DT Swiss's Spline wheels use intracately machined hub shells and carefully positioned spokes so you can ride faster and farther. You can count on this combination of craftsmanship and DT Swiss reliability ride after ride. DT's Spline wheels use rims specifically designed for lowe weight and high strength and are tubeless compatible with DT's Tubeless Kit (sold seperately). Spline wheels use straight-pull spokes for a high strength-to-weight ratio. The result of precision engineering and machining; Spline hubs are lightweight and aggressive-looking  The Spline hub shell design and straight-pull spokes allow for an optimized position of the spoke anchor points, creating a stiffer, more responsive wheel. Due to the shape of the spoke anchors, spoke pull has minimum effect on the bearing seats. The result is longer lasting bearings and smoother rolling wheels. Spline hubs use a lacing pattern designed to take advantage of the straight-pull spokes to create the best strength-to-weight ratio.
