DT Swiss EX 1501 29" MTB Wheel

The most winning wheels in Enduro, no wheelset has more top level wins on the professional circuit than the EX 1501

EX (Enduro Cross) version uses a 25 mm internal, 30 mm external width rim, giving loads of support to fat Enduro rubber and supreme stiffness under heavy steering and braking

With an average weight of 1650 grams in 26 inch, 1720 grams in 27.5 inch and 1810 grams in 29 inch the EX 1501's combine the strength required for a gravity focussed wheelset with a weight that shouldn't slow you down on uphill transfers

Two piece forged hub shell has two key advantages: firstly it allows the hub shell to be internally CNC'd to a far great extent than a one piece hub, reducing weight whilst leaving material precisely where it is needed, secondly it allows DT to isolate the forces generated by spoke tension from the bearing seat, giving smoother rolling and improved bearing life

The Competition butted spokes attach to the rim via DT's patented PHR system, which uses a convex pivoting nipple and shaped washer in place of a traditional eyelet, this allows the nipple to pivot for perfect alignment with the spoke, removing one of the key stress risers and sources of flex in traditional wheels

Combined with straight pull hubs designed from the ground up to mesh perfectly with the PHR system and you have wheels with the best stiffness and strength to weight ratio possible

Whilst the SPLINE One's hub shells are unique, the internals are taken from DT's legendary 240 hubs so you know you're assured excellent durability, low weight, wide axle and freehub intercompatibility and easy, tool-free servicing

For faster engagement in technical situations the 1501s come with a 36 tooth freehub ratchet upgrade as standard, ideal for tricky climbs or grabbing a quick pedal stroke on timed descents

When bought as a pair they will include RWS Skewers, tubeless rim tape and tubeless valves

Maximum recommended system weight: 110 KG
