DT Swiss XR 361 Novatec D411/D412 Pillar Sapim | MTB-XC wheels

DT Swiss XR 361 Novatec D411/D412 Pillar Sapim | MTB-XC wheels – Technical Specification

• Dedicated set of Mountain Bike (MTB) and Cross Country (XC) size 29″ / 700C bicycle wheels we produce on individual order in Polish bicycle wheel manufactory in Rzeszow.
• A set of very fast racing wheels with high dynamics and low weight suitable for training as well as for MTB marathons and XC races.
• In the set-up we present both MTB (Mountain Bike) Wheels have 28 spokes each, which is a guarantee of great strength and stiffness while keeping the whole set low and also very attractive in terms of weight.
• Depending on the spoke variant, the wheels weigh between 1480 and 1530 grams.

DT Swiss XR 361 29″ / 700C asymmetric rims

• Mountain Bike (MTB) wheels are built on very stiff durable and lightweight asymmetrical rims from DT Swiss XR 361.
• This is the so-called DT Swiss asymmetrical rim. This means that the centre of the rim cone is not at the central point, but is extended to the side. This procedure provides the wheel with greater strength and stability.
• The asymmetrical rim means that the previous line into which all the spokes connect has been moved away from the derailleur in the rear wheel and the disc brake in the front wheel. This puts the contact angle of the spokes and rim slightly further away from the previous vertical, while the side without gear or brake is slightly closer to the new vertical. This means that both sides have a similar spoke angle.
• The inner width of the DT Swiss XR361 rim is 22.5mm, allowing you to fit tyres of many sizes – whether for MTB or XC.
• The rimheight of the rim is only 18 mm, which saves a lot of weight.

Novatec D411/D412 hubs

• MTB and XC DT Swiss XR 361 Novatec D411/D412 Pillar Sapim wheels are built on high-quality Novatec D411/D412 hubs.
• We install a standard Shimano HG 11s freehub body ratchet (we also include shims for 9s and 10s).
• The brake discs on Novatec D411/D412 hubs are mounted with 6 screws. This is the most optimal solution because if the front or rear disc is bent, it is easy to remove with a 5mm Allen wrench or torx t20-25.

Testing and Lubrication of Hubs on XC – MTB Wheels | DT Swiss XR 361 Novatec D411/D412 Pillar Sapim

• In hubs, we lubricate the space between the pressure caps and the bearings, which additionally protects against water and dirt penetration.
