Carbon fiber products have so far involved a lot of manual work: layer by layer of carbon fiber materials are cut to size and - like a puzzle - placed in the mould, where adhesive and heat are then added. The carbon part then usually has to be reworked and perfected by hand.

T DT Swiss has now launched a new, so-called mold, which is designed to ensure that the rim comes out of the mold perfectly and requires no reworking. DT Swiss then scans the rims to identify and sort out any production errors.

Different carbon fiber layers and carbon fiber types are used, for example to make the rim flanks particularly stable and resistant.

The XRC 310 is DT Swiss's lightest carbon rim for cross-country use. The XMC 320 is an all-mountain counterpart and the EXC 330 is the rim for enduro bikes. Anyone who still manages to damage one of the new rims will receive a fair crash replacement offer of 179 euros.
