DT Swiss XRC 1501 Boost Carbon Wheelset – 29″ MS

Tailored to the needs of performance orientated cross country riders, the XRC 1501 SPLINE ONE leaves nothing to be desired. The light 30 mm wide carbon rims offer ideal support for modern XC tyres. Rolling on race proven and super durable 240 hubs with Ratchet EXP freehub system every bit of your energy is transferred into forward motion via equally racy double butted spokes and a perfect wheel build.

The lightest and fastest accelerating; the XRC 1501 is designed as the perfect companion for the latest high-volume 2.4 inch XC race tyres as already raced to multiple victories by Nino Schurter, Kate Courtney and Mathias Flückiger

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
