The presented wheel set is made of DT Swiss components. A set designed for demanding users who value failure-free, low weight and individual design. The wheel set is compatible with the tubeless ready system. DT Swiss tubuless ready tape is included.
The wheels are equipped with DT Swiss 350 hubs. This is a synonym of durability and failure-free operation. The front hub has two machine bearings. The rear hub is equipped with four machine bearings and a ratchet system ( 18t ) that guarantees excellent freewheel operations. Servicing the rear hub is very simple. Service of rear hub does not require any tools.
The legendary Crest is even better. Wider and even lower profile, the new Crest MK3 sheds weight for faster acceleration and climbing. WideRight 23mm internal width increases tire volume for improved stability with wider tires. Inspired by our carbon technology, the entirely new rim shape adds strength and virtually eliminates the chance of a tire pinch flat. Refined over the past 15 years, our Bead Socket Technology offers the most trusted tubeless seal in the business, making the Crest MK3 the best choice for lightweight, tubeless XC performance.
The connecting elements between hubs and rims are spokes and nipples.
We used the DT Swiss Competition spokes in the Race version. Spokes are butted 2.0-1.6-2.0.
Sapim's anodized Polyax nipples are treated with a special coating to increase durability and allow for easier wheel building. Aluminium saves weight,compared to other materials like brass. Sapim's patented Secure Lock technology is a locking mechanism that prevents nipples from untightening. The advantages of this easy locking system are the possibility to use them on a truing machine and that there is no loose function while truing the wheel. Highly precise and accurate machines have specifically been developed to produce this type of locking system. They ensure stable and well defined deformation on the thread and increase the nipple's torsion about 18 cNm (+/- 3 cNm).
