DT Swiss EXC 1501 Spline 30 Carbon 29" Boost Tubeless Ready wheelset

Tough enduro carbon rim paired with a durable 240 hub - a package for going fast

The EXC 1501 SPLINE ONE combine everything a modern enduro rider wants in one wheelset. The 30 mm wide carbon rims give you the precision to stay on track even on the trickiest lines while a 240 hub with the latest RATCHET EXP freehub system puts your power down to the ground. Both components are held together by performance weight optimized competition race straightpull spokes.

Technologies

Tubeless
Tubeless ready DT Swiss rims have further advantages over conventional rims. The design of their cross section allows for the tyre to easily pop in place when inflated, and more often than not a standard floor pump is all that‘s needed. Also the elaborate profile of DT Swiss rims ensures a precise and safe fit of the tyre even when ridden hard.

Ratchet Exp

  • Simple maintenance: DT Swiss hubs are also known for the notool technology. DT Swiss also found a way to further improve this system and make maintenance even simpler, by a small change of the endcaps.
  • Freehub body conversion: Simplified due to easier disassembly.
  • Less Weight: Not only the reliability improved. The fusion of ratchet and threaded ring reduces the number of single parts of the system what offers an important advantage.
  • Less Wear: A single cylindrical spring ensures faster full engagement and thus increases reliability
  • Superior Reliability: The full engagement of the ratchets creates a large contact surface and therefore low surface pressure that leads to superior reliability.
  • Increased Bearing Lifetime: The integration of the bearing into the threaded ring allows the bearing distance to be maximized. The increased distance further supports the axis, which results in less deflection of the axle and thus protects the bearings and increases their lifetime.

Engagement Angle
A hotly discussed topic in the market right now - engagement angle! What is the engagement angle, how does this angle affect riding performance and is the conventional wisdom "the more the better" really always better?
The engagement angle is the maximum degree that the freehub body can rotate until the teeth of the freewheel system engage and accelerate the hub. This angle is calculated by dividing 360º by the number of engagement points of the freewheel system.
DT Swiss still believe that a system with 36 points of engagement represents the best optimization within this three dimensional perspective in terms of reliability, weight and points of engagement.

Spline
DT Swiss’s classic straight pull system, a great balance between stiffness, comfort, low weight and easy serviceability, ideal for everyday road or mixed terrain use and uses readily available standard straight-pull spokes.

Prolock
Pro Lock® is a process where a patented, dual compound, adhesive liquid is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for extremely durable wheel builds. By threading the nipple onto the spoke the adhesive is activated and starts to harden. Retruing the wheel is still possible after the adhesive has hardened completely, with only a minimal decrease of its thread-lock function.
