Pros & Cons
Pros & Cons
- The rims being made of carbon adds to their stiffness and low weight.
- The 25 mm inner rim width ensures a very generous tyre clearance: the wheels can fit tyre widths from 32 to 50 mm!
- Thanks to straightpull spokes, there is no weak spot in single spokes and the chance of spoke breakage is slim.
- With adjustable cup&cone bearings in the hub, the wheels are easy to maintain and have the lowest resistance.
- Cup&cone bearings require slightly more regular maintenance.

The GRX 870 gravel wheels are the first GRX wheels with carbon rims. These are wide to accommodate today's gravel tyres. As for the hubs, Shimano selected the familiar cup&cone mechanism for the lowest resistance and easiest maintenance.
Carbon rims
Shimano has extensively analysed the relationship between tyre size, rim width, air pressure and lateral stiffness. This research has resulted in an optimal rim width of 25 mm that allows for 32 - 50 mm tyre widths. Thanks to this precision tuning, you will enjoy excellent stability even at low air pressure. Thus, the wheels give you absolute confidence when cornering and high traction on all surfaces. The rims being made of carbon adds to their stiffness and very low weight
Cup & cone hubs
In these GRX WH-RX870 gravel wheels, Shimano uses the familiar cup&cone mechanism with adjustable bearings. This type of bearing has the lowest resistance and is very easy to maintain. If maintained timely and properly, the bearings will have an extremely long life. The straightpull spokes, unlike J-bend spokes, have no curvature, which is a potential weak point. By eliminating this weak point, the chance of a spoke breaking is reduced.
