Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Tubeless CL Disc Front Wheel

Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Tubeless CL Disc Front Wheel

Featuring a sleek, shallow depth aero profile, the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Tubeless CL Disc Front Wheel delivers epic performance for discerning road cyclists seeking a lively ride-feel. Fast off the mark, the low weight of this carbon wheel delivers sporty acceleration and is an excellent addition to any premium road bike build. Ideal for climbing, the 36mm height balances speed and weight, while elbowless spokes offer compliance without sacrificing strength and rigidity.

To prevent dirt and water ingress, Labyrinth double-contact sealing keeps the bearings free from grime, and the Borozon treated bearings races provide a low-friction finish to reduce drag. Wide flange spacing promotes stiffness to enhance efficiency, and the tubeless design amplifies speed on the road.
