Product Details

Description

The Shimano Ultegra C50 Tubeless Carbon Rear Wheel is designed for versatility, making it ideal for various riding styles. Extensive testing in wind tunnels and on roads has optimized its aerodynamics, rigidity, and weight. This wheel excels in climbing, high-speed breakaways, and group rides due to its increased rigidity and unique design, which balances weight towards the edges. The D2 wheel technology and 50mm profile enhance lateral stiffness, vertical compliance, and aerodynamics, offering better control and comfort on all surfaces. A redesigned direct engagement system improves drivetrain efficiency and reduces acceleration energy, making it easier to get moving with just one pedal stroke. Perfect for those looking to upgrade their carbon wheels or save energy on long rides.

Aerodynamic Profile

The C50 wheels feature a deep, 50mm dish combined with Shimano's all-new D2 rim design to offer increased stability at all yaw angles. While simultaneously reducing drag - you can expect an average saving of 5W over comparative carbon wheel models.

E-Thru Axle

The E-Thru Axle reduces weight and optimises rigidity for increased stiffness resulting in sharp cornering and smooth rolling at all speeds.

Direct Engagement Hub

The C50 has a redesigned direct engagement hub that increases drivetrain rigidity and results in a smooth and more efficient transfer of energy. The result is instant engagement meaning less wasted energy when starting your ride or accelerating away from the bunch!
