With durable hubs, low-friction seals, and Micro Spline or HG freehub options, this wheel balances performance, strength, and easy upkeep for real-world riding.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Tubeless-ready alloy clincher rim with 25mm internal width: Supports wider tyres for better air volume and grip. This improves comfort, control, and efficiency on rough gravel.
• 21mm rim height profile: Creates a strong yet lightweight structure. The outcome is a balanced wheel that handles fast acceleration and steady cornering.
• Centre Lock rotor mount system: Provides a quick, secure fit for disc rotors. This makes installation simple and ensures consistent braking performance.
• 24 stainless steel spokes: Delivers dependable stiffness and load distribution. This increases wheel strength while keeping weight low for responsive handling.
• Angular contact bearing hub design: Bearings cradle the balls to resist radial and lateral forces. This increases durability, ensures smooth running, and allows easy service.
• Labyrinth and contact sealing: Shields the hub from water, mud, and grit with minimal friction. The result is long-lasting smoothness in harsh riding conditions.
• Freehub options in Shimano Micro Spline or HG: Ensures compatibility with 12-speed or traditional cassettes. Riders gain flexibility and upgrade potential across drivetrains.

A well-built rear wheel must combine stability, strength, and serviceability. The RX180 meets these needs by pairing wide rims for gravel tyres with a hub engineered for longevity. With reliable sealing, robust spoke count, and Shimano’s proven freehub systems, it delivers consistent performance without unnecessary complexity.
