Shimano Dura Ace R9200 C60 Tubular Velgrem Road Bike Wheels

The Shimano Dura Ace R9200 C60 road bike wheels for rim brakes are to be used with tubes. Shimano has worked hard to optimise aerodynamics, stiffness and power transfer.

The Shimano Dura Ace R9200 C60 bicycle wheels have a 28 mm rim width, which makes them suitable for use with 25-28 mm tyre widths. This has decreased drag significantly. The wheels were designed specifically for time trial riders, triathletes and sprinters, and have higher rims, a stiffer spokes patters and thicker spokes than the C50 wheels. The direct engagement is impressive and ensures high responsiveness when accelerating.

Handling
The Shimano Dura Ace C60 wheels feel super comfortable on your bike. Whereas other high carbon wheels may require some getting used to in terms of stability in windy conditions and on descents, the Shimano Dura Ace wheels feel just right from the start. You hardly notice that you are riding with 60 mm wheels; they respond instantly with each acceleration and are perfect for climbing even with their 60 mm height. Likewise, during descents at high speeds there is no nervous sensation at all, and the wheels respond directly when cornering.

Stiffness
To increase stiffness, the front wheel has a 2:1 spokes pattern. Also, stronger spokes with a 1.8 mm thickness are used to optimise stiffness without compromising on weight. The stiffer handling is further enhanced by the improved direct pedal feel during acceleration. For this purpose, the Direct Engagement system was developed and included in the rear hub. Plus, power transfer is 63% more efficient in these wheels.

Weight
When it comes to rotational mass, every gram counts. Although the rims are now significantly wider, the team at Shimano have managed to make them lighter than their predecessors. A set of Shimano Dura Ace R9200 C50 wheels comes to a total weight of 1400 grams, then. You will feel this immediately when accelerating, climbing or riding at a steady speed with your Shimano Dura Ace wheels.
