Description

Deep 60mm Profile Meets Minimal Drag for Maximum Speed

Designed for high speed racing environments and modern road plus tire widths, the ULTEGRA WH-R8170 C60 TL wheelset shares the same all-carbon rim profile with its pricier DURA-ACE brethren but employs hub compatibility across both Shimano 12 and 11-speed cassettes.

For situations where aerodynamic performance takes top priority, the new ULTEGRA WH-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 12 and 11-speed cassettes.

With its focus on reduced drag and high stiffness, the WH-R8170-C60 wheelset is ideal for road racing. The high-profile rims make it possible to put more pressure into the corners, so that every bit of power is converted into forward momentum..

While a sophisticated D2 rim design and 60mm deep profile underline a focus on aerodynamic efficiency, the ultralight hubs keep weight to a minimum while greatly enhancing overall wheel stiffness.

The OPTBAL system emplys a 2:1 spoke ratio, resulting in twice as many spokes on the drivetrain side as on the opposite side. The technology counteracts the unbalanced tension caused by increasing cassette widths on the drive side. The OPTBAL construction balances out this spoke tension increasing the spoke lifetime and creating a much stiffer wheel overall.

The result is an extremely lightweight, ultra-stiff performance-driven road racing wheel.

The new Ultegra carbon disc wheel release consisting of the C36, C50, and C60 wheelsets was created to compliment Shimano's new 12-speed groupset but is conveniently reverse-compatible with Shimano's 11-speed as well, providing maximum flexibility across a wider range of drivetrains.

    Great upgrade to my road bike. Michelin Power Cup tires mounted effortlessly. Rode 70 miles so far on these wheels and they performed well.
