RX880 gravel tuned 12-speed 700c tubeless wheelset offering all the technology of Shimano wheels balancing the best combination of rim weight and strength to deliver an exceptional gravel wheelset.
Shimano RX880 carbon wheels are 64 grams lighter per pair than their predecessors and feature the same shallow 32mm rim height for faster acceleration and quicker climbing. The low profile also ensures better control in cross winds, and these tubeless wheels employ a modern 25mm inner rim width suitable for tires up to 50mm wide. Borrowing from Dura-Ace wheels, the RX880 receives a Direct Engagement freehub construction for added driving rigidity.
