Road Tubeless On A Budget

The durable Ultegra-level WH-RS500 Tubeless Wheelset adds to Shimano’s current lineup and brings road tubeless to the masses, weighing in at just 1649 grams and built for rim brake use.

The ability to run lower pressures and the increased flat prevention gravel and MTB riders enjoy has not gone unnoticed. While it’s been a little bit slower to catch on with the road set, more road tubeless tires are currently available, and the technology, materials, and reliability have vastly improved. Shimano has been on the forefront of road tubeless know-how from the get-go and the Japanese bicycle component manufacturer has been delivering tubeless road wheel options for over a decade.
