Description
- The DT Spline 1 has long set the standard for premium alloy MTB wheels; their renowned mix of ride quality; reliability and exceptional strength to weight ratios have made them starting line favourites and test winners all around the world.. so what next?
- Following extensive lab-based and real world testing DT's engineering team in Biel decided that there was really only one place to go ... carbon!
So the 3rd generation Spline 1 now sports a brand new bespoke 30 mm wide carbon rim design to push DT's signature wheel system to ever greater heights and even lower weights - A true all-rounder; the XMC family has a heritage that includes everything from Olympic gold medals to downhill speed record attempts; the XMC 1501's are designed to be the perfect lightweight; sturdy companions for big days out in all terrains
- At the very centre of this system are the new Ratchet EXP 240 hubs the simplest; most reliable and lightest 240 hubs DT have ever made proving that DT remain the undisputed masters of ratchet technology
- Ratchet EXP reduces the number of moving parts inside the hub and allows a wider bearing spacing; improving overall stiffness whilst improving bearing life and reducing drag; the hub still retains DT's easy tool-free servicing and ability to be worked on trailside if required
- Further weight is saved by the new Swiss-made Comp Race spokes that are butted down to 1.6 mm; making them not only lighter; but give a more forgiving and damped ride; offsetting the added stiffness the move to a carbon rim often brings; just another benefit of designing and manufacturing the entire wheel system in house
- When bought as a pair the wheels will come with both Shimano MICRO SPLINE and SRAM XD freehubs; 6-bolt adaptors; tubeless tape and premium lightweight tubeless valves
- Maximum recommended system weight: 120 KG
- Weight: 27.5 inch; Front: 728 grams Rear: 817 grams 29 inch; Front: 775 grams Rear: 864 grams
