Description
DKBIKE Feather - The wheelset for those who want a super lightweight wheelset for mountains, racing, or simply having the best of the best. For example, our DKBIKE Feather in 40mm profile with Ratchet hubs weighs only 1,314 grams - market-leading wheelset at that price.
Our Feather wheelset has a large internal width that allows you to ride with tire sizes between 25-42mm. This means you can use the wheels both when riding on the road, in the mountains, as well as with gravel tires up to 42mm wide. In other words, it is a very versatile wheelset you can use for the vast majority of purposes.
You can choose from the following options:
- Rim profile - i.e. the height of the rim - Our DKBIKE Feather is available in 40mm, 45mm, 50mm, and 65mm profiles respectively. Read more about choosing the profile here
- Hubs - here you can choose between 2 DKBIKE hubs: Hubs with ceramic bearings as well as Ratchet hubs, and 2 DT Swiss hubs
- If you ride with SRAM 12-speed you just need to write that you want the wheelset with a 12-speed freehub body in the comment box when ordering - then we will build it so you can ride with your 12-speed groupset
- You can choose the wheels with either a Black DKBIKE logo (Standard), White logo, or in "Stealth look", i.e., without the DKBIKE logo. If you want a White logo or no logo, you just need to note it in the comment box when ordering
- Standard finish is matte look - with ceramic bearings and the Ratchet hub.
How do these wheels differ from the other DKBIKE wheelsets?
DKBIKE Feather stands out by having a significantly lower weight and being both laterally and vertically stiffer; notably without negatively affecting the characteristics of the wheels. With these wheels you get a perfect mountain wheel, racing wheel, or simply wheels for those who want one of the lightest you can get. How can this be achieved?
- A special technology is used in the manufacturing process - it takes longer but in return causes the wheels to achieve a range of advantages
- A different combination of carbon fibers is used with a completely special combination of T800 and T1000 carbon fibers
- The effect is that the lateral stiffness is improved by 22% compared to our normal wheels, as well as 10% improved vertical stiffness
- The choice of material and the combination - combined with the use of lightweight alloys - allows us to achieve the very low weight of the wheels
See also the test of our DKBIKE carbon wheelset for disc brakes conducted by Velomore. A great result where especially the performance is praised to the skies, including how well they roll and how stiff the rims are (= maximum power transfer). You can read the test here.
The perfect mountain wheels
These wheels are suitable as mountain wheels, racing wheels, or for those who want a super lightweight setup on your bike. You can read much more about our DKBIKE Road Feather wheelset here.
The wheels are suitable for all kinds of conditions - regardless of whether it is routes in Denmark or mountain races abroad. They are perfect wheels for e.g. La Marmotte, Les Trois Ballon, Gran Fondo, Alpen Challenge, Maratona dles Dolomites, Coast to Coast, or any bicycle race. If you ride a lot in the mountains in Mallorca, mountains in France, mountains in Italy, mountains in Spain, or in other mountainous or hilly areas, you should consider our DKBIKE Feather wheels: They are the perfect mountain wheels - lightweight carbon wheels.
We recommend:
- DKBIKE Feather with ceramic bearings: The best rolling wheelset where you get unsurpassed performance. The most common profile is 50mm - followed by 40mm
- DKBIKE Feather with Ratchet hubs: Our most durable hubs that also roll fantastically. The most common profile is 50mm - followed by 40mm
Weight of the wheelset
See the table further down the page with additional specifications of the wheels - including recommended tire widths.
DKBIKE has had several of our wheels tested - with excellent grades and reviews to boot. Feltet.dk, Velomore, and Altomcykling have tested our wheels. All our wheels are built to be stiff, durable, and able to handle most terrains. For the same reason, our road wheels can also handle gravel riding - a testament to how exceptionally strong and durable our wheels are.
If you want them with DT Swiss hubs or in the shiny look, we build the wheels to order. Therefore, there is a delivery time of approx. 6 weeks. We hurry as much as we can - fortunately, good things are worth waiting for.

