The DT Swiss EX 1700 Classic Rear Wheel is a hard-charging 27.5" MTB rear wheel built around a proven 350-series hub and a welded, asymmetric alloy rim for reliable enduro-grade performance. With a 12x157 Super Boost rear axle interface and an XD Slim driver, it targets modern frames and drivetrain setups that demand stiffness, precise tracking, and consistent engagement under load.

Key technical advantages for aggressive trail and enduro use

1. Tubeless-Ready, Asymmetric Welded Alloy Rim - Asymmetric drilling helps balance spoke tension for long-term stability, while tubeless compatibility supports lower pressures for traction and pinch-flat resistance (rim tape and valve included).
2. DT Swiss 350 Classic 6-Bolt Disc Hub - Service-friendly hub design with 6-bolt rotor compatibility for straightforward brake setup and parts support.
3. 72T Ratchet DEG System - Fast, consistent engagement feel for technical climbing and quick power application out of corners.
4. Degrees of Freedom (0/10/20° settings) - Installed system provides an on/off, adjustable free movement option intended to help manage pedal kickback characteristics on compatible setups.
5. Competition Race J-Bend Double-Butted Spokes + ProLock Squorx Nipples - DT’s performance spoke/nipple spec helps maintain tension and durability through repeated impacts and hard braking.
