New wheel system from DT Swiss
Multiple innovations
The hub is now separated into a housing and two flanges. At each end of this housing there is a flange that accommodates a spoking pattern of crossed and radial (straight) spokes. This ensures ideal lateral stiffness and better torque transmission. Thanks to new rim inserts that are simply inserted into the back of the rim, the rim has been made airtight and is therefore Tubless-Ready (tubeless-ready). DT Swiss is offering a tubeless rim for the first time. Previously, a tubless kit had to be used if required. Straight double-threaded spokes are now also used, which are screwed into these flanges and rim inserts. This makes them much more durable. In addition, the Torx design of the two spoke nipples enables better power transmission of the tool during adjustment. A concave rim flank counteracts the spreading forces generated by the tire pressure and spoke tension. All of these innovations are carefully coordinated with each other and provide maximum stiffness and stability with the lowest possible weight.
"Ratchet System" for a wide range of applications
The "Ratchet System" hub system enables easy conversion to different axle or rotor standards. The mountain bike wheelset is available with a quick release or 15 millimeter thru-axle system at the front, while a quick release and 12 millimeter axle (Syntace X-12) are available at the rear. The "RR 1450 Tricon" racing set is available as Shimano and Campagnolo standard at the rear.
