 120psi, a wider tyre at a lower pressure will be faster. Combine this with a tubeless setup and you’ll also experience fewer catastrophic punctures. As the RS710 C32 front wheel is engineered for hydraulic disc brakes you’ll benefit from enhanced braking power on offer from the latest disc brake technology. In using disc brakes, you’ll be confident in braking, in the wet or dry and on steep and/or long descents. So if it’s a front carbon wheel you’re in need of, that’s relatively light, reliable, and offers top performance look no further than the Shimano RS710 C32. Product Features 32mm rim depth Weight: 665g Internal-rim width of 21mm External-rim width of 28mm 24 spokes, bladed and butted Tubeless Ready Disc mount: Center-Lock 140mm disc brake rotor compatible Recommended Tyre Size: 25-622—32-622
The Shimano RS710 C32 disc-brake rear wheel is a great option if you’re looking, either to upgrade your bike’s wheels one at a time or if you simply need a spare. If it’s a full wheelset you’re looking for check out the RS710 C32 wheelset The famed Japanese-component makers have used this series to introduce their most affordable, carbon, road wheel ever. That being said, while it might be a more budget conscious option, that’s not to say its lacking in quality. As is the norm with Shimano’s mid-tier products, this wheel benefits from the technological advances that have been striven for in the production of their top-tier products. The end product is a wheel that’s impressively light—considering the price point—but also incorporates some of the aero-optimisation you’d expect of a modern wheel. Climbing Excellence The Shimano RS710 C32 rear is the perfect for those days spent climbing in the Alps. Weighing a respectable 839g, while there might be lighter wheels out there, at this price point it represents excellent value. In terms of design, the styling has been kept sleek and minimal. This is a stylish hoop in its own, but being so simplistic in its design it will also pair well with a number of other wheels without looking too out of place. Wider Rim, Better Braking As has become the norm in modern wheels, the RS710 C32 has been engineered to be wider than it might have been in the past. The hooked-rim profile is designed to optimally seat a 25mm to 32mm, tubeless tyre. Using a wider, tubeless tyre means you can run your tyres at lower pressures. For the traditionalists, used to pumping up 23mm tyres to 120psi, this might be something of an adjustment. But, rest assured, the accepted wisdom today is that the lower-pressure-wider-tyre combo is faster and more resilient to punctures. The RS710 C32 rear wheel has been engineered for hydraulic disc brakes; the benefits of which are numerous. With the latest disc brake technology, you’ll have consistent stopping power in the wet and on steep and/or long descents. Whether you’re in need of a replacement rear carbon wheel or an upgrade, the Shimano RS710 C46 is an aero-optimised, reliable option. Product Features 32mm rim depth Weight: 839g Internal-rim width of 21mm External-rim width of 28mm 24 spokes, bladed and butted Tubeless Ready Disc mount: Center-Lock 140 mm disc brake rotor compatible Recommended Tyre Size: 25-622—32-622 Pawl and Ratchet Engagement
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

Shimano’s 105 R7000 series might be the brand’s entry point to performance cycling, but, thanks to trickle-down technology from the premium ranges of Dura-Ace and Ultegra, it certainly isn’t sub-standard. Despite the lower price tag for these 105 shifters, you can still be assured of excellent stopping power and smooth gear changes. Whether it’s for the daily commute or your local road race, you’ll get reliable shifting performance every time. Shift Into Gear For this edition, the Japanese component makers have re-vamped the internal shifting unit to give smoother shifting than ever. The Dual Control Levers offers intuitive and quick shifting up/down the cassette, as well as excellent braking performance. Equally, changing between rings in the front is light, especially when paired with Shimano’s FD-R7000 front derailleur. So whether you’re changing-up gears for the decisive, race-winning sprint; or slamming on the brakes while descending Alpine climbs look no further. Braking Excellence As with all Shimano products, these are chocked full proprietary technology. Stopping power has been boosted for the R7000 range of shifters, thanks to SLR-EV. SLR-EV is a short-arm brake system, which employs two bearings and roller to offer increased efficiency, modulation, and stopping power. Three things that you can’t really get enough of when it comes to bike shifters. Combined with the BC-9000 brake cable and Shimano claims it will deliver 36% more braking power than the previous model. Ergonomics In Mind The shape of the shifters has been re-vamped and brought into line with the slimmer, more streamlined Ultegra R8000 series. Further attention has been paid to the ergonomics by increasing the reach adjustment to 15mm, offering more range for those with smaller hands. This attention to ergonomics should offer greater comfort on those longer rides. Features: Mechanical braking system, dual control lever Redesigned internal shifting unit Greater reach adjust range Easier access to inner shift cable
