Carbon laminated rim for clincher - Aerodynamics performance and improved drive rigidity.
The DURA-ACE C60 series carbon wheelset, available in both rim- and disc brake version, provides improved rigidity thanks to a wide flange hub and offset rim so you can reach that next level of aerodynamic performance.
The front wheel has 16 and the rear wheel has 21 reinforced stainless steel spokes. The rear wheel is centered on a aluminum freehub body and creates the delicate balance - so crucial to acceleration and speed - between light weight and rigidity.
Note: 11 speed hub body. For 10-speed, the supplied 1,85mm spacer ring is required.

TECHNOLOGIES:
D2 Rim
Keeps rear derailleur guide pulley an optimum distance from each sprocket. SHIMANO’s Double Servo-Panta Mechanism enables the rear derailleur to move in an optimum path. The guide pulley tracks the cogs closely while moving front to back, optimizing each shift. Perfect tracking contributes to the most accurate SIS shifting. Aerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. To create the D2 rim, SHIMANO engineers considered both frontal and cross winds, aiming to achieve optimal performance in real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing, in the wind-tunnel and on the road, proved that a wide rim shape with a deep tire bed performs best across a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the SHIMANO D2 rim profile reduces air drag better than others aero shape rims. This rim design also boosts lateral wheel stiffness and offers improved vertical compliance for increased control, comfort and durability on the road.
OPTBAL Spoke System
The OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes - 14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today’s wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel.
