DT Swiss PR 1600 SPLINE® DB 23 Road Rear Wheel 28"/700C (12x142 mm), SHIMANO HG

When speed meets comfort, there needs to be no compromise!
The PR 1600 SPLINE® DB 23 road bike front wheel from wheel specialist DT Swiss proves this in a very impressive way. It combines durability and low weight as well as stiffness and comfort.

The high-quality and stable aluminium rim is specially designed for the loads with disc brakes. What’s more, with a 20 mm inner rim width, it is excellently suited for use with modern, large-volume road bike tyres.
In addition, the hassle-free tubeless compatibility allows you to enjoy the many advantages of modern tubeless systems. Lower weight, less rolling resistance, better puncture protection and greater comfort are, after all, not just arguments for professional riders. Ambitious hobby athletes especially benefit from these properties.
In conjunction with the streamlined bladed aero spokes, excellent bearings and the proven Ratchet SL freehub system, the high-quality DT Swiss 350 hub provides maximum acceleration without any noticeable friction loss. The reliable system with high-precision star ratchets guarantees high durability and fast engagement.

The outstanding performance of the DT Swiss PR 1600 SPLINE® DB 23 rear wheel helps you to reach top performance in training as well as to keep ahead of your competitors in races.

Technologies:

• RATCHET SL:
With the Ratchet SL freewheel system from DT Swiss, the designation "SL" (Super Light) means that the ratchets are lighter than those of the classic DT Ratchet System, thanks to additional machining. Depending on the equipment, the ratchets of the Ratchet System hubs have an engagement angle between 6.7° and 20°. The system stands out for high reliability thanks to the simultaneous meshing of the teeth, which leads to significantly lower point loads. The no-tool concept allows easy maintenance and tool-free conversion to common axle and freehub body standards.

• TUBELESS:
All DT Swiss wheels are tubeless ready. The profiles of the DT Swiss rims are specially designed for tubeless use. The rim profile makes it easier to fit the right tyre and ensures a perfect fit. The tubeless system of the rim consists of DT Swiss tubeless ready tape for sealing and a DT Swiss tubeless valve in a length that complies with the rim. When using tubeless ready tyres, a compatible sealant must be used. However, it is also possible to use a conventional combination of tyre and inner tube.

• BEARINGS:
Having learned from years of experience, DT Swiss only uses durable cartridge bearings without bearing play adjustment. DT Swiss hubs are designed to have the optimum axial and radial bearing play when they are properly installed. The correct preload of the bearings to compensate for the clamping force of the wheel mounting system is the basis for a play-free hub with minimum friction.

• PRO LOCK®:
DT Pro Lock® prevents the spoke-nipple connection from loosening. In the Pro Lock® process, a special dual component adhesive is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for extremely durable wheel builds. By threading the nipple onto the spoke the adhesive is activated and then hardens completely within a few hours. Re-truing the wheel is possible, yet it will cause a slight decrease in the adhesive power each time.
