The Shimano Dura-Ace WH-R9100-C24-CL is a race-ready carbon clincher front wheel engineered for riders who demand the lightest, stiffest platform available. Combining a carbon/aluminium laminate rim with a precision 16-spoke radial build, it delivers exceptional power transfer and climbing performance without sacrificing the reliability of a proven aluminium braking surface.
Highlights
- Carbon/aluminium laminate rim construction — low weight with a durable alloy braking surface
- 21mm rim depth — aerodynamic profile without the crosswind sensitivity of deeper sections
- 16 straight-pull bladed spokes, radially laced — maximum rigidity and minimal rotational weight
- Wide-flange hub with oversized alloy axle for high lateral stiffness and efficient power transfer
- Angular contact bearings with labyrinth seals for smooth, low-friction rolling
- 700c clincher rim, compatible with 23–28mm tyres
- Quick release axle, 100mm over-locknut dimension
Carbon Laminate Rim Technology
The C24 rim pairs a carbon fibre body with an aluminium braking track bonded into the structure. This hybrid approach keeps the rim profile light and stiff while providing a consistent, heat-tolerant braking surface that works with standard brake pads — no special carbon-specific compound required. The external rim width of 20.8mm and 15mm internal width suit modern 23–28mm clincher tyres, promoting a natural tyre profile for improved cornering grip and rolling efficiency.
Hub & Bearing Precision
The Dura-Ace hub features a wide flange design and an oversized alloy axle that resists flex under hard cornering loads. Angular contact bearings finished with Shimano's CBN (Cubic Boron Nitride) process on the cup and cone surfaces provide exceptionally smooth rotation and long service life. The Digital Cone Bearing Adjustment system allows precise preload setting without special tools, keeping the wheel spinning true over thousands of kilometres.
Compatibility & Fit
The WH-R9100-C24-CL-F is a rim brake front wheel designed for standard 100mm quick release road forks. It accepts 700c clincher tyres in 23–28mm widths. This is a front wheel only — sold as a single wheel. Compatible with Shimano Dura-Ace R9100 groupset and any road rim brake system using standard brake pad holders.
