DT Swiss adapts the freewheels to eleven-speed sprockets
The hubs from DT Swiss are adaptable: the product can be quickly adapted to different standards using interchangeable end stops or freewheels. And now new standards are being introduced:
Suitable for Srams XX1
Julia Sigert, Marketing and Communications Coordinator at DT Swiss, announces the possibility of adapting all mountain bike wheels and hubs based on a toothed pulley freehub system to the XX1 drivetrain from Sram with a new freehub.
There are three rotor kits available for this (135/5mm for quick release, 135/10mm for Thru Bolt, 142/12 Thru Axle).
The following 2013 wheels can be converted to accommodate the XX1 cassette: XM 1550 Tricon, XM 1550 Tricon 29, M 1700 Tricon, FX 1950 Tricon, XR 1450 Spline, XR 1450 Spline 29, M 1700 Spline, M 1700 Spline 650b, XRC 950 T, XRC 950 T29, XRC 1150, XRC 1350, EXC 1550, EC 1750, E200
Suitable for Shimano's Dura Ace
DT Swiss is also keeping up with the upgrade from Shimano's Dura Ace groupset to eleven sprockets on the rear wheel: all DT Swiss products suitable for Shimano 10-speed road bikes and based on toothed pulley freewheels, i.e. hubs and complete wheels, can be adapted to Shimano 11-speed drivetrains with a rotor kit.
Adaptation to 11-speed is not possible for Dicut road system wheels from model year 2011. For the 2013 model year, the Biel-based company is installing 11-speed on the road system wheels (RRD 32 Dicut C, RRC 32 Dicut T, RRC 46 Dicut C, RRC 46 Dicut T, RRC 66 Dicut C, RRC 66 Dicut T, RRC disc Dicut T, RRC disc Diuct C, RR 21 Dicut, RR 1450 Tricon, R 1700 Tricon, RC 38 Spline T, R 23 Spline, R 28 Spline) have an 11-speed body and include a spacer ring so that this freewheel also works in 10-speed mode.
