SHIMPO RK-3D is responsive, high torque at all speeds, powerful and quiet. It is very quiet even it is under high speed. This wheel is by far the quietest on the market.

It’s reversible, and the steel body is durable under all conditions. A 304 mm wheel-head and two-piece splash pan are included as standard features.
