Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc

The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc road bike wheels for disc brakes offer versatile performance thanks to their low carbon rim profile, making them suitable for various conditions, including mountainous terrain. The low rim height reduces rotating mass, allowing for quicker acceleration post-turn or during sprints. Moreover, the lightweight nature of the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc wheels facilitates easier and faster uphill riding.

Ride Characteristics:
The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc wheels provide a playful feel on your bike. They respond instantly to acceleration due to the low carbon rims combined with the direct engagement system, ensuring a quicker engagement of the freehub body. The wide 28 mm external rim negates the influence of wind, ensuring a perfect fit for a 28 mm tire. They excel in descents, offering sharp steering and rapid acceleration after turns.

Aerodynamics:
While the semi-high 36 mm rims may not be the tallest, the wide U-shaped rims significantly reduce air resistance. The rims' dimensions minimize wind impact, allowing you to focus on the road ahead without needing constant adjustments. This aerodynamic efficiency is achieved without compromising stiffness, comfort, or control.

Stiffness:
To enhance stiffness, a 1:1 spoke pattern has been implemented in the front wheel. Spokes of 1.5 cm thickness are used to increase stiffness and reduce weight. The stiff ride characteristics are amplified by improving the direct pedal feel during acceleration, achieved through the Direct Engagement system added to the rear hub, resulting in a 63% increase in power transmission efficiency.
