XM 1700 Spline 29" Rear Wheel

DT Swiss XM 1700 Spline 29" Rear Wheel is a high-performance 29er mountain bike rear wheel built around DT’s proven hub internals, a welded alloy rim, and a service-friendly tubeless-ready setup. It’s designed for riders who want fast engagement, consistent wheel stiffness, and long-term reliability without stepping into full carbon pricing.

The asymmetric welded rim improves spoke bracing angles for a more balanced build, while straight-pull double-butted spokes keep weight in check and maintain strength where it counts. At the center, the Spline 350-series Center Lock hub pairs a fast-engaging 72t Ratchet DEG System with an adjustable Degrees of Freedom on/off pedal kickback setting for tuning feel to the terrain and drivetrain setup.
