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

WH-RS710-C46 - A dream for sprints and climbs

Typical Shimano, the WH-RS710 wheels also benefit from the technology concepts of the in-house high-end series. Thanks to the same DNA that already distinguishes the wheelsets of the Dura Ace R9200 and Ultegra R8100 groupsets, the models at the level of the 105 R7100 series are also full carbon wheels that combine the balanced performance of the role models with a low price.

All Shimano WH-RS710 wheels are united by the perfect synthesis of aerodynamics, low weight and stiffness, which offers a completely new riding experience. However, while the C32 version (32 mm profile height) focuses on acceleration and hill climbs, the C46 variant (46 mm profile height) presents itself as the first-class all-rounder.

D2 rim construction

Aerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. In developing the D2 rim profile, Shimano's engineers considered both headwind and crosswind to ensure optimal performance under real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing in the wind tunnel and on the road has shown that a wide rim shape and deep rim bed provide the best performance under a wide range of conditions. At angles of attack from 0 to 15 degrees, the D2 rim design reduces drag better than other aerodynamic rims. It also increases the wheel's lateral stiffness and improves vertical tracking, resulting in greater control, comfort and durability on the road.
