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

The Shimano RS710 C46 rear, disc-brake wheelset is an aero-optimised performance wheel. It’s perhaps the Japanese-component maker’s most affordable carbon wheel for the road, ever; but that’s not say it’s lacking in performance characteristics. In their usual fashion, Shimano have drawn on their design and engineering expertise honed in manufacturing their top-tier Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines, to produce a set of wheels that offers an excellent balance between aerodynamic advantage and weight. In short, this is a great all-rounder option. If it’s a complete wheelset you’re looking for, check out the RS710 C46 wheelset. The All-Rounder As the name suggests, the Shimano RS710 C46 rear has a 46mm-deep rim. At this depth, it’s clear the rim is meant for speed. However, at 893g it only comes with a slight weight penalty compared to its shallower sibling, making it an ideal all-rounder. Whether it’s for fast bunch riding or rides over mixed terrain, this is an excellent option. Wider Rims, More Speed Cutting-edge component makers that they are, Shimano have produced a wider rim than we might have expected in the past. Boasting a 21mm-internal rim width, the C46s will seat a 25–32mm tyre, which can also be tubeless. This offers a number of benefits to slimmer tyres. For one, a wider tyre will work more effectively at lower pressures, which improves comfort and grip, as well as reducing rolling resistance. Ultimately this translates to more speed for less effort. And, who could complain about that? The Shimano RS710 C46 rear uses hydraulic disc-brakes. Using the latest disc-brake technology you’ll have access to the consistent stopping power afforded by these systems. Whether it’s wet or dry or you’re descending long and/or steep mountains, you’ll have confidence in your stopping abilities. Of course, the rear wheel is the hub of it all, literally. For this edition, Shimano have retained the cup-and-cone style bearings for the hub, common across much of their range. It’s a simple and reliable system, which has been tried and tested for a number of years. If it’s a carbon, all-rounder rear wheel, that’s at the more affordable end of the spectrum you seek then the Shimano RS710 C46 is the well-worth consideration. Product Features 46mm rim depth Compatible with 11- and 12-speed Weight: 893g Internal-rim width of 21mm External-rim width of 28mm Spoke count: 24 front and rear Hub design: cup and cone Pawl and Ratchet Engagement Tubeless-tyre compatible 11- and 12-speed
