DT Swiss Technologies

Aero +

Aero+ technology provides reduced drag, improved handling and increased efficiency. In collaboration with Swiss Side, DT Swiss has optimized the shape, rotation, steering torque and rolling resistance to achieve exceptional aerodynamic performance.

Tubeless Ready

Tubeless Ready offers exceptional performance, similar to tubulars, with the addition of sealant to prevent punctures. The choice is yours: mount DT Swiss wheels with or without an inner tube.

Pro Lock

The Pro Lock system uses a two-part adhesive liquid to secure the wheel nuts. Once the nuts are tightened, the glue reacts and hardens after 6 to 7 hours, ensuring a reliable and secure fit.

Bearings without play compensation

DT Swiss hubs use optimally preloaded bearings to minimize play and ensure maximum durability. This technology also allows for easier maintenance and improved hub weight.

Ratchet System

The Ratchet 36T system, with 36 pawls, optimizes bearing life and ensures easy maintenance, without the need for specialized tools. This system is the preferred choice of professional cyclists for its precision and durability.
