This rim offers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency and agility while maintaining stability and control during strong cross winds. Suited to climbing sessions, long-distance fast events and epic endurance rides, this wheel features a centre lock disc rotor mount and is compatible with Shimano 11 and 12-Speed drivetrain systems.Balancing aerodynamics, weight, and affordability, the new Ultegra R8170 C50 front wheel is sure to inspire action on your group ride with its all-new tubeless carbon rim and updated, 12 and 11-speed compatible hub.Summiting climbs, carving descents, or cruising the flats, the new C50 is the jack of all trades among the new Ultegra R8170 wheel lineup. The tubeless, carbon rim features a 21 mm internal width that pairs nicely with wider, modern tyres while the HYPERGLIDE cassette body is compatible with 11 and 12-speed cassettes.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 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 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.Features: Series: Ultegra R8100 Series Rim: Carbon Tubeless Ready 50mm height full Carbon rim Internal Rim Width: 21mm Shared rim profile with R9200 Dura-Ace wheels Improved aerodynamics Axle: 12mm E-THRU Disc Rotor Mount: Centre Lock Weight: 698gA 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Wheels & Tyres from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
