DT Swiss - New 1500 Series Wheels

DT SWISS - NEW 1500 SERIES WHEELS 

Form follows the flow

Feel the liveliness with our new 1500 series.

Changing roots into kickers, trail slopes into surf spots and your own shadow into first chaser. Behind the twists and turns, the daring moves and wild rides, there is a hidden force – the flow. The 1500 is for riders with precision and a hint of madness in their style. The new wheels have less weight and more dynamism, bringing a liveliness to your riding. Wherever you dare to go, the wheels are prepared to take you there, without faltering.

PURE carbon rim technology reduces rotational mass and boosts the wheels lightness for faster acceleration and improved airtime. The patented carbon construction ensures high impact resistance, even on hard landings, so you won't break a sweat.

Built with the strongest spokes in each category, adding to the sharp but lively feel of the wheels. The 240 hub provides additional reliability, adapted for the area of application of each wheel. Mount the 1500 wheels, elevate your ride, and let the form follow your flow!

REFINEMENTS:
Designed not merely to meet expectations but to ignite true excitement, the 1500 line captures the most current demands from the global MTB community. Upgrading the EXC 1500 CLASSIC to ASTM 5 sharpens and simplifies our wheel category structure.

RIM:
Aligning modern mountain bike requirements with the latest technology standards makes one thing clear: asymmetric rims, a 30 mm inner width, and front-/rear-specific layering designs are essential for each wheel of our 1500 series.

SPOKES:
With an ingenious shape from a unique blading process, which also densifies the material, it is the most durable DT Swiss spoke in its weight category. With the exception of the HXC 1500 SPLINE, which benefits from eMTB-specific spokes, every wheel in the 1500 series is equipped with our proven DT complite spokes.

DEGREES OF FREEDOM:
For the first time, our state-of-the-art DF Technology is fully integrated into the wheelset (excluding the XRC wheels). It’s the straightforward solution to every pedalkickback question. And the best part? It’s tool-free to adjust, low maintenance, and adds zero extra weight. Just a radically simplified anti-pedalkickback system.

PURE CARBON TECHNOLOGY:
A pioneering rim manufacturing process and full layer-by-layer inspection deliver lightweight rims built for lasting performance. And of course, the new wheels go further than their precursor, using continuous carbon layers that reinforce the rim horns for maximum impact resistance.
