For cyclists who are not afraid of dark trails or long days on the bike, has DT Swiss launched something special: a wheel set with integrated hub dynamo. Under the banner "Bring New Adventures to Light", this innovation promises a reliable power supply without sacrificing performance. DT Swiss is introducing the new wheel set with dynamo to the wider public, thus "revolutionising" it.
Always light, always on the move
The idea behind this wheel set is simple: power your lights (and possibly other devices) while you cycle. The dynamo is integrated in the front wheel hub and generates energy as soon as you start riding. No more hassle with dead batteries or loose powerbanks - your bike generates its own power. Useful for bikepackers, but also for anyone who sometimes rides longer than planned and arrives home in the dark.
What does that mean for your ride?
A dynamo often conjures up associations with the old-fashioned feeling of pedalling through treacle. But you can safely forget that image with this DT Swiss set. The dynamo is designed so that the extra resistance is minimal, barely noticeable while riding. According to DT Swiss, this is the most efficient solution they could develop, with no compromises in speed or comfort.
Sustainable and practical
With an alternator, you will not only be better prepared for long tours, but also contribute to sustainability. No more disposable batteries, less hassle with charging and a constant power supply: it sounds like a smart choice for the future. In addition, the wheelset is designed for a variety of conditions: rain, mud, cold - it should be able to withstand it all.
Who is this interesting for?
This wheelset seems particularly aimed at the adventure cyclist. Think bikepackers, long-distance riders and gravel riders who like to go off the beaten track. But also if you just often leave early or come home in the dark, this could be a handy solution. Moreover, the wheelset is compatible with disc brakes and different frame types, making it accessible to many cyclists.
Innovation or luxury?
It has to be said: this wheelset doesn't come cheap. DT Swiss is known for quality, and this is reflected in the price tag. Of course, whether it is an indispensable investment depends on how often you find yourself in situations where you need a dynamo. However, for those who regularly ride in the dark or like to venture far from civilisation, it could be a gamechanger.
With this wheelset, DT Swiss takes a step towards the future of adventure cycling. No more worrying about lights in the dark or charging your gadgets on the road. It is a smart solution that further explores the boundary between convenience and performance.
