Enjoy the hills one after another with ease and confidence

If you rather tackle steep hills than flat roads, the PR 1600 SPLINE has you covered. A light, low rim is designed to make uphill efforts enjoyable. Going downhill, the 20mm wide rim offers ideal tire support and thus traction to safely speed down the serpentines. In addition, the improved 350 ratchet hub provides fast engagement so you can accelerate seamlessly after taking a moment to enjoy the breathtaking views. Start planning your route to conquer the next mountain pass now!

Rim
The 20mm wide rim offers a great balance between lightness and comfort thanks to the support of wide tires, ideal for enjoying the climbs as much as the descents.

Spokes
The DT aero comp® wide straightpull offers a great balance of aerodynamics and durability thanks to our patented manufacturing process.

Hub
The 350 road hub saves some weight thanks to a lightweight axle combined with a milled hub body.

Freehub body
The beloved Ratchet System 36 SL provides an engagement twice as fast compared to the 18 teeth of its predecessor.

Technologies

Ratchet
Every ratchet has its purpose. Learn more about the different DT Swiss freehub systems. Each Ratchet System has its special characteristics, but they all provide the iconic reliability. This is a result of the simultaneous engagement of the teeth, creating far fewer point loads. Discover how the constructions differ and which common features they share.

Tubeless
All DT Swiss wheelsets are tubeless compatible and the ASM versions come tubeless ready, equipped with tubeless tape and valves. Tubeless tires have a number of advantages over the conventional combination of tube and tire: without risking snakebites, the tire can be run with lower pressures providing better grip. The lower pressure also results in a more comfortable ride. Eliminating the tube means there is no friction between tube and tire and therefore less rolling resistance when the tire rolls over the ground and obstacles. If tubeless sealant is used, the tire can self-seal stings and small cuts. A big advantage for all those who like to ride long and far from the next bikeshop.

Bearing
DT Swiss hubs are designed to function optimally once installed in a bicycle. To achieve this, the clamping force created by the wheel mounting system must be taken into account when constructing a hub. Learn how to ensure the optimal rotating property of the ball bearings and discover why DT Swiss does not offer hubs with adjustable bearing clearance. In order for a bearing to rotate, there must be a certain amount of play in the thousandth of a millimeter range. Without this clearance, the bearing cannot rotate. Bearing play occurs both radially and axially. Axial clearance describes how far one bearing ring can be displaced longitudinally relative to the other without load. Radial clearance is measured vertically to the center axis of the bearing.

Spokes
The production of high-quality spokes marked the beginning of the company. DT was synonymous with top quality Swiss spokes, even before the establishment of today‘s DT Swiss AG. To this day, DT Swiss spokes stand for durability and precision and are unrivalled thanks to their unique production process that combines lightweight with durability.
