Pros & Cons
- The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc wheels with 36 mm high rims are versatile, and absolutely suitable for use in the mountains.
- The wind has almost no effect on these wheels, making them feel wonderfully playful when going uphill as well as on steep descents.
- The Ultegra R8170 Disc wheels respond instantly when going into a corner and let you accelerate easily when coming out of it.
- As these wheels are tubeless compatible, the risk of a flat tyre is minimised when you ride with tubeless tyres and latex.
- At 1481 grams this set is very lightweight compared to other wheels for disc brakes in this price class.
- The system of the cup & cone hubs is durable provided that you re-grease it on a regular basis.

Description
Description
The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc wheels are very versatile thanks to the low carbon rim profile. But they also have good properties for climbing. A low rim ensures less rotating mass, which makes it easier to get up to speed after a turn or during a sprint. The low weight of the Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc wheelset will also make it easier and faster to ride uphill.
Driving characteristics
The Shimano Ultegra R8170 C36 Disc wheels have a playful feel to them. The low-profile carbon rims combined with the direct engagement system make them extremely responsive. This ensures a faster engagement moment of the body. Wind is actually no longer an issue thanks to a wide rim of 28mm externally, which makes a 28mm outer tyre fit perfectly. On descents they do exactly what you want them to do - turn in sharply and get going quickly after a turn.
Aerodynamics
Although the medium 36mm rims may not be that deep, there are definite advantages to the wide U-shape rims. Air resistance is significantly lower with a rim of this depth. The wind has virtually no control over them, allowing you to focus more on what is happening in front of you. Without having to make corrections. This aerodynamic gain is achieved while maintaining other properties such as stiffness, comfort and control.
Stiffness
To achieve higher stiffness, the 2:1 spoke pattern has been added to the front wheel. Thicker spokes of 1.8mm are used for more stiffness without compromising on weight. Stiffer riding characteristics are enhanced by increasing the immediate pedalling feel when accelerating. For this purpose the Direct Engagement system has been developed and added to the rear hub. And power transmission has been increased by 63% in efficiency.

Very nice wheel, tyres go on fairly easily, tlr without further fuss. Bearings are servicable, which is nice but something to watch out for when changing.
