Shimano WH-R8170 TL 60mm Carbon Clincher Disc Wheelset

Designed for ultimate aerodynamic efficiency, the Shimano WH-R8170 TL 60mm carbon clincher disc wheelset is built for sprinters, time trialists, and triathletes. The deep-section full carbon rim enhances speed, increases rigidity, and delivers excellent inertia for maximum power transfer on flat terrain.

Precision-engineered for durability and smooth rolling, the wheels feature stainless steel butted and bladed straight-pull spokes (OPTBAL) for optimal stiffness and compliance. A wide flange spacing improves lateral rigidity, while labyrinth double-contact seals effectively block out water and dirt. Borozon-treated steel bearing races ensure ultra-low friction, and the cold-forged aluminium hub shell with an oversized 7075 alloy axle keeps weight to a minimum.

Compatible with 700C clincher tyres, these wheels support Centre Lock disc brakes. The front wheel fits a 100 x 12mm thru-axle, while the rear accommodates a 142 x 12mm thru-axle with Shimano HG 11/12-speed compatibility.
