"BR 2250" is the name of the latest offspring from DT Swiss. "BR" stands for Big Ride and indicates the fat bike application area, while the weight is integrated into the name with "2250". These 2250 grams are an announcement for the wheelset; the weight, which is remarkably low for the vehicle category, is achieved by massive recesses in the rim bed. The rim looks like Emmental cheese, but with numerous chic, milled triangles. The rim tape is already fitted to the wheelset when the customer receives the product.

The rim, which has a unique look, has an inner width of 76 millimetres and accommodates 32 spokes per wheel. DT Swiss does not experiment with the hubs and relies on the durable and lightweight spur-toothed freehub. Brake discs fit best in centerlock format on the "BR 2250", if adapters for 6-hole discs are also included in the scope of delivery.

Esther Suess took her victory on the "BR 2250" at the Snow Epic - and Ride took delivery of one of the very first "BR 2250" wheelsets at the Fatbike Festival in Engelberg. The fat wheels are currently being put through their paces, the Ride test of the "BR 2250" will be available to read shortly.
