DT Swiss PR 1400 Dicut 32 OXiC Tubeless Ready wheelset

PR 1400 Dicut 32 OXiC - a high-end aluminium DT Swiss racing wheelset with the ceramic OXiC surface coating

The OXiC technology wheel range is growing. Together with the extremely popular 21 mm low profile rim, the new PR 1400 Dicut 32 OXiC will be the pinnacle of aluminum road wheels. The ceramic OXiC surface coating gives rim brakes a whole new level of braking performance. The rims are wide, medium-profile and super strong, ensuring outstanding durability and reliability. A tubeless setup adds supreme comfort and grip to the athletic properties of this wheelset.

Technologies

Performance
#Leadtheride. Performance is the part of your energy that is brought to the road and that part is pretty big with DT Swiss Performance wheels. Just what you need when you are leading your buddies up epic mountain roads or when making the decisive move on the days last descent.

Tubeless
Tubeless ready DT Swiss rims have further advantages over conventional rims. The design of their cross section allows for the tyre to easily pop in place when inflated, and more often than not a standard floor pump is all that‘s needed. Also the elaborate profile of DT Swiss rims ensures a precise and safe fit of the tyre even when ridden hard.

Ratchet system
The patented freewheel system, which features high-precision star ratchets, guarantees top performance and reliability. The no-tool concept allows extremely simple and quick maintenance.

The engagement angle is the degree to which a hub spins freely before transferring the riders power to the wheel. The smaller the angle, the faster the leg power reaches the ground, so a smaller engagement angle is generally better. It is important to know though, that there are limits on the minimally possible angle, as the reliability of the freewheel system partially depends on the angle too. What makes the Ratchet System hubs truly unique, is the fact that all teeth of the two ratchets engage simultaneously every time. Pawl hubs in comparison engage only a couple pawls simultaneously. Furthermore, in the case of pawl hubs, the contact surface is rather small, whereas in the case of the Ratchet System, the whole front face engages, creating much smaller point loads. The result is the legendary reliability of the Ratchet System hubs and distinctive sound as the star ratchets rotate against each other!

Dicut
DT Swiss’s lightest, stiffest and most aerodynamic hub and spoke system, aimed squarely at competitive road and track riding where speed is the overwhelming priority, uses custom Nailhead spokes that can hold much higher tensions.

OXiC
OXiC is a process in which a ceramic coating is electrochemically applied to the rim surface, making it extremely hard and wear resistant. The OXiC process achieves a high end looking, matte black finish which also guarantees the highest level of brake performance while reducing wear on the rim to the absolute minimum.

• Extremely good and consistent brake performance in all conditions.
• The OXiC rim surface is so hard, that the rim will not be affected by wear over the normal lifespan of a wheel. The only part that wears out is the brake pad.
• Since the ceramic layer is applied through a conversion coating process, the OXiC coating is able to deform with the rim, maintaining its superior properties even under high mechanical loads (conventional ceramic coatings tend to crack when exposed to mechanical stress).
• The OXiC coating process uses no volatile organic compounds or heavy metals, making it a very environmentally friendly technology.
• Black rims that stay black: Since OXiC does not contain any inks or dyes it is totally UV stable and won‘t fade or discolor in the sun.
