DT Swiss

EX 1700 Spline 29in Boost Wheel

DT Swiss 350 Hubs are high-quality hubs known for their reliability and quick engagement. They connect the spokes to the axle, allowing your wheels to spin smoothly. The quick engagement feature is particularly beneficial for mountain biking, as it provides immediate power transfer when you start pedaling, enhancing your overall performance on the trails.

The Ratchet System 36 SL is an advanced engagement mechanism that allows for rapid and efficient power transfer when you accelerate. With 36 teeth, this system ensures that your pedals engage quickly, giving you better responsiveness and control, especially during climbs or sprints. The "SL" indicates it's a lightweight version, which helps reduce overall bike weight without sacrificing performance.

A thru-axle is a robust axle design that provides a secure connection between your wheel and bike frame. It passes through the hub and frame, making your wheels more stable and less likely to come loose during rides, especially on rough terrain. This added stability enhances your control and safety while riding, making it a preferred choice for serious mountain bikers.

Boost Spacing refers to a wider hub and axle setup, typically 148mm for the rear hub. This design improves the stiffness and strength of your bike's frame and wheels, which is crucial for maintaining stability and control during aggressive riding. If you're into mountain biking, Boost Spacing can significantly enhance your performance on challenging trails.

Tubeless compatibility allows you to use tubeless tires, which eliminate the need for inner tubes. This setup enables you to run lower air pressures, improving traction and comfort on rough trails. Additionally, tubeless tires are less prone to pinch flats when hitting obstacles, making them a great choice for riders looking to enhance their riding experience and reduce maintenance.

Yes, you can upgrade your bike to use DT Swiss 350 Hubs and tubeless tires, provided your bike frame and fork are compatible with the thru-axle and Boost Spacing standards. This upgrade can significantly enhance your bike's performance, stability, and overall riding experience, especially if you frequently ride on rough terrain. Always check compatibility with your local bike shop or manufacturer for the best results.
