Explore unbeaten paths - at full pace. With a wheelset that is
engineered and optimized for high speed on gravel routes and beyond.
Wheel now also available in version with Campagnolo N3W freehub body.
Introducing the Gravel racing king - GRC 1400 SPLINE 42. The most
sophisticated gravel wheelset out there on the market. Taking a holistic
approach to engineering, we rethought the characteristics of a modern
benchmark-setting gravel wheelset. Aerodynamic efficiency, ideal support
of wide gravel tires leading to unprecedented comfort and traction
off-road as well as remarkable durability - these are just some of the
key features that make this wheelset the perfect companion for your next
gravel adventure.
Freehub body availability for Campagnolo N3W standard (EKAR Gravel drivetrain): DT Swiss now offers appropriate freehub bodies for the Ratchet and Ratchet EXP freehub, available as kit with matching endcap. DT Swiss wheels with Campagnolo N3W standard will follow soon.

We believe in the art of engineering and strive for sophistication in the product development process. Our guiding idea is to constantly push barriers with our inhouse developed technologies.
"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."

Our GRC 1400 SPLINE wheels being assembled here with a very unique design.
@besignss was one of the 79 artists who took part in the #ReadyToPaint challenge.
As the winner, his designs were brought to life on a unique, custom @opencycle bike, of course with matching @dtswiss wheels.
Taking a designer's vision from the paper/digital world and bringing it into reality was a truly special experience. Thank you to everyone who participated!

@8barbikes exhibited their Mitte V3 at Craft Bike Days. Voted “Bike of the Show” in the Gravel category, the Mitte V3 is a gravel or road racing bike, thanks to flip chips that enable geometry modification.
Combined with GRC 1400 SPLINE wheels or the new ERC 1400 DICUT, it will certainly prove to be efficient on roads and trails.

The @opencycle U.P. frame features a matte black finish with a special design on the fork, chain stays and seat tube. This design is carried through on a set of GRC 1400 SPLINE 42 wheels and a one-off design incorporated into the rear derailleur, crank arms and levers, custom created by @sramroad.
With this collaboration, a one-of-a-kind #gravelbike has been created and one person will get to take it home. Please support our fundraising campaign for @worldbicyclerelief!

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
