DT Swiss Dicut PR 1400 Oxic 32 wheelset
With the PR1400 Dicut wheels, DT Swiss presents lightweight, semi-aero road bike wheels, featuring sturdy asymmetrical aluminium clincher rims and high-end DT Swiss Dicut hubs based on the DT 240 hubs. The lightweight and reliable, asymmetrically drilled, ceramic-coated aluminium rims form the foundation for an aerodynamic yet responsive wheel set with perfect braking performance in all weather conditions. A perfect finish and the sophisticated construction of the DICUT hubs make the PR 1400 DICUT one of the top aluminium wheel sets on the market.
DT Swiss Dicut hubs:
The Dicut hubs are perfectly matched to the Nail Head spoke system and offer optimum aerodynamics. Equipped with top-end stainless steel bearings and a widened flange spacing for maximum lateral stiffness at a low weight. The ratchet body with Ratchet Star pawl is virtually maintenance-free and easy to convert to all standard cassette systems, including Shimano/SRAM, Campagnolo and SRAM XD
DT Swiss PR 1400 Dicut Oxic 32 rims:
The 32 mm high aero rims with an 18 mm rim width are very stable and perfectly designed for tyre widths of 23–32 mm. The rims are welded and meticulously planed. This ensures optimum durability and braking performance. The rear rim, with its asymmetrical profile, significantly increases the lateral stiffness and durability of the wheel. Naturally, the rims are tubeless-ready.
Swiss Stop BXP brake pads are used on the Oxic rims. These are not included with the Campagnolo version of the wheelsets
DT Swiss Oxic Process
The Oxic process refers to an electrochemical ceramic coating that makes the rim surfaces very hard and durable. This creates an elegant, matt black finish that offers excellent braking performance whilst reducing wear on the rim to an absolute minimum. The ceramic layer is produced in a similar way to anodising, namely in an electrolyte bath by applying an electrical voltage between the component (acting as one electrode) and the container (acting as the other electrode). The key difference between anodising and Oxic lies in the millions of plasma discharges between the electrolyte bath and the rim, which exert high temperatures and pressures on the forming oxide layer. This causes the forming oxide to melt, flow and solidify again. During this process, the amorphous, disordered structure of the oxide transforms into a crystalline, ordered structure. This is why OXiC is so hard and durable. According to DT Swiss, the coating’s lifespan is as long as that of the spokes and hubs. A prerequisite is the use of DT Swiss Special brake pads
DT Swiss Dicut spokes:
Lacing with the Nail Head System ensures that the spokes cannot twist under load, so the spokes always remain at the most aerodynamically favourable angle. Flatter and lighter than all others, the DT Swiss Aerolite spokes feature an aerodynamic flat profile and are extremely lightweight. On the freehub side of the Dicut wheels, the slightly heavier and even more stable DT Aerocomp spokes are fitted.
DT Swiss Star Ratchet Freewheel:
The proven DT Swiss Ratchet System hub system allows for easy conversion to various axle or rotor standards. The multi-tooth ratchet freehub body ensures loss-free power transmission. The rear hubs can be converted to Campagnolo ED, Shimano HG and Sram XD freehub bodies without tools.
