Miche Syntium DX wheelset review

The Syntium DX gives you a quality build in an all-round disc brake wheelset

Cycling Weekly Verdict

The Miche Syntium DX is a well-built disc brake wheelset with classic straight pull spoking and shallow alloy rims. It adapts easily to all hub standards and provides a quality ride. But the narrow rims and lack of tubeless compatibility mean that it misses out on more modern features.

Miche is the classic small Italian manufacturing company. Still in the same factory north of Venice that it has occupied for 99 years, it makes over 10,000 different bicycle components with a wide range of wheelsets, including the disc brake Miche Syntium DX.

The rims on the Miche Syntium DX wheels are alloy, with a 24mm depth. They are asymmetric for a more even spoke tension between the two sides. Their inner width is 15mm. That’s quite narrow by modern standards, although the support for 25mm tyres is fine. They’re not tubeless ready, although other Miche wheelsets are.
