Shimano Ultegra R8170 C60 Tubeless CL Disc Rear Wheel

Shimano Ultegra R8170 C60 Tubeless CL Disc Rear Wheel

Engineered for minimal wind resistance, the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C60 Tubeless CL Disc Rear Wheel features a tall 60mm height to enhance aerodynamic performance. Ideal for sprints and TT rides, the tall height cuts through the air, while the tubeless-ready profile mirrors that of the pro-level Dura-Ace equivalent.

At the heart of the wheel is the cold-forged and machined aluminium hub. It utilises cup and cone bearings with Borozon treated races to minimise drag, with its low-friction design offering fast rolling speeds. To protect the bearings, the Labyrinth double-contact sealing prevents water ingress and ensures lasting performance for season after season of use.
