DT Swiss opens up to the gravel market
With a rim height of 42 millimetres, the top model GRC 1400 Spline 40 offers good aerodynamics - and with an inner rim width of 24 millimetres, a good basis for tires wider than 35 millimetres. The experts at Swiss Side were on hand to help with the aerodynamics of the carbon rim, while the wheel construction is the work of everyone who is anyone at DT Swiss. These include Aero Comp straight-pull spokes with Pro Lock nipples and hubs with the tried and tested toothed disk freehub. Remarkable for the wheelset is the weight approval for 130kg, which indicates that the wheels should show clear taker qualities in heavy terrain and that the wheelset is also designed for intensive bikepacking adventures.
The DT Swiss GR 1600 Spline 25 is a high-quality mid-range wheel based on an aluminum rim with a height of 25 millimeters and an inner rim width of 24 millimeters. For the entry-level gravel class, there is the G 1800 Spline 25 wheelset. All gravel wheels are available in the dimensions 700C and 650b.
