Product News
author By Ruth Ayers, 3 days ago

Whether you have a winding gravel path, a century ride on smooth tarmac, or a week-long bikepacking adventure on your horizon, the 1800s are ready to deliver. Reliability without compromise is one way to describe these aluminium wheels as they have earned a reputation of delivering lasting performance. All the wheels are adjusted with a wider rim, and the Gravel and Endurance wheels feature angular rim shapes, shedding weight but offering durability when the ride gets bumpy. Backed by DT Swiss's proven hubs they are made for exploration. The 1800s are ready to take on anything you put in front of them and let you find new horizons.

 

Product Highlights

WIDER RIMS

Wider rims through wider tyre compatibility offer more comfort during riding.

Why wider? A wider internal rim width provides better tyre support, allowing you to run lower tyre pressures without compromising performance. Lower pressures can reduce rolling resistance, improve grip, and deliver a more comfortable ride, something every rider can appreciate. To take advantage of these benefits, the Aero rims will increase from 20 mm to 22 mm internal width, the Endurance rims from 22 mm to 24 mm, and the Gravel rims from 24 mm to 26 mm.

 

ANGULAR RIM SHAPE

An angular rim shape reduces weight and enhances durability of the wheels.

For the Endurance and Gravel wheels, we have adopted an angular rim shape in the new 1800 line to reduce weight while enhancing durability when the terrain becomes more demanding. The optimised rim profile improves structural strength and impact resistance, helping the wheels withstand rough roads, gravel tracks, and provide more comfort on longer tours.

·         ENDURANCE - The E 1800 SPLINE wheelset goes from 1.764 g down to 1.627 g, with a 24 mm rim inner width and 20 mm rim height.

·         GRAVEL - The G 1800 SPLINE wheelset goes from 1.835 g down to 1.681 g, with a 26 mm rim inner width and 20 mm rim height.

 

FRONT DYNAMO HUB OPTION

A dynamo hub that smoothly converts the energy of your pedal strokes into electric light.

·         DYNAMO - What makes the dynamo hub special is hidden in the hub shell. From a distance, what looks like a standard hub when fitted to your wheelset is actually hiding a dynamo.

·         EFFICIENCY - As one of the most efficient technologies on the market, our dynamo hub with the SP PL-7 generator achieve an efficiency of 72 % at 15 km/h, while delivering a 6V3W standard output.

·         DURABILITY - With a tailor-made hub shell, you can rely on the build quality you have come to expect from DT Swiss hubs, while benefiting from our global network of service centres for a seamless customer journey.

·         COMPATIBILITY - Our front Dynamo Hub being StVZO compliant with a 6V3W rating, ensures compatibility with standard hub dynamo products including dynamo lamps and converters for USB powered devices.
