Shimano Dura Ace R9270 C36 Disc Wheels

With amazing acceleration, the new DURA-ACE R9270 C36 wheels will change the way you tackle climbs, turns, and even traffic lights. That's because it's not just how much a wheel weighs that matters, but also how the weight is distributed. The C36's all-new design reduces volume wherever possible, but especially along the rim. The result is a lively wheel that can transform your bike.

With a lighter and wider all-carbon rim and a lighter hub, the new DURA-ACE C36 doesn't shy away from climbs. The new rim is 36 mm deep and offers good aerodynamic efficiency despite its very low weight. While the rear hub features an alloy body and a new attachment mechanism to increase rigidity.

D2 AERO PROFILE RIM
Aerodynamics is affected by the direction of vento. To create the new D2 rim, engineers at SHIMANO evaluated front and cross winds, with the goal of achieving optimal performance in the conditions actually encountered on the move. Extensive testing conducted on prototypes, in tunnels at vento and on the road, showed that a wider rim profile with a more pronounced throat provides the best performance in a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles between 0 and 15 degrees, the new rim profile SHIMANO D2 reduces air friction more than found for other aero rims. In addition, the new rim design increases the wheel's lateral stiffness and vertical absorption to provide greater control, comfort and durability on the road.
