With an all-new design, Dura-Ace BR-R9270 hydraulic calipers are the most compact yet. The mono-body construction ensures light weight and rigidity, proving that good things can come in small packages. With an all-new mono-body construction design, high-performance braking has reached a new peak. The BR-R9270 caliper drops weight while also providing increased pad clearance, ensuring a quieter ride. Lastly, a new bleeding process makes maintenance easier than ever. Durable, Lightweight and Stylish Caliper Body Shimano's mono-body caliper is machined from a single cold-forged block in order to maximize stiffness. A perfect balance of stiffness and weight, the mono-body caliper is a component of our linear response hydraulic disc brake system. Linear response equals strong power and superb controllability. ICE Brake Fade Technology The fade, which can occur to the disc brake rotor and pad when braking on a long downhill ride, for instance, has a negative impact on the braking performance. Shimano has adopted Ice Technologies disc brake rotor and ICE Technologies pad to realize the cooling technology for consistent performance. The clad disc brake rotor blade, which has a 3 layer-sandwich structure of stainless steel, aluminium and stainless steel, provides better radiation performance. Also, the radiation fin has been adopted for the pad. Moreover, the clad disc brake rotor blade and the radiator fin provide long pad life, less noise, less fade and lightweight. Easy and Efficiency One Way Bleeding Brake Maintenance “One Way Bleeding” was developed for quick and easy prevention of air in our hydraulic system. Shimano has streamlined the oil route throughout the system to prevent air bubbles from being captured in the system.
Shimano Dura-Ace R9270 C36 Carbon CL Disc WheelThe Dura-Ace R9270 C36 Carbon CL Disc Wheel from Shimano is a Tubeless Ready mid-depth-profile wheel that's versatile for steep climbs, fast sprints and long days in the saddle. It features a 36mm-profile full-carbon rim and a Centre Lock disc rotor mount while being compatible with 12mm E-Thru axles, this race-ready wheel is fast, aerodynamic and stable for road racing anywhere.With stunning acceleration, the new Dura-Ace R9270 C36 wheelset will change the way you experience climbs, corners, even stoplights. This is because it isn't just how much a wheel weighs but where the weight is on the wheel that matters. The all-new C36 design shaves mass at every opportunity but especially at the rim. The result is a lively wheelset that can transform your ride. Lighter, Wider and Faster Carbon Road Race WheelWith both a lighter, wider all-carbon rim and a lighter hub, the new Dura-Ace C36 won't shy away from a day of climbing. The new rim is 36 mm 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. Centre-Lock Disc Rotor MountThe Centre Lock system makes an easy rotor installation possible with a spline mount and a lock ring. The lock ring mounting system reduces the total working hours by shortening the amount of time of both installation and de-installation. In addition, the secure fixing by the spline mount enhances precision and rigidity while improving braking efficiency. D2 Aerodynamic Rim ProfileAerodynamic performance is affected by wind direction. To create the D2 rim, Shimano engineers considered both frontal and crosswinds, aiming to achieve optimal performance in real-world riding conditions. Extensive prototype testing, in the wind tunnel and on the road, proved that a wide rim shape with a deep tire bed performs best across a wide range of conditions. At yaw angles ranging from 0 to 15 degrees, the Shimano D2 rim profile reduces air drag better than others aero shape rims. This rim design also boosts lateral wheel stiffness and offers improved vertical compliance for increased control, comfort and durability on the road. Rear Wheel OPTBAL Spoke SystemThe OPTBAL rear wheel spoke system features 21 spokes—14 on the drive side and 7 on the non-drive side. Cassette spacing in today's wheels produces unbalanced tension in traditional 1:1 spoke systems. This unbalance is intensified with the 11-speed cassette, producing nearly double the tension on the drive side spokes. Generally, high and low tension spokes have respectively tendency toward breaking down and coming loose spoke nipples. Unbalanced tension affects durability and strength. The OPTBAL design rebalances spoke tension, enhancing wheel rigidity and strength for a more durable wheel. Shimano E-Thru Axle SystemThe tool-less type thru-axle skewer system optimizes rigidity and weight balance and enables easy operation with a reliable internal cam mechanism. The 15 mm thru-axle system is 15% stiffer torsionally and 25% stiffer in transverse shear than a traditional 9 mm quick release front axle system. High rigidity is secured while keeping the optimum weight balance. The E-Thru axle hub system minimizes the distortion of suspension while maintaining lightweight for riding around sharp corners at high speed. Features: Series: Dura-Ace R9200 Series 36 mm height Full Carbon Internal rim width: 21mm Disc Brake Mount: Centre Lock Disc D2 Aerodynamic rim profile Axle System: 12 mm E-Thru / Hub Spacing (O.L.D.): Front: 100mm; Rear: 142mm Freehub: Shimano 12-Speed (Compatible only with Shimano road 12-Speed cassette sprockets) Tyre Type: Clincher Tubeless Recommended Tyre Size: 25-622 - 32-622 Weight: 730g (rear); 620g (front)A 2-year warranty is offered with all Shimano products from Chain Reaction Cycles (3 years on Dura-Ace and XTR products).Buy Shimano Components from Chain Reaction Cycles, the World's Largest Online Bike Store.
