Description
With its hybrid wheel sets, DT-Swiss is launching its first series of impellers, specifically developed for use on eMTBs. Not only the system weight at eMTBs is higher and leads to higher loads for the wheels, also many trails and rough passages can be driven with significantly higher speeds. In addition to this, the drive system generates higher driving torques which are required to be placed on the ground and require stiffer wheels. The engineers at DT-Swiss have taken this requirement into account and optimized all components of their proven Spline wheel sets for use with eMTBs.
The H 1700 Spline wheels with a 30- or 35-millimeter gap provide a good support for tires up to 3.5 inches, even at low air pressures. With a clearance of up to 150 kilos of system weight (driver, clothing, wheel), the H 1700 wheels also provide enough reserves for rough riders on rough trails.
Hybrid rear wheel hub The hybrid hub has an oversized housing, a heavy duty axle and extra reinforced spoke mountings. Over-dimensioned bearings and a free-floating steel body ensure high robustness and durability. The tried and tested DT-Swiss toothed disc freewheel is also made from hardened steel at the hybrid hub and has been extended to 24 teeth for a more direct response. These adjustments allow the larger torques of e-bike drives to be absorbed by the hub. The hybrid hub has a very low weight compared to a standard MTB hub. The spline hub flanges for Straigthpull spokes also make the hub optically an eyecatcher.
Hybrid spokes
In order to transfer the higher drive forces to the rims, DT-Swiss developed special oversized hybrid spokes. They consist of the same high-performance steel alloy as all the tried and tested DT Swiss spokes. However, the Straightpull hybrid spokes are equipped with reinforced and oversized fuel heads, which together with the DT Pro Lock Squorx nipples ensure that every watt on the rim arrives.
