The Shimano WH-R9370-C36-TL wheels are the pure climbers in the new Dura-Ace R9370 series. Their goal is to not waste a single watt, and their design is aimed at dynamic rides that involve frequent climbs and constant changes in pace. Think mountain stages, hilly touring routes and challenging local climbs.
Weighing 1172 grams, this is the lightest wheelset in the range. Thanks to the carbon spokes, the special front/rear spoke pattern and the purpose-built hub, Shimano keeps the system weight low without compromising on stiffness. Thus, the wheels remain highly responsive, which is essential as soon as you stand out of the saddle.
The entire Dura-Ace R9370 series has been developed in collaboration with WorldTour teams and professional triathletes, with the aim of achieving an ideal balance between stiffness, low weight and aerodynamics. Within this range, the C36 is the dedicated model for climbing.

Carbon spokes with a clever layout
The Dura-Ace C36 road bike wheels uses carbon spokes in a pattern of 18 at the front and 21 at the rear. This layout keeps the weight down while making the set stiff enough for rapid acceleration, which is exactly what you want when standing up on a climb.
Aerodynamically optimised rim
The 36 mm rim was developed using computer simulations; results were validated in the wind tunnel. According to Shimano, this rim is 7% more aerodynamic than the previous model. So, even on a climbing wheel you can cut through the air with a bit more ease.
Renewed cup & cone hubs
Shimano sticks with the adjustable cup & cone hub design, renowned for its smooth running and precise adjustment. You can adjust the play yourself to achieve exactly the feel you want. With replaceable bearing cups, an improved waterproof seal and good serviceability, the hub will last for years.
The Shimano WH-R9370-C36-TL disc brake wheelset is designed for road bikes. Check its compatibility below.
Compatible with:
• Road bikes with disc brakes and 12 mm thru-axles (100x12 mm front, 142x12 mm rear).
• Shimano 12-speed road bike cassettes (such as Dura-Ace R9200, Ultegra R8100 and 105 R7100).
• Disc brake rotors with the Center Lock mounting system.
• Tubeless tyres as well as standard folding and clincher tyres with inner tubes. The ideal tyre width is 28 mm to 30 mm.
Not compatible with:
• Shimano 11-speed (or 10-speed) cassettes.
• SRAM XDR or Campagnolo cassettes (Shimano does not produce separate sprocket bodies for other brands to fit these wheels).
• Bikes with rim brakes or quick-release axles.
• Disc brake rotors with a 6-bolt installation system (unless you use an adapter).
Not sure? Here’s how to check:
Take a close look at the cassette currently fitted to your bike: Count the number of sprockets at the rear to make sure you’re riding a 12-speed, and check that it says "Shimano" on it. Also measure the width of your current axles (the standard is 100 mm at the front and 142 mm at the rear).

Which freehub body comes with the Shimano Dura-Ace C36 wheels, and can I use a SRAM or Campagnolo cassette?
The Shimano WH-R9370-C36-TL comes with a freehub body designed for Shimano 12-speed cassettes, specifically the HG L2. If you’re using a SRAM or Campagnolo cassette, this is not the right wheelset for you because it only comes with the HG L2 freehub.
What is the axle size of the Shimano Dura-Ace C36 wheels?
The Shimano WH-R9370-C36-TL has a 12 mm thru-axle fit: 12x100 mm at the front and 12x142 mm at the rear. This means it fits virtually all modern disc-brake road bikes.
Are the Dura-Ace C36 wheels tubeless? And with what tyre sizes are they compatible?
Yes, the Shimano Dura-Ace C36 wheels are tubeless-ready and designed for best use with 28 to 30C tyres. The hooked rim supports a wide range of tyres, so you can ride tubeless (with tubeless valves and sealant) or use folding tyres with inner tubes. We recommend a modern tyre width of 28 to 32 mm for the best balance between comfort, grip and rolling resistance.
Which disc brake rotors do I need for the Shimano Dura-Ace C36 wheels?
The Shimano Dura-Ace C36 uses Center Lock disc brake rotors, which are not supplied as standard. Shimano Center Lock rotors (Dura-Ace or Ultegra) fit perfectly.
How much does the Dura-Ace C36 wheelset weigh?
The Shimano WH-R9370-C36-TL wheelset weighs 1172 grams in total: 523 grams for the front wheel and 649 grams for the rear wheel. This makes it the lightest set in the Dura-Ace R9370 series, designed for climbing.
What is the difference between the Shimano Dura-Ace C36 and the C50?
The Shimano Dura-Ace C36 wheels have a 36 mm rim depth and weigh 1172 grams as a pair - they are the lightest and most refined climbing wheels in the range. The Dura-Ace C50 wheels have deeper rims (50 mm), are slightly heavier (1,302 grams as a pair), and are the all-rounders that excel at everything. If you do a lot of climbing and find it important to count every gram, go for the C36. If you want a single set for all your rides, from training to races on the flat, the C50 is the more versatile choice.
