DT Swiss HGC 1400 Spline Rear Wheel

This wheel is specifically engineered for E-gravel bikes, featuring components designed to handle the extra torque and weight of an electric motor. While it uses standard 12x142mm spacing, it is optimized for the unique demands of E-gravel riding rather than traditional gravel setups.

The HGC 1400 Spline comes with a SRAM XDR freehub body. Please ensure your current cassette is compatible with the XDR standard before purchasing.

This wheel is designed for Center-Lock disc brake rotors. It is not compatible with 6-bolt rotor systems unless you use a Center-Lock to 6-bolt adapter.

The 3-cross spoke pattern is chosen for its superior durability and strength, which is essential for E-gravel bikes. It provides a robust structure that can better manage the increased power transfer and stress compared to lower cross patterns.

Yes, this rim is designed for Presta valves. The internal rim width of 24mm is ideal for modern, wider gravel tires, allowing for a stable tubeless setup.

The hidden nipples are integrated into the rim profile, which improves aerodynamics and creates a cleaner look. The 'Pro Lock' technology includes a built-in locking compound that prevents the spokes from loosening over time, even under the high-vibration conditions of gravel riding.
