The DT Swiss P 1800 Spline 23 embodies the perfect balance between legendary Swiss reliability, versatility and accessibility. This 700C front wheel with rim brakes features a modern 23 mm high aluminum rim, a DT 370 hub renowned for its longevity, and DT Aero Comp straight pull aero spokes for optimal stiffness. Designed for demanding cyclists seeking a robust, lightweight (694 g) and tubeless-ready wheel, it transforms every training ride into pleasure and becomes your ally for intense outings or first races. Compatible with traditional quick release, it is designed for classic road bikes equipped with rim brakes, with DT Swiss quality that has been a benchmark for decades.

Technical overview and product philosophy

At the heart of this wheel is a balanced profile aluminum rim (18 mm internal, 23 mm external, 23 mm high), optimized for modern road tires from 23 to 35 mm. The Tubeless Ready TC Hooked/Crotchet design guarantees secure bead retention even at high pressure (> 5 bars), while allowing simple tubeless mounting thanks to the pre-installed rim tape and included tubeless valves. The DT Swiss 370 hub with 3 pawls system offers an excellent reliability/weight ratio and can be upgraded later to the Ratchet LN 18-tooth system to improve engagement and durability. The 24 DT Aero Comp Wide Straight Pull spokes in radial lacing provide lateral stiffness, efficient power transfer and clean aesthetics, all held by ultra-precise ProLock Squorx ProHead aluminum nipples. ASTM 1 classification, this wheel is approved for intensive road use (max system load 120 kg).
