DT Swiss PR 1400 DiCut OXiC Wheel

The OXiC ceramic coating provides a significantly harder surface than standard aluminum, which results in superior braking performance and modulation, especially in wet conditions. It also makes the rim surface much more resistant to wear over time.

No, you must use the specific brake pads provided with the wheel. Using standard pads will not provide the intended braking performance and may damage the OXiC ceramic surface.

Yes, the rim is tubeless-ready. You can run it with tubeless tires for better puncture protection and comfort, or use it with standard clincher tires and inner tubes if you prefer.

The asymmetric design allows for more balanced spoke tension between the drive and non-drive sides of the wheel. This creates a stiffer, more responsive wheel that handles power transfer more efficiently during sprints and climbs.

Yes, the wheel includes the necessary titanium skewer and the specific brake pads required for the OXiC surface, so you are ready to install it right out of the box.

The 36t (tooth) ratchet system provides a faster engagement angle compared to standard pawl-based hubs. This means there is less 'dead space' when you start pedaling, resulting in more immediate power transfer.
