Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Tubeless CL Disc Wheelset

Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Tubeless CL Disc Wheelset

Lightweight and race-ready, the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Tubeless CL Disc Wheelset is ideal for those looking to shave off seconds on their favourite climbs. Fast off the mark, the 36mm height drops the weight for rapid acceleration, offering impeccable handling and performance when the gradient is against you. Utilising the same carbon mould as the top-shelf Dura-Ace model, this wheelset is tubeless-ready. Its internal width of 21mm is ideal for modern tyre widths, offering enhanced speed and aero properties.

The cup and cone bearings feature races treated with Borozon to reduce friction. These are housed within the cold-forged machined aluminium hub shell, which features an increased flange width to boost lateral stiffness. For rapid engagement, the rear hub uses direct engagement interlocking faces for near-instantaneous bite, giving you the edge when it comes to race day.
