DT Swiss expands Tricon range

For the 2012 season, the DT Swiss Tricon series is getting a big addition to the family with the "FX 1950 Tricon"

.

The new freeride wheelset weighs in at around 1980 grams and comes with a 30-hole rim with an outer width of 30 mm, which can be ridden tubeless. The rims are covered using "Waterslide" technology, which not only looks classy, but is also said to be more resistant than the previous stickers. The stickers are applied wet, placed and then "baked". The lightweight 240 hubs are used, which for the first time also offer the axle standards 20x110 millimetres at the front and 12x150 millimetres at the rear. In terms of color, DT Swiss sets accents, the wheelset will be available from September in the color combination black-light green.

The Tricon family will also be extended by a 29er wheelset. The "XM 1550 Tricon 29er" model is the 29er version of the "XM 1550 Tricon" and will also be available from September.
With two new forks, a 100 and a 120 millimeter "XMM" version, DT Swiss rounds off the 29er range in a trend-oriented way.
