Ultegra Puts The Plus In Road-Plus
Intended for the hills, the new lightweight Shimano Ultegra WH-R8170 C36-TL Carbon Disc Road Wheelset brings modern road tubeless design, low-mid profile carbon rims and disc braking to your road bike. The 36mm depth rim does more to cut through wind than our training wheels while the carbon construction easily supports tires up to 38mm in width.
The new Ultegra carbon disc wheel release consisting of the C36, C50, and C60 wheelsets was created to compliment Shimano's new 12-speed groupset but is conveniently reverse-compatible with Shimano's 11-speed as well, providing maximum flexibility across a wider range of drivetrains.

- 700c Carbon rim wheelset for tubeless use
- Carbon construction is stiff and lightweight
- 36mm depth for spinning the wheels up to speed quickly

Reviews
My first set of carbon fiber wheels and I have been extremely pleased. Much lighter and more comfortable than the stock wheelset with a noticeable difference in climbing and accelerating. What I like about Shimano is the whisper quiet rear hub. I am an avid recreational/fitness rider and will use these as my spring/summer/fall wheelset and save the stock wheels for winter use. Great value from BTD with a nice discount.
They call this 36mm size a climbing wheel, but with big Midwest crosswinds here, these wheels are the perfect choice for all around riding too. Light and fast on the transitions and rock solid. I ride 130 to 170 miles a week, and these wheels have livened up my solo workouts and group rides. I also use them on gravel running 32mm Continental 5000 TR tires at 50psi. These wheels are the perfect blend of size, quality and appearance (the subtle graphics really pop with transparent tires). I expect to be riding these wheels for many years.
