Product details

Designed for cycling enthusiasts, the Shimano Ultegra R8170-C36 front wheel is an excellent choice for those seeking performance and reliability. This wheel features a disc brake system that provides enhanced braking power in all weather conditions. The Centerlock technology allows for quick installation and secure attachment of the brake disc.

With a 12-100 mm axle, this wheel is designed to fit a variety of bike frames. Compatibility with a tubeless system not only reduces weight but also improves puncture safety, allowing for a smoother and more enjoyable ride. Cyclists can enjoy the flexibility of a tubeless setup, which enables them to ride at lower pressures, increasing comfort and improving grip on different road surfaces.

The rims of the Ultegra wheel are made from lightweight and durable materials, ensuring longevity and exceptional performance even under intense racing conditions. Their optimized aerodynamics help reduce air resistance, allowing for higher speeds with less effort.

In summary, the Shimano Ultegra R8170-C36 front wheel combines technological innovation with Shimano's expertise, providing cyclists with high-quality equipment that meets the demands of modern road routes. Whether for competition or regular rides, this wheel stands out for its performance and reliability.

The Shimano-Ultegra carbon rim models are very convincing all-rounders. They offer a comparatively large rim width, which enables a large tyre volume and therefore a very comfortable ride.
