DT Swiss XRC 1501 wheel 30 mm rim BOOST axle 29 inch front

Experience the next level of cycling excellence with the DT Swiss XRC 1501 wheel. Built with precision and an emphasis on performance, this wheel is a game-changer for any bike enthusiast. It boasts a cutting-edge 30mm wide carbon rim design that elevates the wheel's speed, stability, and weight optimisation. This carbon innovation, crafted by DT's team of experts in Biel, is what sets DT Swiss apart from competitors.

The XRC 1501 is the lightest and fastest accelerating wheel in the Spline 1 range. It's specifically designed to complement high-volume 2.4 inch XC race tyres, earning accolades from some of cycling's biggest names such as Nino Schurter, Kate Courtney and Mathias Flückiger.

Centrally, the wheel features the new Ratchet EXP 240 hub. It's the simplest, most reliable and lightest 240 hub to date, reflecting DT Swiss's mastery over ratchet technology. This new design reduces the number of moving components, enhancing overall stiffness while extending bearing life and minimising drag. Additionally, it offers easy tool-free servicing, making trailside work a seamless process.

This front wheel is uniquely fitted with Swiss-made Comp Race spokes. They’re butted down to 1.6 mm; not only making them lighter, but also offering a more forgiving and damped ride. This offsets any added stiffness that often accompanies the transition to a carbon rim, proving the benefits of designing and manufacturing the entire wheel system in-house.

When bought as a pair, wheels come with Shimano MICRO SPLINE and SRAM XD freehubs, 6-bolt adaptors, tubeless tape, and premium lightweight tubeless valves. With a 110 KG maximum recommended system weight, these wheels are remarkably resilient.

Weights are as follows: Front wheel - 728 grams. This DT Swiss innovation offers unparalleled speed and longevity, redefining expectations of bike performance.
