WH-R9270-C36-TL Dura-Ace Wheel

Product Information

The Shimano Dura-Ace WH-R9270-C36-TL wheelset is engineered for riders who prioritize rapid acceleration and climbing efficiency. Shimano's design philosophy for these wheels focuses on reducing rotational weight at the rim, where it impacts responsiveness most significantly. This results in a lively feel that truly transforms your experience on ascents and quick accelerations out of corners.

Beyond just weight savings, the C36 also incorporates advanced technologies like the Direct Engagement freehub, ensuring every watt of your power translates immediately into forward motion without lag. While the 36mm rim depth is optimized for balanced performance, its D2 aerodynamic profile still provides measurable drag reduction across various yaw angles, making it a versatile choice for diverse road conditions.
