Shimano 105 WH-RS710 C46TL Tubeless Wheelset

The Shimano WH-RS710-C46-TL is an all-round wheelset on 105 level with 46 mm full carbon rims for your road bike. It combines Dura-Ace and Ultegra wheel technologies with a sleek design to allow for aerodynamics, a light weight and enough stiffness at an affordable price. The WH-RS710 has E-Thru thru-axle hubs with low-maintenance conical bearings for Center Lock brake rotors as well as a steel pawl freehub, which is compatible not only with 12-speed but also with conventional Shimano 11-speed road cassettes. The rims feature the wind tunnel-tested D2 design and have an inner width of 21 mm, so you can ride tyres up to 32 mm wide - and of course also as tubeless tyres. The wheelset is equipped with 24 double-butted bladed spokes with aluminium nipples at the front and rear.

D2 Rim
The shape of the Shimano D2 rims has been optimised with regard to both frontal winds and crosswinds. Extensive studies in the wind tunnel and on the road have shown that a wide rim profile with a deep rim well and flow angles of 0 to 15 degrees reduce drag the most. At the same time, this rim shape increases the lateral stiffness of the wheel and improves its vertical compliance, which provides more control, comfort and durability.

Cup and Cone Bearings
Angular contact ball bearings of the cup & cone type are superior to sealed cartridge bearings in terms of load carrying capacity, as they distribute lateral and vertical forces better, and thus run particularly smoothly and last a long time. They are also easier to adjust, maintain and replace.

E-Thru
E-Thru is a tool-free thru-axle system from Shimano that optimises the stiffness-to-weight ratio and ensures easy handling via its reliable internal cam mechanism. It is characterised by a high torsion resistance and thus also supports cornering at high speed. E-Thru thru-axle hubs and thru-axles are available in the corresponding over locknut dimensions for front and rear.
