Steve’s DT Swiss 240s / ZTR Race 1280g wheels
I love building these ZTR Race rims…there is something seriously cool about a rim with no warranty, special building instructions, a list of ‘incompatable’ hubs, and a rider weight limit :-D
290 gram alloy rims are amazing – this is lighter than most of the current carbon mountain bike rims and the lateral stiffness and durability of these rims is amazingly good.
This particular pair is laced to limited edition white DT Swiss 240s hubs with DT Swiss Aerolite spokes. Wheelset weight is an amazing 1280 grams.
The front wheel is fitted with a 160mm Shimano XTR rotor and the rear uses a 140mm model to save a few more grams.
