Proven Backcountry Reliability:
DT Swiss's alloy gravel range has earned a stellar reputation for superlative ride quality and bombproof backcountry reliability. These wheels are designed to handle the toughest terrains.
Goldilocks Dimension:
With a 24mm inner width, these wheels strike the perfect balance. They're narrow enough to run higher pressure road slicks, yet wide enough to accommodate comfortable 47c tires for your off-grid adventures.
Upgraded 350 Hubs:
The GR 1600 wheels feature upgraded 36-tooth SL ratchets in the GR 350 hubs. This upgrade offers an excellent balance between engagement, low noise, minimal drag, and long-term dependability, even in challenging conditions.
DT Swiss Ratchet System:
The Swiss-made DT ratchet system sets the gold standard for reliability, low weight, and ease of servicing. It's trusted by riders worldwide, from the Tour De France to the World Cup Downhill circuit.
European Craftsmanship:
Hand-built in Europe, these wheels use DT's proven Aero Comp butted spokes. This craftsmanship ensures a carefully tuned blend of stiffness and low weight. Premium Prolock Squorx nipples are used for long-term build stability and ease of maintenance.
Tubeless Ready Versatility:
These wheels are tubeless-ready, offering you the freedom to choose tubeless tires for enhanced performance and reliability. However, they can also be used with standard clincher tires.
Adaptable Axles:
The front wheel comes ready for standard 12 x 100mm thru axles, while the rear wheel is set for standard 12 x 142mm thru axles. Both wheels can be adapted for other axle types using separately available adaptors.
