DT Swiss EX 1700 Spline 29" Disc Center Lock Boost wheels
The aluminium Enduro wheelset - made for the roughest Enduro tracks around the world.
DT Swiss has taken all its aluminium wheel know-how and used it to create this ultra-high-performance wheel. The EX 1700 SPLINE wheels are based on the famous RATCHET 36T hubs combined with a super strong, welded 30 mm wide aluminium rim. The rim profile is designed for Enduro racing, while being light enough to tackle the longest and most demanding climbs. Attached to double-butted competition straightpull spokes, the EX 1700 SPLINE wheels are built to withstand the toughest blows.
Features
- Rim: The EX 1700 SPLINE is built with the 30 mm wide EX 511 Enduro rims, appreciated for their robustness and low weight.

Technologies
Ratchet
The patented freewheel system, which features high-precision star ratchets, guarantees top performance and reliability.
The simultaneous engagement of the ratchet teeth makes the Ratchet System extremely reliable since the loads are distributed equally across a large contact surface. The plug-in construction of the Ratchet System hubs allows for quick and tool-free maintenance. The no-tool concept allows the conversion to a different drivetrain standard within seconds.
Tubeless
All DT Swiss wheelsets are tubeless compatible and the ASM versions come tubeless ready, equipped with tubeless tape and valves. Tubeless tires have a number of advantages over the conventional combination of tube and tire: without risking snakebites, the tire can be run with lower pressures providing better grip. The lower pressure also results in a more comfortable ride. Eliminating the tube means there is no friction between tube and tire and therefore less rolling resistance when the tire rolls over the ground and obstacles. If tubeless sealant is used, the tire can self-seal stings and small cuts. A big advantage for all those who like to ride for long and far away from the next bikeshop.
Pro Lock
Pro Lock is a process where a dual compound, adhesive liquid is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for extremely durable wheel builds. By threading the nipple onto the spoke the adhesive is activated and starts to harden. Re-truing the wheel is still possible after the adhesive has hardened completely, with only a minimal decrease of its thread-lock function. DT Pro Lock nipples prevent the spoke-nipple connection from loosening, wheel durability improves up to 20 times compared to non Pro Lock builds. Suitable for either hand or machine built wheels. Use of grease or oil not recommended. All DT Swiss nipples are available with and without DT Pro Lock.
PHR
The PHR system increases the load-bearing surface of the nipples on the rim and reduces localized stresses. Peak loads are reduced allowing us to build the rim even lighter. The shape of the washer also acts as a ball joint and automatically aligns the specific DT Squorx Pro Head® ball head nipples with the spoke, further reducing the risk of spoke failure or rim cracking.
