"At first I was not sure if I really needed carbon wheels on my gravel bike. But when I rode with the gravel wheels for he first time, it was immediately clear to me that I needed some. The wide rim makes them perfect for wider Gravel tires. I prefer to ride them tubeless and can reduce tire pressure without sacrificing comfort. The 42 mm rim height makes the GRC 1400 a real eye-catcher, but still really lightweight."

"I was lucky to ride the GRC 1400 SPLINE 42 in Colombia. Also on gravel roads in Italy, France and Germany. Whether I had to cross really thick stones or fine gravel, I always had comfort and control. And because the wheelset is 42 mm high, I can even get through sand or high mud quickly and safely. As soon as I am on the road, I have the desired stiffness again. I have really tested the wheels in the most extreme conditions and I am super happy with how safely the wheels have gotten me through the very worst."

“I've been riding and racing on DT Swiss for the better part of 10+ years. Reliablity, serviceability, quality and cutting edge Swiss engineering always have me rolling with confidence, regardless if its a 1 hour workout or a 350 mile self-supported gravel race.”

"The perfect companion on our bike adventures, whether bikepacking with changing terrain or fast descents on the root trail! Robust and low maintenance! A visual upgrade for every bike. The wide rim gives the tire grip on any surface. Even when it gets faster, you don’t have to compromise on aerodynamics! Tubeless is also safe for (almost) every puncture. Cool parts!"

"Buy if: you're after aerodynamic efficiency on your gravel bike."

"Considering the DT Swiss GRC 1400 wheels’ general build quality, performance attributes and finishing touches as a whole, ultimately I would say they are an unusually versatile proposition that still perfectly suit a gravel bike’s do-anything remit."

How can a larger rim width add safety to your gravel riding?
A larger rim inner width increases side wall stability. Our GRC 1400 SPLINE 42 db wheels have an inner width of 24 mm which supports the lateral stiffness of your tire and prevents burping at low tire pressures. #engineeringperformance#competitiveedge@radrace

If you enjoy long, unsupported rides, 650b wheels are ideal. As they offer more tire clearance, you can run wider tires (up to 53 mm on our rims). That means more comfort on your adventure!
