A true workhorse, the HX 1700 is designed from the ground up to be the most reliable and dependable choice for those who want their E-MTB out on the trail where it belongs, not in the work stand E-MTB's are tough on wheels, really tough, not only is there the added weight and higher maximum drive torque but E-MTB riders tend to ride further and more frequently, this adds up to a real challenge for anyone looking to design a truly durable wheel for long term E-MTB use The result is DT's mission Hybrid, the first wheel engineering project to look specifically at the challenges of heavy duty E-MTB use for wheels So, what's changed? the short answer... Everything! At the core of the HX 1700' are a custom version of DT's legendarily reliable 350 hubs with E-MTB-optimised 24-tooth ratchets and oversized hub shells for improved load transfer The welded alloy rims have reinforced spoke beds to resist fatigue and handle high loads for long periods of time The straight pull spokes are custom made for Hybrid with an oversized 2.35 mm hub interface designed to protect one of the key points of stress on any wheel In order for a wheel to pass as Hybrid certified in DT's inhouse testing lab it has to survive 50% more lifecycles, its spokes and rims have to endure 20% higher load tests and the bearings must be able to handle almost twice the maximum load of a standard wheel Whilst intended for E-MTB use, the Hybrid range is also ideal for larger riders, bike packers or anyone looking for a really durable wheelset with a high weight limit Available in a 30 mm internal width to support modern high volume trail rubber System weight limit: 150KG, Come with DT tubeless rim tape and valves included Axle Type: Bolt Thru 15mm Brake Type: 6 Bolt Disc Colour: Black Discipline: E-Bike Hub Width: 110mm Rim Width: 26 - 35mm Wheel Diameter: 27.5 inches Product Type: Front Wheels
