Product details

Increase the agility of lightweight eMTBs using this specific aluminum wheelset. Aligned to the purpose of lightweight eMTBs, the HX 1700 SPLINE LS aim for the right balance between lightness and resistance for more dynamic handling. The 350 hubs have been redesigned for eMTB to offer more resistance to the acceleration and braking forces. In addition, the spokes have been modified to increase their strength without drastically increasing the weight. These wheels are ready to be ridden on the fastest lines in technical sections and to carve into fast and tight turns.

  • Hub type 350 with Ratchet System 24
  • Rim Aluminum, Hooked / Crotchet tubeless TC
  • Inner width 30 mm
  • Spokes DT hybrid 3 straightpull

built to advance

The Hybrid MTB LS wheels are Built to Advance, featuring upgraded components specifically developed for motors with a lower average torque output, without compromising the weight and therefore the agility a lighter wheelset provides while riding.

technology

We believe in the art of engineering and strive for sophistication in the product development process. Our guiding idea is to constantly push barriers with our inhouse developed technologies.

All DT Swiss wheelsets are tubeless compatible and come tubeless ready, equipped with tubeless tape and valves.

DT Pro Lock is a process where a dual compound, adhesive liquid is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for extremely durable wheel builds.

What is the engagement angle, how does this angle affect riding performance and is the conventional wisdom "the more the better" really always better?

The Ratchet System is the first of this type of freehub system for DT Swiss. This patented freewheel system, which features high-precision star ratchets, guarantees top performance and reliability.

Learn how to ensure the optimal rotating property of the ball bearings and discover why DT Swiss does not offer hubs with adjustable bearing clearance.

«The HX 1700 SPLINE LS wheels are perfectly matched to the Light Hybrid requirements. They act, by the lower weight compared to full hybrid wheels, more agile and safer compared to ordinary wheels. This balance is reflected in the performance in jumps and off-road and conveys handling like a classic enduro bike.

 

Technical trails turn out to be very grippy when up / downhill. This allows for precise line selection and great directional stability.»
