The DT Swiss XRC 1200s have bought home more XC Olympic medals and rainbow stripes than any other wheelset. Following Florian Vogel's world cup podiums using 30 mm XMC trail wheels and the arrival of lightweight high volume race tyres able to take advantage of ever wider rims DT's engineers have pushed the envelope even further.
The XRC 1200s have a full internal width of 30 mm and a weight per pair of just 1480 grams in Boost 29" the new XRC's are right at the forefront of the new school and ready to tackle rougher and more technical courses. They feature a 100% bespoke hookless rim design with continuous strand lay-up, designed by DT, made by DT and tested to destruction by DT at their test lab in Biel, Switzerland, no open moulds here.
The 180 hubs feature SiNC ceramic bearings and DT's cutting edge, Ratchet EXP system, an evolution of the original twin Hügi ratchet, the ratchet EXP integrates the inner ratchet into the hub, allowing wider bearing spacing, fewer moving parts and more precise alignment. The resulting hubs are even more durable and reliable than DT's classic ratchet 240s but stiffer and significantly lighter with the fast rolling benefits of Ceramic bearings. Plus, ablend of DT's premium straight pull Aero Comp and Aerolite spokes offers an optimum blend of stiffness and low weight
The rear wheels include both Shimano MICRO SPLINE and SRAM XD freewheels for easy conversion. When bought as a pair they will include wheels bags, 6-bolt rotor adaptors, spoke tools, tubeless rim tape and tubeless valves.
