Shimano's most accessible carbon road wheel brings genuine performance heritage to everyday riders. The WH-RS710-C46-TL front wheel shares its development philosophy with DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA, delivering a 46mm deep-section CFRP rim that balances aerodynamic efficiency, stiffness, and all-day versatility — all in a tubeless-ready package built for modern disc-brake road bikes.

Highlights

  • Full carbon (CFRP) 46mm deep-section rim for aerodynamic performance
  • Tubeless-ready hooked rim — compatible with both tubeless and clincher tyres
  • 700c / 28" (622mm ETRTO) fitment for road and endurance bikes
  • 12x100mm front thru-axle for maximum stiffness and precise steering
  • Centrelock disc brake mount — works with Shimano SM-RT70 and SM-RT64 rotors
  • 24 bladed, double-butted stainless steel spokes with alloy nipples
  • Shimano cup-and-cone bearings with contact seals for long service life
  • Road 11-speed and 12-speed compatible
  • Includes tubeless rim tape pre-fitted

Carbon Rim Construction

The 46mm carbon rim profile uses a wide 28mm external / 21mm internal width that accommodates 25–32mm tyres — ideal for modern high-volume road setups. The deep D2 aero section reduces aerodynamic drag at speed, while the hooked bead design ensures secure tyre retention with both tubeless and traditional clincher setups. At 719g, the front wheel delivers genuine lightweight credentials without the premium of higher-tier Shimano carbon wheels.

Bladed Spokes & Serviceability

Twenty-four bladed, double-butted stainless steel spokes (2.0–1.6–2.0mm) are laced in a double-cross pattern to alloy nipples for a resilient, easily serviceable build. Shimano's well-known cup-and-cone bearing system with CBN-coated stainless steel contacts ensures smooth, long-lasting hub performance that any bike shop can service — an advantage over proprietary sealed-cartridge designs.
