Designed for the highest speed environments and modern tyre widths, the Ultegra C60 wheelset shares its all-carbon rim profile with Dura-Ace but employs a hub that is compatible with both 11 and 12-speed cassettes. For situations where aerodynamics is the priority, the new Ultegra R8170 C60 wheelset features an all-carbon, 21 mm internal, tubeless compatible rim and a super-fast cup and cone bearing hub that is compatible with both 11 and 12-speed cassettes. 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 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 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.
This wheel features boost-sized hub spacing for an extra-stiff performance from the spokes, giving you improved handling as you ride. Plus, disc-brake compatibility ensures you have consistent braking power, even in harsh conditions.
This 24mm mid-depth rim offers a balanced aerodynamic performance, with a reliably smooth performance when climbing uphill thanks to its 23.2mm width.
The hubs on the Shimano Ultegra RS700 C30 wheels feature high-quality contact seals and the legendary, highly adjustable Shimano cup and cone bearings that provide silky smooth rolling prowess and consistent performance. The rear wheel has been laced together using the Shimano OPTBAL 2:1 spoke lacing pattern. This means the drive side has twice as many spokes as the non-drive side and dramatically increases stiffness and rigidity, which is very noticeable when sprinting and powering out the watts.
The 29.6mm width of the rim ensures a stiff controlled performance no matter the conditions. Plus, the disc brake compatibility ensures gives you a precise stopping power that's perfect for retaining speed on the descent.
