@richie_rude1 took the Enduro wheel EX 1700 SPLINE to the top step of the podium at this year’s second Big Mountain Enduro, this time in Big Sky, Montana. A total of 25 minutes of racing over 8 stages with a difference of only 4 seconds between 1st and 2nd place, proves that at this level, there is no room for chance and that consistency is key. We'd like to hear from you - how is your racing season going? Photo: @jamesstokoephoto #engineeringperformance #ambitiouscyclist #dreambuild #cycling #mtb #mountainbike

The Commencal META TR 29 of @yannis_pele equipped with a pair of carbon EXC 1501 SPLINE ONE Enduro wheels. The incredible drone tracking footage shows both the dynamic and resistant nature of these wheels - perfectly suited features for riding the tricky terrain around the Auron resort in the Mercantour mountains. Are you a wheelie or nose wheelie rider? Yannis seems quite comfortable with both!

The Thömus Lightrider WC of @rnracingteam rider @mathflueck with a paint job by @maxheideggerag - what do you think about this special design? This bike is a great combination of our F 232 ONE fork and R 232 ONE shock with the carbonized XRC 1200 SPLINE wheels, delivering grip, control and reactivity when needed. 📸: @rnracingteam #engineeringperformance #ambitiouscyclist #dreambuild #cycling #mtb #mountainbike

Long road cycling trips gave @tddbllrd the freedom to explore new landscapes, stay fit and simply spend time with himself, thus experiencing a healthier and more balanced lifestyle. Link in bio to watch this touching movie by @carterballard115 #ambitiouscyclist #roadcycling

Road cycling changed the life of #ambitiouscyclist @tddbllrd. A truly touching father-son documentary by @carterballard115. Link in bio to watch the full movie.

After neglecting other parts of his life @tddbllrd found his way back to where he came from: road cycling. Not back into a competitive environment but into a more therapeutic one. Creating an outlet to think and gaining me-time provided him with the ability to counterbalance different factors in his life and appreciate the experience.

The DT Squorx Pro Head has a combination of the technologies we use in our various nipples. The ideal placement according to spoke angle with Pro Head, the strong connection with Pro Lock technology and the quick assembly with the torx tool interface make it a favorite nipple for mechanics on the world's circuits. Do you know these small washers and why we use them in selected rims? We’ll leave the answer in the comments on Monday. #engineeringperformance #meticulousdevelopment

When building a wheel, the spokes cross, bend and do not stay perfectly straight. The DT Pro Head nipple adjusts precisely to the angle of each spoke, allowing a homogeneous spoke tension across the wheel, which in turn increases it's reliability. We're still in love with that 240 Oil Slick hub, aren’t you? 📸1: @reamonnsucks / @worldwidecyclery #engineeringperformance #meticulousdevelopment #oilslick

The Pro Lock® technology is a process where a liquid is injected into the nipple and is activated when it comes into contact with the spoke thread. This makes for an extremely durable wheel that you can trust on any terrain and easily maintain with only a minimal decrease of its thread-lock function.

DT Swiss Gravel wheels are your dependable companions on all gravel terrains. A beautiful match with @bikeonscott all-new Addict Gravel. 📸: @bikeonscott #engineeringperformance #meticulousdevelopment #noshortcuts #scottaddictgravel

Getting lost has never been this easy. The @bikeonscott Addict Gravel dream bike with its fully integrated cable routing, progressive geometry and modern tire clearance to ride 45 mm tires on DT Swiss Gravel wheels. 📸: @bikeonscott #graveladventures #gravelriding #noshortcuts #scottaddictgravel

Modern gravel bike frames offer a tire clearance for 45 mm wide gravel tires in 700C. Like the all-new @bikeonscott Addict Gravel, featuring Gravel wheelsets from DT Swiss. 📸: @bikeonscott #graveladventures #gravelriding #noshortcuts #scottaddictgravel

Turn your focus to the background. Mechanics tend to be on the sidelines of races, but their work is essential for the success of the racers. Professional mechanic @lowisdmr ensures that Jack Moir's bike reliably operates. Reliability provides riders with the confidence they need to focus on what they want to achieve. Do you prefer to take care of your bike yourself or do you like to work with a mechanic? 📸: @maddogboris #engineeringperformance

The fastest bikes of the EWS races last weekend. @jackmoir rides a Canyon Strive, while @richie_rude1 is on a Yeti SB150. Both of them ride DT Swiss Enduro wheelsets with a 30 mm inner width. Which one would you choose to tackle the trails? 📸: @maddogboris #ambitiouscyclist #engineeringperformance

Jack Moir and Richie Rude are the fastest Enduro riders this season, battling it out for 1st and 2nd places at the EWS. Richie took 1st place on his Yeti in the first round in La Thuile while Jack won on his Canyon in the second round. One thing they have in common? Both rely on DT Swiss. Who do you think will come out on top at the end of the season? @richie_rude1 and @jackmoir - congrats and thanks for the exciting battle! 📸: @maddogboris #ambitiouscyclist #engineeringperformance
