Product Details

The Shimano RS710 C46 disc-brake wheelset, along with the shallower C32, represents the Japanese-component maker’s most affordable carbon wheelset for the road ever. But, despite coming in at a more affordable price point, this wheelset offers heaps of performance benefits. As is usual for Shimano, they have used their experience in manufacturing their more premium Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines, to produce a set of wheels that offers excellent aerodynamic advantage.

As the name suggests, the Shimano RS710 C46 boasts a 46mm-deep rim. At this depth, this is a rim clearly intended for going fast. Whether you want a wheel for racing or tackling fast bunch rides, you’ll have all the aerodynamic advantage you need. That being said, the wheels are not overly deep, making them versatile and easier to manage in windy conditions. Boasting a wider rim profile than any other Shimano wheel at this level, you’ll be able to fit a wider and tubeless tyre; the benefit of this being you can run the tyre at a lower pressure. It’s widely accepted now that, contrary to past beliefs, running a wider tyre at lower pressure reduces rolling resistance, which in turn increases speed for a given power. Furthermore, a wider tyre will work more effectively with a wider rim in terms of aerodynamic performance, again offering you more speed for less effort.