Everything you should know about DKBIKE Feather
Profile and tire width
The choice of rim height and hub depends on what you will use the wheels for, i.e. what terrain they should be used in, type of rider, etc.
If you primarily drive in Denmark, we would however recommend that you go for profiles between 40-65mm rim height with DKBIKE hubs with ceramic bearings or ratchet hubs.
With that wheel set, you achieve good aerodynamics without being overly sensitive to wind (mainly crosswinds/headwinds).
Our DKBIKE Feather has an incredibly nice "clean" aesthetic expression and will adorn any bike - including your bike. 28mm external width which means you can drive with tires between 25-42mm wide and not least DKBIKE hub which quite simply rolls completely and utterly fantastic.
Here you get an unrivaled Price/Value ratio.
A lightweight carbon wheelset with our hub with ceramic bearings or Ratchet hub in this super aerodynamic design for Kr. NOK 8,995 or our Ratchet with Ceramic bearings, the best of both worlds from NOK 9,995 is quite simply spectacular and unique -
and you can be sure that you have a wheel set that stands out from the crowd
Feather highlights
- Ultra lightweight wheelset - Perfect for those who drive License races, in mountains or simply want a super lightweight setup
- Laterally as well as vertically exceptionally stiff
- If you want to drive with a lower profile on the front wheel and a higher profile on the rear wheel, you also have the option. You just have to state this in your order. An example could be a 40mm profile on the front wheel and 50mm on the rear wheel
- Fits Shimano 10-12 speed and Sram 10-11 speed as standard. If you ride with SRAM 12 speed, we can also handle it - you just have to write it in the comments field when you order
- Spokes: Lightweight aerodynamic spokes
- The wheels are for standard dimensions Thru axle: Front = 12*100mm - Rear = 12*142mm
- The wheels are standard for Centerlock
- Max. rider weight (system weight): 130kg
- Lightweight wheel set (see table for weight)
- Our wheels are both for Clincher (Tyre/Tube) and Tubeless. That is you have the opportunity to try out the solution that suits you best
Included in the box: Rim tape and extra spokes.
Ceramic bearings or Ratchet hub
The difference lies i.a. in the number of contact points between the cassette housing and the hub itself.
In the Ratchet hub there are 36 contact points, while there are 6 pawls in the hub with ceramic bearings and easy to clean.
This means that the Ratchet hub is more durable and is really easy to clean and generally maintain.
If you are mostly looking for a high-performance hub, ceramic bearings are slightly easier to roll.
For Feather wheelsets, we recommend the Ratchet hub with ceramic bearings, as it rolls like the hub with ceramic bearings, is lighter and has a "plus" in wear resistance and maintenance, the best of both worlds.
The durability and wear resistance of Ratchet and the fantastic rolling ability of Ceramic bearings.
However, all hubs are completely fantastic - and regardless of your choice, will give you many fantastic trips

How is the quality - Read the tests here
900 day guarantee - We are proud and happy about our high quality
At DKBIKE, quality is crucial for us - we only sell carbon wheelsets of the highest quality and, of course, a quality we stand for 100%. We only use the very best carbon available on the market - Japanese Toray carbon.
Within the industry, these carbon fibers are known as the absolute best and strongest, which is the reason why we also only use these.
Our own DKBIKE hubs are also of the highest quality. The hubs are crucial for low rolling resistance and stability, which has also meant that we have selected our best hub for you to choose from:
Hub with standard bearings, hub with ceramic bearings as well as our Ratchet hub and for our Feather wheelset, Ratchet with ceramic bearings.
All hubs are of the highest quality and roll great. The hub with ceramic bearings has the same durability as the hub with standard bearings, while the Ratchet hub is slightly more durable.
Ratchet with ceramic bearings gives you the best of both worlds.
You will find the big difference in the rolling resistance, which is lower in the hub with ceramic bearings.
With a price from Kr. NOK 7,995 for a DKBIKE Roadcarbon wheelset with ceramic bearings or Ratchet hub, it is our clear recommendation - it is quite simply the market leader.
