EX 1700 Classic 30 Boost Rear Wheel - 29" DEG 72 DF

DT Swiss EX 1700 Classic 30 Boost Rear Wheel - 29" is a hard-charging aluminum rear wheel built for enduro and aggressive trail riding where line choices aren’t always tidy. Its asymmetric, welded-joint rim is designed to balance spoke tension for a more consistent build, while the proven DT Swiss 350 hub and Ratchet DEG system deliver fast pickup and reliable durability on rough terrain.

Trail-ready details that matter

1. Asymmetric, welded aluminum rim - Helps equalize spoke tension for a stronger, more durable wheel build under big hits and repeated compressions.
2. Boost rear spacing - Built for modern mountain bike frames, improving wheel stiffness and tracking when pushing through high-load corners and rock gardens.
3. DT Competition Race spokes - Double-butted spoke design reduces weight in the midsection while maintaining stiffness and long-term durability.
4. Hand-laced build with hex aluminum nipples - Promotes even tension and service-friendly truing; nipple shape also helps reduce tubeless tape pinching during setup.
5. DT Swiss 350 hub reliability - A proven, low-maintenance platform designed for high-mileage use and straightforward servicing.
6. Ratchet DEG 72-point engagement - High engagement for quicker power transfer in technical climbing and punchy accelerations, with an integrated anti-pedal-kickback tuning system.

Tubeless setup is straightforward: the wheel is tubeless ready with tape pre-installed, and it includes 32mm tubeless tape plus a black alloy tubeless valve (18–25mm).
