DT Swiss CR 1600 SPLINE disc brake wheel, clincher 23 x 22 mm, rear

Whether you’re planning to spend your winter leaping barriers in a skinsuit or you’re setting out for the road less travelled, the Cross Road series is all about big rubber and going where a traditional road bike would fear to tread

The CR 1600’s rims are a massive 22 mm wide internally, perfect for big volume 32c and over gravel and cyclocross tyres, giving even the fattest treads the support they need to be run at lower pressures, improving traction and comfort on rough, loose surfaces

DT’s 350 hub internals are combined with a freshly optimised SPLINE hub-shell designed to improve spoke bracing and improve stiffness, the 350 18-tooth ratchet system is the most reliable out there, it can also be serviced without the need for specialist tools, making it ideal for back country epics

The combination of Aero Comp and super strong New Aero spokes are happy transferring the torque from even the beefiest of calves

If you’re interested in these then you’ll almost certainly be wanting to run tubeless tyres, so you’ll be glad to hear that the CR 1600’s come tubeless ready with tape and valves included, they can however also be used with standard clinchers
