Why We Like The Shimano Dure-Ace WH-R9270 C36 Carbon Road Wheelset
Built for quick accelerations with noticeable aero gains, the new Dura-Ace R9270 C36 wheelset offers great all-around performance without sacrificing head and crosswind stability. The all-new C36 design shaves mass at every opportunity but especially at the rim. The result is a wheel that gets up to speed quickly thanks to reduced rotational weight.
Both the carbon rim and carbon hub are lighter than previous generations of Dura-Ace, so the C36 won't shy away from a day of climbing. The new rim is 36mm deep and still delivers good aerodynamic efficiency despite its gossamer weight. Meanwhile, the hub features an alloy freehub body and a new engagement mechanism for increased rigidity.

Great light weight wheelset!
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I bought these wheels a couple of weeks ago and installed them on my 2024 Trek Domane SL and liked them so much that I bought another set for my other Domane SLR. These wheels excel in acceleration, stability in the wind and especially when climbing! which I do alot of. The hubs are buttery smooth and whisper quiet which I love, not a fan of the loud ratcheting sound that most traditional hubs make. The wheels have been setup as tubeless with 78-80 psi in the rear and 72-75 psi for the front. If you're priorities when looking for a new wheelset is to climb like a mountain goat or spool up to speed quickly then you'd be hard press to find better wheels for the money, CC had them on sale recently, so it was a great deal and totally worth the upgrade!

Good Wheels
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer
Nice and light, roll true, but wish the rear hub was smoother. I’ve always judged wheels on how well the rear hub spins when it’s sitting in the stand and you free wheel it. These are sluggish and I can’t help but think it slows you down when riding. I’ve experienced the same thing with my Zipp 303, but I was hoping these would be better. Comparatively, my Hunt rear wheel will spin forever.
