The wheelset designed for gravel use consists of the durable DT Swiss G540 aluminum rims, a smooth-running Shimano HB-RS470 front hub and the Shimano FH-RS470 rear hub with HG-EV freehub body.

DT Swiss G 540 db rim

With its sleeve joint design, the DT Swiss G540 Gravel rim made of aluminum performs well on unpaved forest roads as well as on gravel, without being knocked off course by roots or other small obstacles. The robust and tubeless-compatible all-round rim is suitable for a wide range of applications and offers outstanding riding comfort thanks to its inner width of 24 mm, which allows the mounting of up to 53 mm wide studded tires.

Shimano FH-RS470 rear hub

• Material: Aluminum (housing), steel (axle, freehub body)
• Brake rotor mount: Centerlock
• Freehub body: Shimano HG-EV
• Bearing: Tapered roller bearing (cup & cone; polished, CBN-coated)
• Seal: Contact seals
• Flange distance: 55.7 mm

• Flange diameter: 52.8 / 53.8 mm (left / right)

The FH-RS470 rear hub is on a par with the Shimano GRX series and is therefore also ideal for gravel use. The aluminum hub combines an attractive, clean appearance with convincing performance and smooth running, which it owes to high-quality cone bearings, sealing sleeves and an internal grease jacket.
