C36 – For Fast Accelerations and Climbing Delivering the lowest rotational weight and quick acceleration, Shimano’s C36 rim depth is for riders who live for ultimate responsiveness for punchy attacks on the flats, steep ramps on killer climbs, or snappy sprints at the finish line. 

C50/C46 – Perfect Mix of Aerodynamics and Weight For riders seeking the perfect blend of flat-out speed and climbing capability, the C50 and C46 wheels are the ultimate all-around rim depth, ready to tackle any terrain, any pace, and any wind direction. 

C60 – The Ultimate Aerodynamic Advantage Whether you’re a breakaway specialist, zeroed in on time trials, or planning a long solo attack off the front, the C60 is tailor-made to maximize efficiency and slip through the wind while providing maximum lateral rigidity for the most powerful sprints.

Carbon – Shimano premium carbon road wheels deliver the best blend of lightweight strength, aerodynamic rim shape, and lateral stiffness. This is achieved through precision-engineered design, layups, and resin formulas. All new wheelsets for 9200, 8100, and non-series RS710 wheels feature this technology, but each tier differs in the material, layup, resin, and finishing.

Wider Aero Profiles – Shimano’s new carbon rims all feature a modern 21 mm internal rim width to maximize aerodynamic efficiency in front and crosswinds. This also allows a larger contact patch for today’s wider tire norms (25, 28, and 30c), which provides maximum grip and ride comfort. All 9200, 8100, and RS710 wheels feature the same premium design, just made from different layups.

12-Speed Only – In the pursuit of ultimate performance, Shimano designed the 9200 Dura-Ace freehub with all-new Hyperglide L2 technology for maximum power transfer and minimum weight. The freehub features lightweight aluminum construction with a new spline design to prevent excessive gouging from the cassette over time. Due to this new construction and spline design, Dura-Ace wheels are only compatible with 12-speed road cassettes and drivetrains.

11- or 12-Speed Compatibility – New Shimano Ultegra 8100 and the RS710 Carbon Wheels (C36 and C46) feature backward-compatible freehubs that will work with all Shimano 11- and 12-speed road cassettes.

Direct Engagement – Get maximum power transfer and immediate acceleration thanks to the more robust engagement mechanisms engineered into 9200, 8100, and RS710 hubs.

E-Thru Axles – Shimano's tool-less front and rear thru-axle technology allows for maximum lateral rigidity while maintaining ease of removal and installation. That means quicker, more straightforward wheel changes and repairs on the road.

Start with the series that best fits your needs and riding style, and then fine-tune from there with preferred depth and rim type. With tubeless compatibility right out of the box and easy E-Thru Axles, these new Shimano wheelsets will have you rolling on fresh hoops in no time.
