Syncros Capital 1.0s Carbon Tubeless Ready Disc Brake Bicycle Wheelset

The Syncros Capital 1.0s 40mm carbon wheelset is a road and gravel wheelset built for riders who want the Capital SL’s rim performance at a lower price. It shares the same aero-optimized carbon fiber rim as the Capital SL — a 40mm-deep, 25mm internal width, hookless profile — but pairs it with a DT Swiss 240s hubset front and rear instead of the SL’s build, bringing the price down while keeping the rim technology that does most of the aerodynamic and ride-quality work.

At 620g front and 715g rear, it is a light wheelset for the category, and its hookless, tubeless-ready design is built to run road and gravel tires without tubes. DT Swiss Aerolite Straightpull spokes and DT Swiss Pro Lock nipples complete the build, and a 60mm tubeless valve is included for setup.

Who It’s For

•        Road and gravel riders who want a lighter carbon wheelset without the Capital SL’s price tag

•        Riders planning a tubeless setup who want a wide, 25mm internal rim built for it

•        Cyclists comfortable running hookless rims paired with hookless-rated tubeless tires

•        Riders chasing the lowest possible weight in the Capital line should look at the Capital SL instead; those committed to hooked-rim, tube-type tires should confirm compatibility first

What to Look For

•        Confirm your tires are hookless-compatible: hookless rims require tubeless tires certified for hookless use and carry lower max pressure limits than hooked rims

•        Check freehub compatibility: the rear hub is a DT Swiss EXP 240s with an XDR freehub body, which fits SRAM and XDR-compatible cassettes

•        Match axle and mount standards to your frame: 100mm front and 142mm rear thru-axle spacing, with Center Lock rotor mounts front and rear

Key Features

Rim: The rim is a carbon fiber, hookless, 40mm-deep profile with a 25mm internal width, aero-optimized and shared with the higher-tier Capital SL. The wider internal width supports higher-volume road and gravel tires at lower pressures, and the hookless bead simplifies tubeless setup.

Hubs: Front and rear hubs are DT Swiss — a 240s hub up front (100mm thru-axle, 24h, Center Lock) and an EXP 240s hub in back (142mm thru-axle, 24h, Center Lock, XDR freehub). This is a disc-brake-only wheelset, with Center Lock rotor mounts on both wheels.

Tire compatibility: The rim is tubeless ready and ships with a 60mm tubeless valve for setup. The 25mm internal width and hookless bead are built for road and gravel tubeless tires; check your tire manufacturer’s hookless rim rating before mounting.

Spokes and nipples: DT Swiss Aerolite Straightpull spokes, laced with DT Swiss Pro Lock nipples, connect rim to hub.

Rider Intent Summary

•        Biggest strengths: 620g front / 715g rear weight, a hookless tubeless-ready carbon rim, and DT Swiss 240s/EXP 240s hubs

•        Tradeoffs: hookless rim design limits tire choice to hookless-rated tubeless tires with lower max pressures than hooked rims

•        What makes it different: shares its rim with the Capital SL but reaches a lower price through its hub selection

Victory’s Take

We recommend the Capital 1.0s to road and gravel riders at Victory Bicycle Studio who want the Capital SL’s rim performance without the SL’s price. It is a straightforward pick once you are already sold on hookless, tubeless-ready carbon and want DT Swiss hubs underneath it.
