The detail

DT Swiss overhauled its wheel offerings for the 2018 model year, and has done so with great success. Based around the company’s fine 240 hubs, these tubelessready 1400 PRC 35 wheels have undergone aero treatment from partner Swiss Side and are light (claimed 1,434g) and stiff, which translates into fast and nimble stock. However, the braking surface is lacking compared to that of some competitors.

At £1,700 for the pair, these wheels have no problems competing on price.
