DT Swiss HX 1700 SPLINE - ALL FUN, NO FUSS:

Thanks to proven technology and specifically designed components, the new HX 1700 SPLINE wheelset is the ideal partner for demanding eMTB tours. The newly designed, larger 350 Hybrid hub, combined with its upgraded steel freehub body, reinforced hybrid spokes and welded aluminium rim, ensures maximum robustness. At the same time, DF technology virtually eliminates pedal kickback, thereby delivering significantly improved braking and drive torque: for anyone looking to take their eMTB adventures to the next level!

In recent years, the e-bike segment has evolved in parallel with the development of more powerful motors. A new, reinforced aluminium wheelset is now available and can withstand the increased power and higher weight of e-bikes. Under certain conditions, however, some of our non-hybrid-specific wheels can also be used on your e-bike.

Featuring reinforced rims, more durable bearings and steel freehub bodies. The DT Swiss H X1700 Spline Hybrid, with a 30 mm flange width, oversized ball bearings, a new high-load axle, 24-tooth splines, a steel freehub body and a reinforced hub shell, is designed for significantly higher torque and offers 20 per cent greater load capacity than standard wheels. The legendary reliability of DT Swiss hubs and straight-pull lacing ensure long-lasting riding enjoyment.

eMTBs are designed to ride up and down mountains quickly and have fun doing so. The new HX 1700 SPLINE high-end aluminium wheelset is the ideal partner for this. Building on many years of experience in the development of eMTB components and targeted testing procedures, DT Swiss has redesigned this wheelset to meet the increased demands of modern e-mountain biking. The redesigned 350 hub features a larger hub body, which enables better braking and drive torque and results in greater robustness. The new hub is now combined with a high-quality welded aluminium rim and reinforced hybrid spokes. This wheel is available in two spoke patterns and two wheel sizes, making it suitable for all riders looking to expand their eMTB adventures.

DT Swiss HX 1700 Spline Hybrid DEG Hubs:

Based on the DT Swiss 350 series hubs, the DT Swiss straight-pull hub shells of the Hybrid Spline wheels feature reinforced hub shells, oversized ball bearings and reinforced spoke heads. The new design of the 350 hub features the familiar ratchet freewheel and is characterised by a larger hub body, which better absorbs high braking and drive torques, resulting in a longer service life. With the optimised hub body, specifically designed for high torque and extreme braking forces, and the reinforced flange, DT Swiss provides the perfect foundation for extremely stable e-bike and enduro-DH wheelsets.

Boost standard:

The thru-axle standard requires new hubs. The wider hub shell with the flanges positioned further out allows for wheels with greater lateral stiffness. On Boost hubs, the brake disc mount is also positioned further out. Therefore, these hubs cannot be fitted to frames with the narrower mounting dimension.

DT Swiss H 1700 Spline Hybrid Rims:

Built for tough E-bike, freeride and enduro use, the DT Swiss H 1700 rims, with a width of 30 mm and the new asymmetrical design, offer maximum stability; the rim bed is further reinforced to easily absorb high drive forces. With a 30 mm rim width, tyres ranging from 2.0 to 3.0 inches in width can be fitted.

Hooked / Crotchet tubeless TC:

‘Hooked’ or ‘Crochet’ refers to the shape of the rim flange, which features a so-called hook. This aids in securing the tyre bead and ensures reliable performance, even when using high tyre pressure (> 5 bar). ‘Tubeless’ means that the rim can be ridden without an inner tube, although a setup with an inner tube is also possible.

DT Swiss Straightpull Hybrid2 spokes:

To achieve maximum stability, Spline wheelsets use DT Hybrid 2 straight-pull spokes. They are more stable than conventional spokes yet can still be trued and replaced using standard tools. The straight-pull lacing allows for precise placement and alignment of the spokes. This optimises wheel stiffness and eliminates any unwanted stress peaks.
