The Shimano Dura-Ace R9270 C60 Tubular Rear Wheel is engineered for competitive road cyclists, sprinters, and time-trial specialists who prioritize aerodynamic efficiency and high-speed inertia. Featuring a 60mm deep carbon rim, this wheel offers exceptional rigidity for power transfer, though it requires a tubular tire setup and is exclusively compatible with 12-speed disc brake systems.

No, the R9270 series freehub body is designed exclusively for Shimano 12-speed road cassettes.
No, this is a tubular-specific rim and requires tubular tires that are glued or taped to the rim bed.
This wheel uses the modern 142mm x 12mm thru-axle standard.
The wheel uses a traditional cup-and-cone bearing system. You should occasionally check the preload and clean the races if the wheel starts to feel gritty.
While structurally sound, the 60mm rim profile is aerodynamically optimized for road racing rather than loose, technical gravel surfaces.
Adjust the cone-and-cup bearing preload using the appropriate cone wrenches to eliminate play without binding the rotation.
Check for debris near the engagement faces or inspect if the internal grease has become contaminated; clean and apply a thin layer of light grease if necessary.
Inspect the labyrinth seals for debris and verify that the Borozon bearing races are free of dirt ingress.
