Overview
Front Wheel Shimano Ultegra WH-R8170-C60-TL 12x100 mm
Shimano Ultegra WH-R8170-C60-TL is a high-performance carbon front wheel designed for road cyclists who prioritise aerodynamics, speed and efficient riding performance. Part of the Shimano Ultegra R8100 series, the C60 features a deep 60 mm rim profile engineered to reduce aerodynamic drag and help maintain high speeds. It is an excellent choice for racing, fast training sessions and riding on flatter, high-speed courses.
The 60 mm deep full carbon rim shares its aerodynamic profile with Shimano Dura-Ace R9200 series wheels. Its deep-section design is optimised to minimise air resistance, providing particular benefits at higher riding speeds. The lightweight, rigid construction contributes to precise handling and responsive performance during acceleration and changes of direction.
With a 21 mm internal width and 28 mm external width, the rim is designed to accommodate modern, wider road tyres. The Tubeless Ready construction supports both tubeless tyres and conventional clincher tyres with inner tubes. The wider rim profile provides improved tyre support, helping achieve an effective balance of rolling efficiency, grip and riding comfort. Shimano recommends tyre sizes from 25-622 to 32-622.
The front wheel features 24 stainless steel spokes, providing a rigid and durable structure. Its lightweight aluminium front hub incorporates labyrinth and contact seals to help protect the bearings against dirt and moisture. The Shimano CENTER LOCK disc rotor interface ensures compatibility with suitable disc brake rotors, while the 12x100 mm E-THRU axle standard provides secure attachment to the front fork.
Weighing approximately 738 grams, the Shimano Ultegra C60 front wheel combines a deep aerodynamic rim profile, premium carbon construction and proven Shimano technology. It is an excellent upgrade for riders looking to improve their road bike's aerodynamic efficiency and achieve stronger performance at higher speeds.
