Shimano GRX WH-RX180 Alloy Gravel Wheel Description:

The Shimano GRX WH-RX180 Alloy Gravel Wheel is a reliable and value packed upgrade for gravel and adventure bicycles. Tubeless-ready 25mm wide alloy rims are optimized for use with higher volume tires and will provide a smooth ride, excellent cornering grip, and enhanced flat protection especially when going over rough terrain. The alloy thru axle hubs feature widely spaced spoke flanges that improve the lateral strength and stiffness of the wheel, and industrial steel bearings are packed inside of the hub for long term reliability and performance. Butted stainless steel j-bend spokes are used to tie everything together, and these spokes not only reduce the rotating weight, they also add a touch of compliance to the ride and can be easily replaced if one should happen to get damaged. Finally, the tubeless valve core and rim tape are pre-installed so it is much easier to get these wheels set up on the bike so a rider can quickly get back to having a great time on the trails.

Features:

• Alloy rim construction is lightweight, stiff, and strong
• Hooked, tubeless-ready rim design with 25mm inner rim width provides excellent support for modern high volume gravel and adventure tires; optimized for tire size 32 to 50mm
• Traditional j-bend stainless steel spokes, rugged bearings, and replaceable freehub bodies are easier to maintain and are easily serviced/replaced for enhanced wheel longevity
• Thru-axle hubs improve lateral rigidity for better handling and is very easy to consistently insert the wheel into the bike so the brake rotor does not rub inside the brake caliper
• Centerlock brake interface is lightweight and secure, and is compatible with many rotors
• Rear wheel/wheelsets are available with a Shimano HG freehub that works with 10-12 speed Shimano HG-style cassettes or with a Shimano Microspline freehub that works with 12-speed Microspline-style cassettes
