The Shimano WH-R8170 wheelset has 36 mm high carbon rims and is the perfect complement for your Ultegra R8100 road bike groupset with Center Lock disc brake. Unlike Dura-Ace R9200 wheelsets, its steel pawl freehub is compatible not only with 12-speed but also with 11-speed cassettes. It is a high-performance all-round model that scores points especially on the mountain with tubeless compatibility, stiffness and low weight. The rims have a jaw width of 21 mm for tires up to 32 mm wide, and feature the wind tunnel-tested D2 Aero design. They were each fitted with 24 double butted stainless steel spokes, with a specific lacing pattern used on the rear wheel to balance the spoke tension. At the center of the wheels rotate 12 mm thru-axle hubs with E-Thru technology for more torsion resistance. Cone bearings ensure durability and ease of maintenance.

- flat aerodynamic D2 profile, tested in the wind tunnel
- speed and efficiency thanks to tubeless compatibility
- rear wheel with 2:1 lacing to compensate for tensions
- full compatibility with 12- and 11-speed cassettes

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 optimizes the stiffness-to-weight ratio and ensures easy handling via its reliable internal cam mechanism. It is characterized 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.

NEW WHEELS
The final element of the new DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA packages are completely revamped wheelset lineups. Top line features include carbon rims, three rim depths, tubeless compatibility (plus tubular options), and an exceptional balance of rigidity, aerodynamics, and low weight. All the new tubeless wheels have a 21mm internal rim width and utilize a hooked bead, meaning you can use clincher tires and tubes if needed.
NEXT-GEN DURA-ACE - NEVER COMPROMISE
Thousands of engineering decisions and refinements, over the course of several years, were made with the singular aim of making you faster. This is the Science of Speed, and it’s what sets Shimano apart.
