The Shimano 105 WH-RS330 is a 700c clincher rear wheel built for everyday road riding and long-term training. Drawing on trickle-down technology from Dura-Ace and Ultegra, it combines a 30mm deep alloy rim with Shimano's proven cup and cone bearing hubs to deliver reliable, smooth performance kilometre after kilometre.

Highlights

  • 30mm alloy rim: balances a light aero profile with the structural depth needed for confident descending and crosswind stability.
  • OPTBAL 2:1 lacing: 21 rear spokes arranged 14 drive-side / 7 non-drive-side for even tension distribution and a stiffer, more durable wheel build.
  • Double-butted aero spokes: stainless steel bladed spokes with oversized alloy nipples reduce weight and improve aerodynamics without sacrificing strength.
  • Shimano cup and cone bearings: angular contact design displaces lateral and vertical loads efficiently — smooth, durable, and fully serviceable at home.
  • 11-speed HG freehub: ready for Shimano 11-speed drivetrains out of the box; compatible with 8/9/10-speed with the included freehub spacer.
  • Clincher tyre compatibility: works with standard clincher or folding tyres and inner tubes — easy to fit and repair on the road.

Built for Training, Refined by Racing

Shimano engineered the WH-RS330 with durability as the primary goal. The 30mm rim profile provides enough aerodynamic benefit for spirited riding while remaining practical for everyday use. The wide flange spacing on the hub improves lateral stiffness, giving the wheel a direct, responsive feel underfoot. Cam-action quick-release skewers are included for secure, tool-free wheel changes.
