Market: At the end of the cyclocross racing season, DT Swiss presents the CRC 1100 Spline T and CRC 1400 Spline wheel sets. With the new carbon models, the Swiss company completes the cross-road category. The CRC 1100 Spline T and CRC 1400 Spline wheels were tested in competitions throughout the season - with proven success!
Some things just take a little longer. Without a doubt, the presentation of the two new DT Swiss carbon wheels CRC 1100 Spline T and CRC 1400 Spline happened at a fairly late point in time, but the "apology" for this is really impressive. Before the official start of sales, the new carbon models were tested under the toughest conditions in competitions throughout the entire cyclocross season. The mission was crowned with Eli Iserbyt and Michael Vanthourenhout winning a gold and silver medal at the CX World Championships in Valkenburg. So the market launch can come! With the carbon wheels, DT Swiss completes the cross-road category at the top. So far, this has included the entry-level model C 1800 Spline and the CR 1600 Spline, which is one quality level above.
The CRC 1400 Spline is designed as a wheelset for all challenges. In addition to use in cyclocross, the carbon model is also suitable for gravel use. In this context, the manufacturer emphasizes the reliability and outstanding performance in tough cross use away from the asphalt. The wheel with tubeless ready carbon rim and 240s hub has been optimized for wide tubeless tires. The inner rim width is 22 millimeters and the outer width is 28 millimeters with a rim height of 24 millimeters. According to DT Swiss, the front wheel weighs 622 grams. The rear wheel weighs 767 grams. The system weight is limited to a maximum of 120 kilograms. The DT Swiss wheelset CRC 1400 Spline is available at a price of 1978 euros.
The top model in the Cross Road category is the DT Swiss CRC 1100 Spline T carbon wheel. The model was developed for ambitious CX riders who demand maximum performance on the racetrack. The cyclocross-specific tubular carbon rim comes in the dimensions 26 x 38 mm (width x height). The center of the impeller is the Spline 240s hub with SINC Ceramic bearings. With a weight of 589 grams (front) and 733 grams (rear), the wheels are also very lightweight. As with the CRC 1400 Spline, the maximum system weight is 120 kilograms. If you want to call this fine CX wheelset your own, you have to dig deep into your pocket: the price for the pair is 2408 euros. That means saving a lot!
