Ruedas PRO

When Shimano set out to build a wheel that matched the precision of Dura-Ace, they handed the project to PRO Wheels — the brand's performance component division — and the result is a focused range of carbon wheelsets engineered specifically for time trial and triathlon racing. The construction centers on TeXtreme® spread tow carbon fiber, an advanced layup process that delivers an unusually high stiffness-to-weight ratio by aligning fibers in wider, flatter tapes rather than traditional bundles. The 3-spoke front wheels provide the aerodynamic profile that matters most in solo efforts, while the disc-brake rear wheels run Dura-Ace 9000 hubs — matching the wheel's most mechanically loaded component to Shimano's flagship drivetrain spec. These wheels made their competitive debut at the Vuelta a España team time trial, which is a harder endorsement to argue with than any wind tunnel claim.
