Shimano WH-RS171-CL Center Lock Disc 28" Wheelset

Shimano WH-RS171-CL 28" Wheelset - Wider and lighter

The Shimano WH-RS171-CL 700C wheelset has a wider rim than its predecessor WH-RS170, but is a few grams lighter. The inner dimension is now 19 mm, which makes the wheels also suitable for off-road use. Of course, the proven Shimano quality technologies have been retained.

Technology:

Cup and Cone Bearings
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 optimises the stiffness-to-weight ratio and ensures easy handling via its reliable internal cam mechanism. It is characterised 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.
