📖 DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The Vision SC (Service Course) series represents the pinnacle of aero technology brought to daily riding and racing. The Vision SC 60 i23 TLR Wheelset – Shimano HG elevates the line’s aerodynamic prowess thanks to a redesigned, wider rim profile that integrates seamlessly with modern disc-brake tire standards.

Superior Aerodynamics and i23 Profile

The 60 mm full-carbon rim profile was refined through extensive CFD analysis and wind-tunnel testing. The real evolution lies in the 23 mm internal width (i23): this expanded channel allows wider tires (such as 28mm or 30mm) to seat with a natural, rounded profile, creating a seamless aerodynamic transition from tire sidewall to rim edge. The result? Reduced rolling resistance, superior cornering grip, and significantly improved stability in crosswinds.

Race-Proven Hubs and Spoking

At the heart of the Vision SC 60 i23 TLR wheelset are precision CNC-machined disc hubs with Center Lock fitment. Spinning inside are 4 sealed cartridge bearings (2 front, 4 rear) mounted on a 17 mm axle to eliminate torsional flex. The aero bladed spokes (24 front / 24 rear) feature a 2:1 lacing pattern to balance braking forces and power transfer across the Shimano HG freehub.

Handbuilt Precision

Every Vision SC wheel is laced, tensioned, and trued entirely by hand by expert technicians. The use of ABS (Artisan Binding System) self-locking nipples prevents gradual spoke loosening over time, ensuring the wheels maintain their original factory trueness and stiffness for thousands of kilometers.

🔗 BIKE & COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY

• Drivetrains: Compatible with all Shimano and SRAM 10, 11, and 12-speed road cassettes (standard Shimano HG splines).

• Braking System: Exclusively for disc brake frames and forks (Center Lock rotor mount).

• Thru-Axles: Front TA-12 (12x100 mm) / Rear TA-12 (12x142 mm).

• Tires: Tubeless Ready (TLR) or Clincher (with inner tubes). Suitable for tire widths from 28 mm up to 40 mm.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

Q: Is the Shimano HG freehub body compatible with new 12-speed Shimano road cassettes?

A: Yes! The Shimano HG freehub body fits both 11-speed Shimano road cassettes and current 12-speed Shimano road cassettes (e.g., Ultegra R8100, Dura-Ace R9200, 105 R7100).

Q: What is the difference between the older SC 55 and this new Vision SC 60 i23 TLR?

A: The new Vision SC 60 i23 TLR features an updated 60 mm aerodynamic depth and, most importantly, a wider 23 mm internal channel (up from 19 mm), optimized for modern 28 mm and 30 mm tires for better comfort, traction, and reduced rolling resistance.

Q: Do they come with tubeless tape and valves pre-installed?

A: Yes, the wheels arrive from the factory tubeless-ready, complete with tubeless rim tape and dedicated tubeless valves.

Q: Can I use them with traditional inner tubes?

A: Absolutely. While they are TLR (Tubeless Ready), the rims feature a hooked profile that allows for standard clincher tires with inner tubes.
