Freed from UCI regulation, the DT Swiss Gravel range was free to go as wide as DT's test data suggested, after extensive testing of different tyre profiles and rim shapes, DT engineers have settled on a full 24 mm as the perfect width for modern Gravel bikes.
The added width gives better support to wide, 35c or larger tyres, allowing the use of lower pressures, enhancing grip and comfort whilst reducing rolling resistance and tyre flex under cornering.
Robust, sleeved construction gives a great value package for a wide gravel rim.
Need a rim for cyclocross racing or just something a bit less specific? Check out the R 500 Cross Road, which is fully UCI compliant and a great option for 30-35c tyres.
Available in both 700c and 650B 'Road Plus' sizes for the new breed of multi surface adventure bikes.
A substantial 130 KG weight limit means these can be used for bike packing or light touring.
Unlike the lightweight XC mountain bike rims that have been used as impromptu gravel rims in the past these are proper road rims and designed to handle higher pressures safely.
Can be run either with standard clinchers or road tubeless tyres using DT Swiss tubeless tape and valves.
