The all-new Shimano Ultegra C60 Tubeless Carbon Rear Wheel has been designed for powerful riders and sprinters alike looking to gain a significant advantage over their rivals. Shimano has spent countless hours in the wind tunnel and out on the road optimising the new Ultegra C60 wheels for increased rigidity, improved aerodynamics and a lower weight. The result is a rigid, aerodynamic wheel designed for bunch sprints, time-trials and breakaway riders. This has been achieved through an increased focus on testing and feedback from professional riders to achieve the C60's unique design. While Shimano's all-new D2 wheel technology combines with the deep, 60mm profile of the C60 wheels to provide increased lateral stiffness and vertical compliance alongside improved aerodynamic performance. The result is a compliant and aerodynamic wheel that offers significantly improved power transfer and control. The C60 Rear Wheel benefits from a redesigned direct engagement system that increases the contact area of the ratchets for improved drivetrain efficiency and reduces the energy required to accelerate - as Shimano put it themselves, "one pedal stroke, and you're off"! If you've been looking for the perfect wheels for your aero bike, or looking to save Watts during time trials, then we can't recommend the Shimano Ultegra C60 Tubeless Carbon Rear Wheel enough.
AERODYNAMIC PROFILE
The C60 wheels feature a deep, 60mm dish combined with Shimano's all-new D2 rim design to offer increased stability at all yaw angles. While simultaneously reducing drag - you can expect an average saving of 10W over comparative carbon wheel models.
E-THRU AXLE
The E-Thru Axle reduces weight and optimises rigidity for increased stiffness resulting in sharp cornering and smooth-rolling at all speeds.
DIRECT ENGAGEMENT HUB
The C60 has a redesigned direct engagement hub that increases drivetrain rigidity and results in a smooth and more efficient transfer of energy. The result is instant engagement meaning less wasted energy when starting your ride or accelerating away from the bunch!
