HUNT 5AM Limitless: New aero wheels for 2.30 euros per gram

- ENVE is positioning the XC28 as a mid-priced carbon wheelset for cross-country, marathon and trail with a 28 mm rim width for 2.4" tyres.  
- Technologies such as Wide Hookless Bead, Moulded Spoke Holes and Innerdrive hubs are designed to offer stability, puncture protection and low-maintenance performance.  
- At €1,649, the XC28 is more expensive than some of its competitors, but offers ENVE technology as a cheaper alternative to its own M series.

ENVE XC28: Noble carbon wheels at a popular price?

- 32" wheels are around 31% softer than 29" wheels with an identical construction and therefore require adapted designs for stiffness and durability.  
- The greatest gain in stiffness per gram is achieved with wider hubs (Boost/Superboost); more or thicker spokes provide additional stiffness with additional weight.  
- 32" also affects brakes, frame, fork and stem; larger discs, longer and more stable frames/forks and adapted stems are necessary.

Newmen study on 32-inch wheels: clear recommendations from the wheel experts

- DT Swiss completely overhauls the 1500 series: carbon rims, asymmetric profiles, DF freewheel, expensive high-end wheels, some of which are e-MTB-compatible.  
- Asymmetric rims and new design increase durability and riding comfort; EXC 1500 receives ASTM5 downhill approval, some with lifetime warranty.  
- DF freehub with adjustable free travel improves suspension performance; XRC, XMC, EXC, HXC models cover use from XC race to heavy E-MTBs.

DT Swiss 1500 2027: Downhill release at DT - carbon wheels in Indestructible?

- DT Swiss is restructuring the 1700 MTB mid-range: fewer models, asymmetric rims, specialised wheels for every application.  
- Four variants: XRC (XC with carbon rim), XM (all-mountain), EX (enduro with downhill approval), HX (reinforced E-MTB wheel).  
- Prices from €749.80 (XRC from €1,299.80); focus on durability, DEG DF freehub against pedal kickback, higher weight accepted in some cases.

DT Swiss 1700 wheels 2027: Downhill approval and carbon for the middle class

- HUNT Proven Trail Carbon: very stiff, direct acceleration (2° engagement), high efficiency, but limited comfort and traction.  
- One year endurance test: no damage, perfect concentricity and spoke tension, butter-smooth running bearings, high robustness confirmed.  
- H_Core technology for stability, different rim profiles front/rear, centre lock only, H_Care with lifetime crash replacement and 3-year warranty.

Indestructible and high performance at a great price: Hunt Proven Trail carbon wheels in an endurance test

- Specialised is launching two new gravel wheelsets: Terra Aero CLX (aero-oriented) and Terra CLX III (light, all-terrain), both for 35-60 mm tyres.

Maximum speed: New gravel wheels from Specialized

- Das Reserve Fillmore-Ventil bietet dreifachen Luftdurchfluss im Vergleich zu Standardventilen und erleichtert die Tubeless-Montage ohne Kompressor.
- Ein durchgängiger Ventilstift verhindert das Eindringen von Dichtmittel, während die Staubkappe den Luftdruck fein regulieren lässt.
- Bei Verlust der Staubkappe kann das Ventil nicht mehr geschlossen werden, was zu Luftverlust während der Fahrt führen kann.
