E-MTB-friendly toughness at a budget-friendly price; the H 1900's have long been the choice for EMTB riders looking for improved reliability and the latest versions have been upgraded with Ratchet LN technology to provide even more trouble-free laps
- E-MTB's are tough on wheels, really tough, not only is there the added weight and higher maximum drive torque but E-MTB riders tend to ride further and more frequently, this adds up to a real challenge for anyone looking to design a truly durable wheel for long term E-MTB use
- The result is DT's mission Hybrid, the first wheel engineering project to look specifically at the challenges of heavy duty E-MTB use for wheels
- So, what's changed? the short answer... Everything!
- The H 1900's hub shells are oversized to improve overall stiffness and the rear hub contains an 18-tooth ratchet LN freehub system, by far and away the most reliable drive mechanism available at this price point
- The sleeved alloy rims have reinforced spoke beds to resist fatigue and handle high loads for long periods of time
- The straight pull spokes are custom made for Hybrid with an oversized 2.35 mm hub interface designed to protect one of the key points of stress on any wheel
- In order for a wheel to pass as Hybrid certified in DT's inhouse testing lab it has to survive 50% more lifecycles, its spokes and rims have to endure 20% higher load tests and the bearings must be able to handle almost twice the maximum load of a standard wheel
- Whilst intended for E-MTB use, the Hybrid range is also ideal for larger riders, bike packers or anyone looking for a really durable wheelset with a high weight limit
- Available in a 30 mm internal width to support modern high volume trail rubber
- System weight limit: 150KG, Come with DT tubeless rim tape and valves included
