We have taken all our aluminium wheel know-how and put it in the high
performing package. EX 1700 SPLINE wheels are based on our famous 36t
RATCHET hubs combining it with a super strong and welded 30 mm wide
aluminium rim. The rim profile is designed to withstand the hardest use
of Enduro racing while still keeping the weight low for long and
demanding uphills. Laced to double butted competition straightpull
spokes, the EX 1700 SPLINE wheels are built to take a beating.

«The EX 1700 SPLINE is rightly DT Swiss’ flagship aluminium wheelset for enduro use. They put up with 18-months of the toughest racing conditions without complaint. A certain amount of wear and tear is to be expected, especially on the rear rim. The quality of the EX 1700 SPLINE isn’t just extremely high in terms of its components, but above all in the wheel build itself, which justifies the € 750 price tag.»
mtb product of the year

«Put simply, they just work, ride after ride, are easy to work on and are actually the same wheels that many of us, Pinkbike editors and industry riders, would build up if we had the choice. That says a lot about DT Swiss' individual components but in particular these EX 1700 wheels." and it sums it up perfectly. Most of us have had time on this wheelset at some point in the year and they've proven to be a reliable and no-nonsense choice.»
BY RYAN WALSCH
«It is hard to look past the EX 1700 Spline wheel set, it out performs and will certainly outlast many other alloy and carbon offerings available, with all the precision attributes of a high end wheel with the quality to match.»

His pair of EX 1700 SPLINE made sure he could be the fastest across the rough mountainous track.
Congrats on the home turf win!

@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?

With four podium spots between Pro Men’s and Pro Women’s classes, the Yeti / FOX Race Team made a great demonstration the first weekend of May in Ironton, MO. A great opportunity to put the EX 1700 SPLINE to work in demanding conditions with rocky and wet tracks.
Congrats! @lauren_bingham_ got 4th in the Pro Women category. In the Pro Men category, @richie_rude1 came in 1st, @shawnneer in 2nd, @warrenkniss in 3rd and @quinnreece in 6th.

Aggressive riding and gnarly terrain is what we had in mind when designing the EX 1700 SPLINE. This wheelset is super solid and can sure take a beating. EX 511 rims, a 350 hub and Competition spokes, what else? Photo: @thesureshot.tv
Rider: @irm_70
@irm_70 has a modest and mellow manner – that said, his riding style is the exact opposite of his personality. Now lean back and enjoy him ripping on the new EX 1700 SPLINE wheels.
Spoiler alert: He’s definitely not holding back!

Reliable components are not enough to create a reliable wheel - the final step is decisive. The way a wheel is built is what turns quality components into a quality wheel.
Like all wheels developed by DT Swiss, the 1501 SPLINE® ONE and the 1700 SPLINE® are assembled by hand. With the highest precision and the smallest possible tolerance, which until now would never be reached by a conventional wheel building machine, hundreds of wheels are assembled every week in Switzerland, Poland, Asia, and in America – by hand. #whatyouwouldbuild#engineeringperformance
WHAT YOU WOULD BUILD - introducing the all-new 1700 SPLINE.
Some of you may now wonder what happen to the benchmark aluminium wheelset?
Well, we didn’t forget it! We had a close look at the market and checked what people build on their own. The findings are combined in the new 1700 SPLINE. Benchmark alloy rims, bombproof redesigned 350 hubs - upgraded by a 36t SL Ratchet System.
