DT Swiss GR 1600 Spline Clincher Disc Brake Wheelset

DT Swiss GR 1600 Spline Clincher Disc Brake Wheelset

The DT Swiss GR 1600 Spline Clincher Disc Brake Wheelset is an ideal addition to any gravel bike when the rider intends to tackle the longest and most demanding rides.

The aluminium rims are both lightweight and laterally stiff to promote a lively and enthusiastic character when the power is being pushed on challenging climbs and technical tracks. The shallow rim depth offers great versatility as it gifts composure throughout any riding scenario, even when the wind is blowing hard from the side. A broad, 24mm internal rim width forces either tubeless-ready or standard clincher tyres to realise superior cross-sectional profiles, resulting in lower rolling resistance and increased comfort.

DT Swiss 350 hubs feature SPLINE shells that improve spoke bracing angles for more consistent, evenly tensioned builds. The hub shells house super-smooth bearings while the freehub has an 18-tooth ratchet system that gives near-instant engagement. DT Swiss Aero Comp spokes link everything together with reliable, two-cross lacing patterns.
