p>The Shimano RS710 C46 disc-brake wheelset, along with the shallower C32, represents the Japanese-component maker’s most affordable carbon wheelset for the road ever. But, despite coming in at a more affordable price point, this wheelset offers heaps of performance benefits. As is usual for Shimano, they have used their experience in manufacturing their more premium Dura-Ace and Ultegra lines, to produce a set of wheels that offers excellent aerodynamic advantage.

 

A Speedy, All-Round Wheelset

As the name suggests, the Shimano RS710 C46 boasts a 46mm-deep rim. At this depth, this is a rim clearly intended for going fast. Whether you want a wheel for racing or tackling fast bunch rides, you’ll have all the aerodynamic advantage you need. That being said, the wheels are not overly deep, making them versatile and easier to manage in windy conditions.

What’s more, at a respectable 1,607g for the set the Shimano RS710 C46 is not overly weighty, especially for a rim of such depth. Meaning that if you need an all-round wheelset to tackle Alpine climbs, as well as fast and flat rides, then you won’t feel too bogged down.

Wider Rims, More Speed

As you’d expect from the cutting-edge-component makers, Shimano are on trend in terms of wheel width. The rim profile on these hoops is wider than any other of the company’s wheel at this level (except the related C32, of course), this means that they’ll seat a wider (and tubeless) tyre. The benefit of this width is that you can run your tyres at lower pressures. With a lower pressure and a wider tyre—in contrast to previously accepted wisdom—you’ll experience less rolling resistance, which ultimately translates to more speed for less effort. There are aerodynamic benefits to be had too: a wider tyre will work more effectively with a wider rim in terms of aerodynamic performance, again offering you more speed for less effort.

Disc Braking

The Shimano RS710 C46 have been designed with hydraulic disc-brakes in mind. With the latest disc brakes employed you’ll benefit fully from the stopping power on offer from this system. There’s a number of advantages to disc braking, many of which are now widely known. For one, the braking performance is more consistent, especially in the wet. You’ll have better modulation and control when breaking. Also, you won’t have to worry about your rims overheating on long and/or steep descents, or eroding your expensive rims with every pull of the break lever.

Shimano have also retained the cup-and-cone style bearings for the hub. This system is tried-and-tested across a number of the company’s wheelsets, and is well-regarded for its simplicity and reliability.

So if it’s a carbon wheelset that’s optimised for aerodynamic advantage, but remains reliable, then the Shimano RS710 C46 is the well-worth consideration.
