Description
- Shape new lines; set new times and crush the mountain; the FR 1500 is the new standard for DH racing and Freeride
- Using the World Championship winning FR 541 rim; Swiss-made Competition butted spokes and the most victorious hub in DH: The new FR 1500's come out of the gate with a spec relied upon more than any other in the Pro Pits
- The rim uses a DH-specific profile designed to increase the impact force needed to pinch a tyre by 17% whilst also better resisting dents; DT's custom alloys and innovative PHR technology come straight from the near-legendary EX 511 and EX 471 models to give class-leading strength and stiffness
- Premium 240 EXP hubs are a DH mainstay and hit the sweet spot between light weight; reliability and ease of servicing; 36 tooth ratchets offer rapid engagement without affecting your suspension or necessitating the use of an active spider
- The new lighter rim design and 240 EXP hubs lead to a massively strong wheelset that still comes in at just 1;928 grams significantly lighter than most DH wheels and both lighter and more forgiving than most DH carbon options
- DH is a discipline where broken spokes are an occasional fact of life which is why DT have specced classic J-bend butted Competition spokes that are easy to locate and replace; handy if you're out in Morzine when something gets stuck in them
- Front wheels come in Either 20 or 15 mm BOOST spacing
- Rear wheels come in either DH 157 mm or BOOST 148 mm standards
- Rear wheels come with a SRAM XD freehubs fitted; the 157 mm rear come with an additional Shimano HG freehub in the box for compact DH cassettes; the 148mm BOOST rear wheels come with a MICRO SPLINE freehub instead for 12-speed Shimano use
- When bought as a pair they will include tubeless rim tape and valves
