DT Swiss

EX 1700 Classic 29" Super Boost Rear Wheel

DT Swiss EX 1700 Classic 29" Super Boost Rear Wheel is a purpose-built rear wheel for riders who want DT Swiss durability with fast, controlled power transfer. The tubeless-ready, asymmetric welded alloy rim is designed to balance spoke tension and improve bracing angles, helping the wheel stay true longer under hard riding while supporting a lower-pressure tubeless setup for traction and puncture resistance.

At the hub, the classic DT Swiss 350-series platform pairs a 6-bolt disc interface with the 72t Ratchet DEG System for quick engagement and consistent drive feel. With Degrees of Freedom installed, the hub also adds a simple, rider-tunable way to manage pedal kickback behavior with 0/10/20 degree settings—useful for dialing the feel to match the bike’s suspension and terrain.
