Description
Shimano are one of the leading cycling manufacturers, producing a vast range of high quality components for both on and off road. They have a long and successful history creating high performance, race ready equipment and with their latest release, the WH-6800 Ultegra Clincher or Tubeless Wheelset the Japanese specialists have created a well priced, lightweight and stylish set of wheels. Ideal for road, cyclocross, timetrials and triathlons, whether that be racing, training or just out for a Sunday ride.
Based on the top of the range Dura-Ace wheelset, the WH-6800 fits seamlessly into the Ultegra 6800 range of components. Sharing the same design scheme and high quality you would expect from Shimano’s second in line, performance range.
Versatility is this wheelset’s major selling point. The ability to fit either tubed or UST tubeless tyres makes this the perfect all round wheel and leaves plenty of options for mounting tyres. Either 8, 9, 10 or 11-speed compatible, there is no excuse not to use these wheels with a range of bikes and makes the perfect wheelset for the fantastic Shimano 6800 11-speed groupset.
Shimano are renowned for producing durable and long lasting products that can be put through thousands of trouble free miles. The use of butted stainless steel spokes, 16 in the front and 20 in the rear provide a solid wheelset, yet all keep the weight down to an impressive 1640 grams for the set.
Durability is further bolstered with labyrinth and contact sealing. This process prevents water from entering the rim, as well as dirt and mud, a high level of protection that does not affect rotational smoothness.
A reliable set of wheels, with a specially designed wide flanged hub, paired to an asymmetric rim. This combination provides a stiff and stable ride, perfect for fast cornering or powerful, out of the saddle efforts.
Maintenance need not be a problem with the digital click bearing adjustment, which is also easy to access. The hub can often turn into being a complex, mechanical nightmare, Shimano have made things simple with angular contact bearings that hold the balls in super polished ball races. This results in an incredibly durable and silky smooth rotating wheel. The design of the hub also provides supreme levels of radial and lateral support for an incredibly durable and strong setup.
