A lightweight modern road rim with an 18 mm internal width for wider road or cyclocross tyres. It has a low profile and is carefully load-optimised to produce a rim that is the same weight as many narrower premium alloy rims from other brands. The symmetrical rim profile is best used on the front, paired with an asymmetrical rim for the rear. This rim can be run either with standard clinchers or road tubeless tyres using DT Swiss tubeless tape and valves. It comes packaged with DT Swiss Squorx ProHead nipples and PHR washers to complete your build. The Strength Boost Welding Technology creates a perfectly welded join for a durable, reliable rim. The machined sidewalls provide powerful braking on a consistent sidewall surface. Wear indicators show the extent of sidewall wear. The PHR washers and convex Squorx nipples naturally align perfectly with your chosen spokes, increasing stiffness and durability with no weight penalty over traditional eyeleted rims. The unique process for the black coating produces a tough finish.
