Shimano's most accessible full-carbon road wheelset brings the DNA of Dura-Ace and Ultegra engineering to 105 pricing. The RS710 C46 pairs a 46mm all-round rim depth with tubeless-ready construction and Centre-Lock disc braking — delivering confident performance across flat stages, rolling hills, and variable conditions.

Highlights

  • 46mm full-carbon rim — balanced depth for all-round performance in varied conditions
  • Tubeless ready (hooked rim) — includes rim tape and valves; run lower pressures for improved comfort and grip
  • D2 rim profile — developed through wind-tunnel and on-road prototype testing for real-world aerodynamic efficiency
  • Centre-Lock disc hub — precision rotor mounting for consistent, powerful braking
  • 21mm internal / 28mm external rim width — optimised for modern 25–32c tyres
  • 24 bladed steel spokes front and rear — reliable strength with a clean, purposeful aesthetic
  • Lightweight pair weight of approximately 1,612g
  • Compatible with Shimano 11-speed and 12-speed HG cassettes

Carbon Construction & Aerodynamics

The RS710 C46 shares its development philosophy with Shimano's flagship Dura-Ace and Ultegra carbon wheels. The D2 rim profile was refined through extensive wind-tunnel and real-world prototype testing to reduce aerodynamic drag without sacrificing handling stability. At 46mm depth, these wheels strike the sweet spot between aero efficiency and crosswind manageability — making them a capable choice for everything from training rides to race day.

Tubeless Ready & Disc Brake

The hooked tubeless-ready rim allows you to run either tubeless or clincher tyres. Running tubeless with lower pressures improves rolling resistance, comfort, and puncture resistance on varied road surfaces. The Centre-Lock hub interface provides rigid, precise rotor mounting that enhances braking consistency and ease of wheel changes. Hubs run on serviceable steel cup-and-cone bearings with a pawl ratchet freehub mechanism.

Compatibility & Fit

Designed for 700c road and gravel bikes with thru-axle dropouts. Front axle: 12×100mm. Rear axle: 12×142mm. Rotor mount: Centre-Lock (ISO adapter available separately for 6-bolt frames). Freehub accepts Shimano HG 11-speed and 12-speed road cassettes. Recommended tyre width: 25–32c. Rim tape and tubeless valves included.
