Shimano WH-RS80 Carbon Laminate Clincher Front Road Wheel

High performance road racing wheel with carbon laminate technology to meet the demands of today's professional and amateur riders

Carbon and alloy laminate clincher rim is both light weight and rigid whilst maintaining high braking performance with standard brake pads

Low rim weight is achieved by reducing the alloy wall thickness to 0.7 mm, then a patent pending phosphoric acid anodizing process is used to bond the carbon fibre to the alloy giving an excellent combination of low weight, strength and rigidity

Added carbon reinforcement is applied around the spoke eyelets for increased durability under high load

16 front stainless steel butted and bladed straight pull spokes

High lateral rigidity is improved with a wide flangespacing

Labyrinth double contact sealing - low-friction seals effectively shut out water, mud and dirt without affecting rotational smoothness

Polished bearing races reduce friction and provide for smooth rotation

Cold forged and machined aluminium hub shell keep the wheel weight to a minimum

700C clincher compatible

Supplied with Q/R skewer
