DT Swiss trickles down high-end performance into upgraded family of affordable alloy wheels for road, gravel, and cyclocross riders…
As for wider rims, both the Endurance and Performance families grow 2mm wider for the extra comfort & reduced rolling resistance of higher-volume modern tubeless road tires. Endurance wheels have now grown to the same 22mm wide internal as the Cross family for all-day comfort, all-weather control, and a mix of all-road capabilities, with the RR481 25mm deep welded & R500 23mm deep sleeved rim profiles – optimized for 28-34mm road tires.
The Performance line wheels lean more towards classic road riding, but still get a bit wider than before – now 20mm internal , with the 23mm deep sleeved alloy R470 rim. There is also still a rim brake option for the base level P road wheels, which sticks with a more conventionally narrow 18mm internal width, although still hooked tubeless-ready.
Alloy Gravel wheels keep a 25mm deep rim with a hooked 24mm internal, and the 23mm deep Cross wheels are still 22mm internal hooked tubeless to keep your cyclocross tires from growing too wide. New Aero II spokes bring a more aerodynamic spoke upgrade even to the entry price level. A step below the double-butted Aero Comp & ultralight double-butted Aerolites, the new OE-only straight-gauge bladed Aero II gets a refined forged shape that is said to be more elliptical for improved aerodynamics.
Lastly, upgraded hubs across the full alloy range. Now, 1400 series wheels get the aero Dicut 240 hubs with the latest & lightest 36-tooth Ratchet EXP internals. 1600 wheels get upgraded with Spline 350 hubs that now feature DT Swiss classic star Ratchet engagement with faster & lighter 36SL, 36-tooth ratchet rings. And the 1800 wheels are now Ratchet as well, built with Spline 370 hubs featuring 18T Ratchet LN inside.
