How to get the most out of your e-mountainbike

With e-mountain bikes, riders cover a lot of elevation and Elevation loss, average speeds are higher - especially uphill - than with their non-motorized counterparts and the bikes weigh significantly more. DT Swiss already responded to these demands in 2017 with the hybrid technology wheels. Now comes a substantial update.

The wheel set HXC 1501 Spline One has been chosen by the Biel-based wheel specialists as the top model in the hybrid line. The wheelset now has a carbon rim instead of an aluminum one. The hub bodies have also been given a new look, which should be able to transmit the drive and braking torques even better. Also on board is the Ratchet EXP OS freehub with 30 teeth, which enables drive forces to be transferred quickly and permanently to the ground. The spokes have also been updated, with reinforcements designed to make the wheel even more stable.

The focus of the update to the HX 1700 Spline wheelset is on the hub. This 350 model has a larger hub body, which improves the transmission of braking and drive forces as well as durability. The spokes and the welded rim have also been renewed. With two wheel sizes and two inner rim widths available, the HX 1700 Spline wheelset should cover a wide range of e-mountainbike applications.The H 1900 Spline wheelset has received a substantial upgrade in the center: the freehub is now based on DT Swiss' ratchet technology, which has long proven to be very efficient and durable, using a 370 hub.
