Why are the rim widths different at the front and rear?
Why are the rim widths different at the front and rear?
A wider front rim allows for a larger air volume. This results in better lateral grip and improved tire stability. It also increases the contact patch with the road for optimized braking.
With a thinner rear rim, you'll get better rolling efficiency and it allows you to use thinner tires in mud, for example. It also increases the rim's strength.

Are the rims hookless?
Are the rims hookless?
For mountain biking, our rims are hookless, offering greater strength and lighter weight. For road and gravel bikes, they are equipped with hooks for optimal compatibility and security. In cyclocross, we use rims designed for tubular tires.
Are the wheels tubeless compatible?
Are the wheels tubeless compatible?
Yes, all our rims are compatible with tubeless tires, whether for mountain biking, road cycling, or gravel riding. Only our cyclocross range is exclusively compatible with tubular tires.
What is the maximum weight that the wheels can support for the cyclist?
What is the maximum weight that the wheels can support for the cyclist?
Our wheels are designed to support a maximum weight of 110 kg (including the cyclist and their equipment).
What criteria should be considered when choosing the ideal rim height?
What criteria should be considered when choosing the ideal rim height?
The choice of rim depth depends on your riding style and the terrain. For road and gravel riding, a shallow rim will be lighter and easier to handle uphill, while a deep rim will offer better aerodynamics, ideal for flat terrain and long distances.
What is the purpose of ligatures?
What is the purpose of ligatures?
The spoke lacing is a steel wire that binds the spokes at each crossing, held in place by tin solder. First of all, contrary to popular belief, this doesn't significantly increase lateral stiffness. However, it does improve the transfer of pedaling torque, thus providing better efficiency. Spoke lacing also prevents friction between the spokes at the crossings, thereby eliminating unwanted noise. In the event of a break, the spoke is held securely and therefore won't pierce the rim or get stuck and damage your frame and/or derailleur.
What is the Ratchet 54T option for DT Swiss hubs?
What is the Ratchet 54T option for DT Swiss hubs?
On the original version, DT Swiss hubs are sold with a 36-point freehub body. With the 54-tooth option, the freehub engagement angle is less than 7 degrees. This allows for faster pedaling acceleration.
What precautions should be taken for wheel maintenance?
What precautions should be taken for wheel maintenance?
To preserve the quality and durability of your wheels, we recommend not washing them with a pressure washer or high-pressure cleaner. This can damage the stickers and affect the components, especially the bearings. Instead, clean them by hand with a soft cloth and soapy water.
Why a manual assembly?
Why a manual assembly?
This guarantees that spoke tensions are optimized to the maximum. Wobble and runout are reduced to an absolute minimum. The tension of each spoke is individually checked with a Sapim tensiometer. Tensions are equalized as much as possible. The wheel is assembled in such a way that there will be no tension variation throughout its lifespan. In short, the wheels will have better performance and be more durable.
Are all the wheels offered hand-assembled?
Are all the wheels offered hand-assembled?
All of them, absolutely! Each request is handled individually and the tensions are adapted to the weight and practice of each user.
What is the difference between hand assembly and industrial assembly?
What is the difference between hand assembly and industrial assembly?
Manual wheel building offers the advantage of achieving higher tensions than machine-built rims. Furthermore, no rim is perfect, and only the human hand can bring out its full potential. Each spoke is individually treated, every parameter checked. Defects undetectable by machine can also be identified.
