While Tadej Pogačar and Lotte Kopecky stole the headlines at the Tour of Flanders this spring, Shimano’s new C60 wheel slipped largely under the radar. The unbranded hub and rim looked new, but more interestingly the pictures showed what looked like a carbon spoke. A component that the Japanese manufacturing giant had stayed away from until now.
We contacted Shimano at the time and got this reply: “Rider feedback is a valuable process for Shimano, as we are constantly evaluating the performance of our products. That said however, we do not address speculation about our products, regardless of whether they are in development (or not).”
