Product news: With the new DT Swiss Mon Chasseral wheels, the Swiss manufacturer is presenting the newest member of its lightweight series. The PRC 1100 Dicut 24 should be light, agile and reliable and should score particularly well when climbing.
The Mon Chasseral mountain bike series from DT Swiss has been around since 2007. It is named after the local mountain of the Swiss manufacturer. The latest DT Swiss Mon Chasseral wheel, PRC 1100 Dicut 24, is the lightest wheel from DT Swiss at 1266 grams. The out-of-the-mold carbon rims with a rim height of 24 millimeters are tubeless ready and for disc brakes. This innovative out-of-the-mold construction allows weight to be saved, while the fine carbon structure of the rims is also visible.
Due to the low weight, the wheels should not only be able to climb particularly quickly, but should also outperform all other DT Swiss wheels in terms of acceleration. When accelerating from zero to 30 km/h, compared to the DT Swiss PRC 1100 Dicut 35, energy savings are as much as 15 percent. With the best stiffness values, the DT Swiss Mon Chasseral impeller can convince with a good stiffness-to-weight ratio, which should ensure liveliness and agility in practice.
The hubs of the Mon Chasseral wheel are also designed to be lightweight. A newly developed hub shell and a smaller, narrower hub flange, as well as cut-outs in the center lock system ensure that the DT Swiss 180 Dicut hubs are light. The weight has also been reduced thanks to smaller Sinc-Ceramic ball bearings and a light aluminum freehub for Shimano 11-speed.
But the spokes are also specially trimmed. Twelve DT Aerolite and twelve DT Aero Comp spokes are mounted on each wheel. The special thing about it is that DT Swiss develops all the spokes for its wheels themselves and produces them in Switzerland. In addition to lightweight construction and stability, the topic of aerodynamics also comes into play. The flattening of the spokes ensures better aerodynamics, while the T-shaped spoke ends allow for more aerodynamic lacing.
