Carbon makes it possible to build lighter wheels, which improve riding behavior of specific wheels for various fields of application. By further improving 1501 SPLINE ONE wheels, we are able to reduce the weight by up to 180 g per wheel set compared to the previous generation, while preserving its values.
Carbon enables us to produce a 30 mm wide Cross Country rim which greatly supports modern XC tires, lowering tire pressure and therefore reducing rolling resistance on rough surfaces. The XC is not the only wheel that benefits from the low weight of a carbon rim; our All mountain and Enduro specific wheels profit from the low moment of inertia that a carbon rim offers, granting a snappy acceleration, precise handling and high speeds.
Thanks to the higher inherent stiffness of the carbon rim compared to an aluminium rim, the use of ultra
light DT Competition Race spokes ensures perfect wheel stiffness for precise riding without being too stiff. The spokes use a middle section which is 1.6 mm
thin – allowing further weight savings on the new
1501 SPLINE ONE with no compromise on durability.
Lighter, stiffer, more precise and even easier to maintain – the new 240 EXP hub is a must for 1501 SPLINE ONE wheels. The RATCHET EXP freehub system, which comes with 36 points of engagement transfers the pedalling load directly to the trail and is more durable than ever.
