Experience the exceptional performance of the DT Swiss XMC 1501. This 3rd generation wheel is renowned for its superior alloy MTB design, and now boasts a bespoke 30 mm wide carbon rim for enhanced strength and reduced weight. Inspired by a rich heritage that includes Olympic gold medals and downhill speed record attempts, the XMC 1501 has been designed to provide a sturdy, lightweight ride in all terrains.

At the heart of this advanced design are the new Ratchet EXP 240 hubs - the lightest, most reliable, and simplest versions of the 240 hubs. These new hubs mean fewer moving parts and a wider bearing spacing, which not only improves overall stiffness, but also prolongs bearing life and reduces drag. Plus, the hubs retain DT Swiss' hallmark tool-free servicing and on-trail repair capabilities.

Further weight-saving measures include new Swiss-made Comp Race spokes, which have been butted down to 1.6 mm to provide a lighter, more forgiving ride. This ingenious design not only offsets the added stiffness of the move to a carbon rim, but also offers additional damping and overall enhanced ride quality. This is just one of the benefits of creating the entire wheel system in-house.

When bought as a pair, the wheels come with both Shimano MICRO SPLINE and SRAM XD freehubs, 6-bolt adaptors, tubeless tape, and premium lightweight tubeless valves.

With a maximum recommended system weight of 120 KG, you can trust in the durability of the DT Swiss XMC 1501. The weight for the 27.5 inch set is 728 grams for the front and 817 grams for the rear. In contrast, the 29 inch set weighs 775 grams for the front and 864 grams for the rear.
