Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 Tubeless CL Disc Front Wheel

Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 Tubeless CL Disc Front Wheel

Offering premium aerodynamic performance, the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C50 Tubeless CL Disc Front Wheel is a fast and lightweight choice for any discerning road rider. No matter the gradient, the 50mm rim height performs admirably, offering exceptional climbing, descending and sprinting capabilities. The 21mm internal width pairs well with modern road tyres and creates an aerodynamic profile, while the rigid carbon rim construction is tubeless-ready.

The combination of straight-pull bladed spokes and wide flange spacing makes for a stiff yet compliant wheel, and the cold-forged machined aluminium hub shell sheds excess weight to keep the grams low. Labyrinth double-contact sealing limits the ingress of dirt and water to keep the bearings rolling smoothly, ensuring lasting durability for seasons of use.
