DT SWISS rear wheel 28" AR 1600 Spline Center Lock 30 mm | 12x142 mm thru axle | Shimano Road
With the AR 1600, DT Swiss offers extremely functional road bike wheels at a top price. Fully trimmed for aerodynamics, you can really pick up the pace with them. Handcrafted with the typical high quality, they guarantee you the best performance and a long service life.
30 mm aero aluminum rim
The high-quality aluminum rim with its 30 mm high flank reduces braking air turbulence to a minimum. Its shape was developed according to the DT Swiss AERO+ concept and shows its advantages especially in crosswinds. Air currents hitting at an angle create a sailing effect, which gives you additional propulsion and allows you to save power. The internal nipples also increase aerodynamics and give the wheel a clean look.
The 20 mm inner width provides the tire with perfect support, which prevents it from kinking in fast bends and ensures greater riding stability. In addition, the rim is of course designed for tubeless systems, allowing you to ride with a lower air pressure and improving comfort and grip.
The workmanship is of a high standard. The rim ends are joined together using the sleeve-joint method. In this process, a molded part is pressed evenly into both ends of the rim profile and the rim is joined together. In addition, the shot-peened surface largely resists stone chips, so that it appears as good as new even after many rides.
DT Swiss 350 Spline hub
At the center is an indestructible DT Swiss 350 hub in a modern, narrow spline design. Thanks to its proven construction, it can withstand even the toughest conditions and always guarantees reliable propulsion with the ratchet pulley freehub. Thanks to the large-area power transmission via 36 teeth, the system can transmit significantly greater forces than a ratchet freewheel and is less susceptible to wear. It also impresses with its low weight and ensures a long service life and low maintenance thanks to the perfectly sealed bearings.
DT Swiss Aero Comp Straightpull spokes with Pro Lock nipples
Thanks to their blade shape, the spokes also give the wind little surface to attack and thus support the good aerodynamics of the wheel. The middle section was flattened using the cold forging process and also ensures high material strength. The straight design and the elimination of the highly stressed spoke bend also eliminates a potential breakage point and minimizes susceptibility to punctures
In the Pro Lock process, a patented two-component adhesive is injected into the nipple thread, enabling the construction of extremely durable wheels. As soon as the nipples are screwed in, the adhesive is activated and hardens completely at room temperature after approx. 6 - 7 hours. Multiple re-centering is still possible without any problems, although the adhesive strength decreases slightly with each re-centering.
