The high-end carbon rim offers phenomenal handling. It is very light and robust, delivers optimum performance on descents and has the ideal characteristics on the mountain. Thanks to the hookless design - without a rim flange - the rim is extremely puncture-resistant and stable despite its very low weight. At the same time, the 24 millimetre rim width provides excellent support for the tire in the rim well and thus optimizes the tubeless properties.

The new SPLINE® hub is the lightest wheel hub ever built by DT Swiss. Together with the proven DT-aerolite® and DT-aero comp® spokes and the carbon rim, it forms an ideal trail wheel. The lightweight aluminium hub shell is further enhanced by high-quality Waterslide decals and a double anodized finish.
Inside the rear hub, the patented and high-precision sprocket system guarantees maximum resilience and reliability. Thanks to the no-tool concept, end caps and rotors can be converted to different axle standards without tools thanks to the plug-in system. This means that the hub can be serviced quickly and easily if necessary.
