Hubs - DT Swiss 350
DT's workhorse 350 get an high-engagement upgrade with the addition of DEG technology for technical MTB usage
- Based heavily on the 240 DEG, the 350 has a less-machined hub shell and axle, saving considerable CNC time at the cost of a slightly higher weight
- Rapid engagement has become a desirable feature for more technically-orientated riding but many fast-engaging hubs suffered either from high weight, high drag, poor reliability, or all three
- Going back to the drawing board, DT have completely reworked their ratchet system to allow the largest drive ratchets they have ever used, The 350 version offers 72 teeth and 5 degrees of engagement whilst retaining the bombproof reliability of the renowned DT rachet system
- DT are the original ratchet hub innovators, with over 25 years of development and refinement behind it no other manufacturer has matched DT's system for ease of service. reliability and durability
- Tool-free servicing concept make maintenance quick and simple, even mid-ride in a pinch
- The same quad bearing system as used in the 240, with custom DT steel bearings and improved contact-free double flange sealing giving added durability and performance
Rims - DT Swiss FR 571
- Treat the mountain with the disrespect it deserves and get Rude as Hell, the FR 571 can take it
- Whereas the FR 541 is intended as the perfect DH race rim with a careful balance of impact resistance, ride characteristics and weight, the FR 571 goes all-in on pure strength for those who just can't help themselves and value durability above all else
- The result of extensive testing with some of the most destructive riders on the World Cup DH and EWS circuits as well as leading freeriders, this rim isn't for everyone but for the chosen few it will the answer to their prayers
- The 571 adds an extra 80 grams (in 27.5") over the 541, putting more material in places where even the renowned 541 gives way increasing durability to even greater heights, if you break one of these we will want to see the clip
- A fattened bead hook, already well proven on the 541 profile, widens and blunts the area that slams into the tyre during a heavy impact, increasing the force required to split the tyre by 17%, allowing you to go that bit harder
- Included Brass Flat Hex nipples are designed not to pierce rim tape should a spoke snap mid-race run or halfway down a sketchy line
- The included PHR washers increase stiffness and durability with no weight penalty over traditional eyeleted rims
- Available in 32 hole only... naturally
