1. Shimano WH-R501
The WH-R501 is the perfect entry-level wheelset in proven Shimano quality. It features a stable aluminum rim with a 24 mm profile, 20 stainless steel spokes at the front, and 24 at the rear, with both the rim and spokes in black. The wear indicator allows for timely replacement of the rim. Shimano also exclusively uses angular contact bearings in the WH-R501 wheels, which can withstand lateral forces. The asymmetric rim increases the load capacity of the rear wheel. The asymmetry of the rear rim allows for a less steep angle of the drive-side spokes and a more uniform tension across the spokes, significantly enhancing the stability of the wheel.

4. DT Swiss H 1900 Spline
H 1900 SPLINE® - A reliable aluminum wheelset, now featuring Ratchet LN technology for extensive eMTB tours. When motor assistance meets human muscle power, the number of terrains a bike can conquer inevitably increases. The H 1900 SPLINE is designed precisely for this purpose and is now equipped with the proven DT Swiss Ratchet technology. The Ratchet LN system distributes the combined power of the rider and motor over a larger range than the previous pawl freehub system, thereby increasing the robustness of the system through lower peak loads. The 370 hub, combined with reinforced hybrid spokes and a durable aluminum rim available in two widths, enables complete power transfer to the ground.

9. DT Swiss M 1900 Spline
The M 1900 SPLINE wheels were developed to meet the demands of the new All Mountain bikes. The high-quality, machined hubs of the M 1900 SPLINE incorporate all of DT Swiss's hub expertise. Forces to and from the hubs are transmitted via proven straight pull spokes. The lightweight and stable rims with widths of 25, 30, or 35 mm provide the best tire support for your preferred tire width and can withstand everything that a tubeless setup and modern MTB tires can throw at them: climbing mountains quickly and descending just as fast.
In the Pro Lock process, a patented two-component adhesive is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for the construction of extremely durable wheels. Once the nipples are screwed in, the adhesive is activated, curing completely at room temperature in about 6 - 7 hours. Re-centering is easily possible multiple times, although the adhesive strength slightly decreases with each re-centering.
