Shimano DURA-ACE Has Evolved.
The fastest riders in the world don't get second chances.
When every watt matters, every aerodynamic advantage counts.
Developed in secret with WorldTour teams throughout the 2026 season, the all-new Shimano DURA-ACE WH-R9370-C60-TL made its public debut after being raced as a prototype throughout the Tour de France, including victory on the Champs-Élysées aboard Mathieu van der Poel's Canyon Aeroad. Shimano has now officially unveiled the wheelset that many considered one of the Tour's biggest hidden performance upgrades.
Now they're available from The Endurance Hub.
Built For Pure Speed
If your riding revolves around:
- Fast road races
- Flat sportives
- Breakaways
- Solo attacks
- Time spent in the wind
- Sprint finishes
…the new C60 is exactly where Shimano wants you to be.
The 60mm rim profile offers exceptional aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining impressive stability and stiffness, giving riders confidence whether they're attacking at 50km/h or launching the final sprint.
Developed With The World's Best
Rather than designing these wheels in a laboratory alone, Shimano spent months developing them with WorldTour professionals and elite triathletes.
During the Tour de France the wheels were deliberately left unbranded while riders gathered real-world feedback before the official launch.
That testing has produced one of Shimano's biggest wheel updates in years.
What's New?
Carbon Aero Spokes
For the first time, Shimano introduces engineered carbon spokes into its DURA-ACE wheel range.
The benefits are immediate:
• Lower rotating weight
• Greater lateral stiffness
• Faster acceleration
• Improved aerodynamic performance
• Exceptional power transfer during hard efforts
Shimano uses proprietary aero spoke profiles rather than off-the-shelf designs, helping deliver maximum stiffness without compromising durability.
Wider Modern Rim
The new wheel follows modern tyre development perfectly.
23mm Internal Width
Optimised for:
- 28mm tyres
- 30mm tyres
This creates:
✔ Better tyre support
✔ Lower rolling resistance
✔ Improved comfort
✔ Increased grip
✔ Reduced aerodynamic drag
Exactly what today's professional riders are choosing.
New Hub Design
Shimano has retained one of cycling's best-kept secrets...
Their famous Cup & Cone bearings.
Unlike sealed cartridge bearings, Shimano's adjustable system allows incredibly smooth rolling while remaining serviceable for years.
The new generation now includes:
- Improved waterproof sealing
- Replaceable bearing races
- Lower bearing friction
- Better durability
- Optimised rotational torque under real riding loads
It's classic Shimano engineering—only better.
Aero Gains That Matter
Shimano claims the new wheels save up to 2.7 watts compared with the previous generation while also cutting significant weight through the use of carbon spokes and revised rim construction.
That means:
- Faster average speeds
- Easier breakaways
- Better sprint performance
- Free speed without extra effort
Stiff Where It Counts
The C60 isn't simply lighter.
It's noticeably stiffer.
Wide hub flange spacing combined with Shimano's carbon spoke layout delivers outstanding lateral rigidity, ensuring your power goes straight into forward motion.
Perfect for:
- Powerful climbers
- Sprinters
- Triathletes
- Time trial riders
- Heavier riders
