5 further fields the checker looks for are not published by DT Swiss, so we leave them blank rather than estimate them, and those 5 checks stay silent on this rear wheel. They are minimum tire, maximum tire mm, maximum tire basis, tire range kind and maximum system weight. Each is recorded as “not stated by the maker (not checked)”.

Checked against

The checker ran this model against every verified part below that it has a slot for, the same way it checks a build in the builder. What follows is the verdict it actually produced for that specific pairing — not a recommendation, and not a guarantee any of these parts fits your own bike.

6 of 1753 counterparts with a page of their own that the checker actually probed this model against, in alphabetical order by brand and model — never by price, popularity or the verdict itself.
