The Shimano 105 WH-RS710-C46-TL brings full carbon wheel performance to a wider audience. Sharing its development philosophy with DURA-ACE and ULTEGRA, this 46mm deep-section carbon front wheel delivers genuine aerodynamic efficiency, stiffness, and tubeless versatility for disc-brake road bikes — without the premium of top-tier carbon wheels.

Highlights

  • Full carbon CFRP rim: 46mm deep-section profile balances aerodynamic efficiency with all-day versatility.
  • Tubeless-ready: Hooked bead design works with both tubeless and traditional clincher tyres for flexible setup options.
  • Wide rim profile: 28mm external / 21mm internal width accommodates 25–32mm tyres to suit modern road and endurance setups.
  • 12x100mm thru-axle: E-THRU front axle delivers maximum stiffness and precise steering response.
  • Centrelock disc mount: Compatible with Shimano Centrelock rotors for clean, powerful braking.
  • 24 bladed spokes: Double-butted stainless steel bladed spokes reduce aerodynamic drag and contribute to a resilient, serviceable build.
  • Shimano cup-and-cone bearings: Proven bearing system with contact seals for smooth, long-lasting performance and easy workshop servicing.
  • Lightweight front wheel: 719g for meaningful weight savings on climbs and accelerations.

Carbon Rim Construction

The WH-RS710-C46-TL rim uses a 46mm deep-section CFRP (carbon fibre reinforced polymer) profile with a 28mm external and 21mm internal width. The wide internal channel supports modern high-volume tyre fitment from 25c to 32c, improving ride comfort and rolling efficiency. The hooked bead design ensures secure tyre retention with both tubeless and clincher setups. Shimano includes tubeless rim tape pre-fitted, so you can run tubeless straight out of the box.

Spokes & Hub

Twenty-four bladed, double-butted stainless steel spokes (2.0–1.6–2.0mm) keep aerodynamic drag low while maintaining durability. Shimano's well-known cup-and-cone hub bearing system uses contact seals for reliable, long-service performance — and can be adjusted and serviced by any competent workshop, a practical advantage over proprietary sealed-cartridge systems.
