Shimano Dura-Ace 7900 C24 wheels review

Shimano Dura-Ace C24 wheels
Cycling Weekly Verdict

Shimano has possibly produced the ultimate sportive wheel in the C24 tubeless. Light, stiff and strong but plenty comfortable, consistent braking from an alloy rim (also eliminating the need for specific pad compounds), and with a faster-rolling, more puncture-resistant, tubeless tyre you're left wanting for nothing. Especially at under £800. Contact: www.madison.co.uk Tubeless compatible front £369.99/rear £429.99/£799.98 per pair

Shimano's carbon laminate low-profile rim has proved its worth to us in the past, but this excellent all-rounder has recently been refined, and is now tubeless compatible too.

The rim thickness has been slimmed down, saving some weight (826g rear, 632g front, 1,458g pair) while strength and rigidity have been improved with a patented process used to bond the carbon-fibre to the alloy.
