The weekend is just around the corner. Prepare your adventure with the versatile XMC 1501 SPLINE ONE: light on the uphill, dependable on the way down as you explore new paths until the sun sets. Link in bio for more info on the wheelset. ๐ธ: @gaudenzdanuser

Getting to the goal has never been easy. There are components that make it possible to get there faster through precise aerodynamic development, such as our ERC 1400 SPLINE wheels. Find all details on these wheels through our link in bio. ๐ธ: @fotostudio_h1

One finger adjustability. The 232 ONE platform is our latest XC-oriented suspension range. Connected to the Two-in-One remote lever, you can quickly choose the right setting for any riding situation. Link in bio to discover how we push the boundaries of XC even further. ๐ธ: @fotostudio_h1

Maloja Pushbikers presenting their vision of a dream build with the XRC 1200 SPLINE. Paired with the supreme 180 hub and its ceramic bearings for low rolling resistance and the highest step of the podium. Link in bio for more info about the XRC 1200 SPLINE. ๐ธ: @fotostudio_h1

Maintenance for reliability. Cleaning and greasing not only extends the durability of a hub but will also maintain its best performance capability. Find all information about maintenance, spare parts, and conversion options in our Product Support tool - link in bio. ๐ธ: @raineduponmedia

The no-tool concept enables simple maintenance, saving time in the workshop to get more trail time. Another advantage is the ability to quickly change the freehub body, for example to switch between your different wheelsets, exploiting the full range of use of your bike. Find all information about freehub body conversion options in our Product Support tool - link in bio. #engineeringperformance ๐ธ: @raineduponmedia

The no-tool concept found on all our hubs allows a tool-free disassembly for a small hub service in the workshop or even in the parking lot before your next ride. Find all information about service and spare parts in our Product Support tool - link in bio. ๐ธ: @raineduponmedia

In the prototyping phase of the development process, our mechanical engineer Simon Hugentobler and Jean-Paul Ballard from Swiss Side conduct real-world tests in the wind tunnel. If the prototypes can successfully reproduce the CFD data in the wind tunnel, this ensures that the wheel performs best in reality too. #rebornfaster #meticulousdevelopment #aerodynamics #aerodynamicsbyswissside #swissside #windtunnel

While the first prototypes are being assembled in the BPM, Simon checks if the new DT aerolite II spokes can be mounted properly in the intended aerodynamic position and exchanges opinions in front of the camera. #rebornfaster #meticulousdevelopment #bpm

The field of expertise of Simon Hugentobler, our mechanical engineer, involves special projects focusing on aerodynamics. He was involved from the very beginning on the development of the new ARC wheels, doing wind tunnel tests and advising internally on aerodynamics and with which prototype to proceed. He also collaborated on the development of the new spoke shape with the aim of reducing rotational drag. By the way: last chance to head over to the REBORN FASTER doc on our YouTube channel if you'd like to enter the sweepstakes (link in bio). The sweepstake is open until tomorrow. #rebornfaster #meticulousdevelopment #aerodynamics #aerodynamicsbyswissside #swissside #windtunnel

As part of the open design competition #readytopaint organized by OPEN Cycle and DT Swiss, participants from around the world shared their personal stories on the topic.

It deals with the feeling of autonomy, letting go and free development, which is made possible by cycling. It is about the fact that we humans are like leaves or dandelion seeds in the wind, letting ourselves be driven by our ideas, wishes and goals.โ ๐ช๐ต๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฝ๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐ฐ๐ต๐ผ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ? ๐. ๐๐ช๐ฏ๐ฏ๐ข๐ด๐ต: โFor me, this motif is the embodiment of the symbiosis of experiencing nature and the feeling of freedom. [โฆ] Everything should appear light, airy and detached, like the sky and passing fields and meadows. For me, the dandelion is a sign of this feeling of letting go and freedom, whereas the watercolor background takes up the spring-like, light and light-flooded colors of nature and reflects them in pastel shades. Once again I have found my inspiration in nature.โ ๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ? ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐! #readytopaint @opencycle

Already in my childhood I rode most of the routes by bike, because I enjoyed feeling and smelling the air, the wind and the scents of nature. With a bike I can ride along paths that would be too far on foot and too impenetrable with a motorized vehicle. My faithful Ghost mountain bike, which was already 16 years old, took me up small mountains, through forests along the lakeside and the banks of the river, to school and today some days to work. [โฆ] Riding a bike means for me to recharge my batteries, to enjoy nature, to be on the move in an environmentally conscious way and always get a bit further to my destination. Even if the goal of the day is simply to cycle.โ ๐ช๐ต๐ถ๐ฐ๐ต ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ผ๐ป๐ฎ๐น ๐๐๐ผ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐ป๐ป๐ฒ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐ฐ๐น๐ฒ? ๐๐ฒ๐ ๐๐ ๐ธ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ฐ๐ผ๐บ๐บ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐! #readytopaint @opencycle

For the analysis of the wheels, we go to the GST Windtunnel in Immenstaad to test and confirm the expected performance of the newly developed ARC wheel design. #rebornfaster #meticulousdevelopment #aerodynamics #aerodynamicsbyswissside #swissside

We take a look behind the scenes of our video shoot to share how it looked in our wind tunnel, prototype production (BPM - Biel Performance Manufacturing) and test center. See behind the camera of the doc "Reborn Faster: an Insight into the Redevelopment". #rebornfaster #meticulousdevelopment
