A combination of DT's renowned multi World Championship, World Cup and EWS winning EX 511 rims with the workhorse 350 ratchet hubs makes the EX 1700 the perfect, long term wheel investment for regular gravity riding
At the heart of the rear hub sits DT's Swiss-made 36-tooth SL ratchet, offering a 10 degree engagement angle; the optimum balance of rapid engagement, low pedal kickback and long-term reliability
30 mm internal width gives an ideal platform for current 2.3 - 2.5 inch tyres without adding unnecessary weight
As with all DT's E-rated Enduro rims, DT's custom extrusions beef up the edge of the rim to better resist rock-strikes whilst still minimising unnecessary bulk in less heavily loaded areas of the rim's structure, PHR system nipples remove stress risers and improve overall wheel stiffness; just 2 reasons why these rims have become the default choice for aggressive riders worldwide
With a weight per pair of 1886 grams in 27.5" and just 1978 grams in 29" the EX 1700's offer a careful balance of durability and low weight for the climb back up
As one of the few manufactures of hubs, rims and spokes, the DT 1700's hubs and rims are designed from the ground up for DT's widely available straight pull, butted Competition spokes and designed as a system to offer superlative ride quality
350 hubs offer assured excellent durability and wide freehub compatibility along with easy, tool-free servicing
When bought as a pair they will include tubeless rim tape and tubeless valves
Maximum recommended system weight: 130 KG

‘We invent, develop, shape and create, every day. We aspire
to engineer leadership, every day. We strive for products that set benchmarks,
every day. We help cyclists achieve their ambitions. Every day since 1994,
engineering performance has been at the heart of everything we do.’
It all started with spokes. Formed in 1994 following a buyout from a Biel-based wire works with roots all the way back to the 15th-century, DT Swiss AG was founded by Frank Böchmann, Maurizio D’Alberto and Marco Zingg with the vision of becoming a world-renowned manufacturer of bicycle components.
Pioneers of the ratchet rear hub – which still sets the standard for engagement and performance – DT believes that wheels should be built with the entire system in mind, not just constructed from parts built by other brands. Every DT Swiss wheel is entirely made by the Swiss brand with hubs, nipples, spokes and rims all designed and built by them rather than sourced elsewhere.
In 2017 they launched the ARC road wheels, developed in conjunction with SwissSide and renowned aerodynamicist JP Ballard, and the latest generation of these wheels are currently ridden in the pro peloton by Lotto-Dstny and the likes of Caleb Ewan and Thomas De Gendt.
Today, DT Swiss is one of the biggest names in cycling and still strives to develop beautifully engineered products that break boundaries while setting the standard for quality control and reliability.
