Shimano WH-RS710-C46-TL Wheelset - 28" | Carbon | Clincher | Centerlock - 12x100mm/12x142mm - HG L

WH-RS710-C46 – A Dream for Sprints and Climbs

SHIMANO offers a completely new generation of full-carbon wheels. Thanks to the shared development concept for DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA, the new full-carbon wheels deliver balanced performance at an affordable price. The C46, which focuses on acceleration and climbing, shares the same DNA as the C36 DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA wheels.

D2 Rim Design

Aerodynamic performance is influenced by wind direction. When developing the D2 rim profile, Shimano’s engineers took both headwinds and crosswinds into account to ensure optimal performance under real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing in the wind tunnel and on the road has shown that the width of the rim shape and the depth of the rim bed offer the best performance across a wide range of conditions. At attack angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the D2 rim design reduces drag more effectively than other rims with aerodynamic features. It also increases the wheel’s lateral stiffness and improves vertical tracking stability, resulting in greater control, comfort, and durability on the road.
