The Shimano WH-RS171 wheelset is specifically designed for use in road cycling and offers a combination of lightness and performance. With a wide 19C rim, it optimizes performance with wider tires, leading to improved stability and control on the road. Compared to its predecessor, the WH-RS170, the WH-RS171 is over 100 g lighter per wheel, contributing to the overall weight reduction of the bike. The rims are made from high-quality aluminum, providing the proven Shimano quality and technology. The set comes with a rim tape but is not tubeless-ready, which should be considered when selecting tires. The wheels are equipped with an axle system that allows for easy installation and removal and are compatible with disc brakes featuring a Center Lock.
