Description
Wheelset 29" AM EN | DT Swiss 240 EXP MTB 6-hole hubs | Duke carbon rims
intended use : All Mountain AM, Enduro EN
With this wheelset, racers can also really let it rip. The indestructible DT Swiss hubs and the excellently crafted Duke rims forgive the occasional driving mistake. The balanced selection of components guarantees you high reliability and a long service life.
Hubs
Lighter, stiffer, more precise and easier to maintain - these are the strengths of the newly launched DT Swiss 240 hubs. These properties were achieved through Ratchet EXP technology. This means that the hubs not only require fewer components and therefore lower weight and less wear, but it also allows the bearing on the drive side to be placed significantly further out. The larger distance between the bearings results in greater hub rigidity, lower bearing load and therefore greater durability. The stiffness on the hub body serves to distribute the load on the spokes more evenly. Driving and braking forces are transferred even better from both spoke flanges to all spokes. One-sided load peaks are prevented, which protects the hub, spokes and rim. The super reliable toothed disc freewheel system ensures extremely direct and reliable power transmission with its large contact surface and 36 locking points.
rims
Duke has managed to improve the rim compared to the SLS3 version. In doing so, they have once again pushed the seemingly technically possible limits. A 30 mm wide rim with a weight of only 371g is a direct challenge to the competition.
How did the French accomplish this? They took a closer look at the individual elements of the rim and looked for optimization options. In particular, a new resin was used. This not only made it possible to slim down, but also increased impact resistance at the same time. Similar to the SLS3 production process, reworking or painting is not necessary after production.
The rim flange is hookless and reinforced. This prevents damage in the event of possible punctures. In addition, the anti-burp technology prevents the tire from slipping or jumping off the rim and thus possible loss of air.
The rim has an asymmetrical rim profile, which allows for a more uniform angle of attack for the spokes. This optimization of the spoke angle brings with it a number of advantages. The spoke tension on both sides can be better adjusted, which improves the durability of the spokes and the entire wheel. The normally directional lateral stiffness is also adjusted so that the wheel becomes stiffer.
With the “6Ters” concept, Duke takes individual paths. The cross section of the rims is different on the front and rear wheels. At the front, the larger internal width allows for more grip and rigidity, while at the rear, particular attention was paid to impact resistance and comfort.
Wheel construction at R2-Bike
Our wheels are assembled entirely by hand by our wheel builders. During the entire construction, it is important to ensure that not only the concentricity is correct, but also that the spoke tension is as even as possible. This special care allows us to offer a lifetime guarantee against broken spokes, as long as they are not caused by violence.
The following services are also already included:
You get a universal wheel bag for all common sizes.
You will receive a replacement spoke with a nipple in all the required spoke lengths so that you can repair the wheel at short notice after an accident.
You will receive a free initial inspection of the wheel, where the resulting work is completely free of charge. Only shipping costs are charged.
You get a crash replacement promise: If your wheel is damaged due to force majeure, we will rebuild it once. We offer a 100% discount on all labor costs and only charge for the material.
