The DT Swiss GR 1600 Spline Disc brake wheels are your perfect companion for gravel cycling, offering an affordable yet high-quality wheelset. Here's why these wheels are a must-have for gravel enthusiasts:
Ride Quality That Amazes:
Cycling Tips raved about the original GR 1600's, and they couldn't have put it better: "Never in the past 18 months did these things ever feel less than amazing whenever I put them on a bike." These wheels deliver a ride quality that's second to none.
Proven Reliability:
DT Swiss's alloy gravel range has earned a stellar reputation for top-notch ride quality and unwavering reliability, making them ideal for your backcountry adventures.
Goldilocks Width:
The 24mm inner width is the Goldilocks dimension for gravel cycling. It's narrow enough to accommodate higher pressure road slicks but wide enough to handle comfortable 47c tires when you're ready to venture off the beaten path.
Upgraded 350 Hubs:
The GR 1600 wheels feature upgraded 36-tooth SL ratchets in the GR 350 hubs. This upgrade provides an excellent balance between engagement, low noise, minimal drag, and long-term dependability, even in adverse 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 everywhere, from the Tour De France to the World Cup Downhill circuit.
European Craftsmanship:
These wheels are hand-built in Europe using 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 easy maintenance.
Tubeless Ready and Adaptable:
The GR 1600 wheels are tubeless-ready, offering you the freedom to explore the world of tubeless tires. However, they can also be used with standard clinchers if you prefer.
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. You can easily adapt these wheels for other axle types using separately available adaptors.
Maximum Recommended System Weight:
With a maximum recommended system weight of 130 KG, these wheels are sturdy enough for proper bike packing excursions and all your adventures.

When you purchase these wheels as a pair, you'll receive tubeless rim tape and valves, ensuring you're ready for a hassle-free tubeless setup.
