DT Swiss HGC1400 700c Hybrid Disc Brake Wheel

Description

Product Description

Key Features:

• Designed to drop significant weight and add an extra turn of aerodynamic speed to high-end E-gravel bikes, the HC 1400’s are a serious upgrade for those looking to maximise performance on all surfaces
• Working with the aerodynamics experts at Swissside, DT developed entirely new testing equipment and procedures for measuring drag and rolling resistance in order the develop the HGC’s unique rim profile
• The result is a blisteringly fast, 24 mm wide (internal) aerodynamic wheel and that has been designed from the ground up for 35 to 50 c gravel tyres and reinforced to handle the extreme torques that electrically assisted bikes produce
• The 650b or 700 c rims are manufactured using a method developed by DT to ensure continuous carbon fibres are aligned with the forces passing through the wheel, increasing strength and stiffness in use without adding weight
• Reinforced Hybrid optimised SPLINE hub-shells, a strengthened 24-tooth ratchet and steel freehub bodies ensure long term durability even under prolonged hi-torque use
• Thicker spokes greatly extend fatigue life and transfer the added torque from the hub more efficiently
• For those looking to use the latest tyre tech the HGC 1400’s come tubeless ready but can also be used with standard clinchers
• Available in 12 or 110/148 x 12 ‘Road BOOST’ to fit the latest E-Gravel designs, also available in 100/142 non-Boost as a special order
• When bought as a pair they will include both Shimano and SRAM XDR steel freehubs, 6-bolt rotor adaptors, tubeless rim tape and valves
• Maximum recommended system weight: 140 KG
