DT Swiss HXC 1501 27.5" Boost Rear Wheel 35mm Rim Micro Spline Freehub

With weights as low as 1,800 grams for a durable E-Bike wheelset intended for long term use on full-power rigs, the HXC 1501 is the flagship Hybrid wheelset from the number 1 name in E-MTB wheels

E-MTB’s are tough on wheels, really tough, not only is there the added weight and higher maximum drive torque but E-MTB riders tend to ride further and more frequently, this adds up to a real challenge for anyone looking to design a truly durable wheel for long term E-MTB use

The result is DT’s mission Hybrid, the first wheel engineering project to look specifically at the challenges of heavy duty E-MTB use for wheels

So, what’s changed? the short answer… Everything!

New for the HXC 1501s, the rear hub now features DT’s new E-MTB-specific Ratchet EXP oversized, with an enlarged mechanism allowing us to go up to a super-durable, 30 tooth mechanism that will go the distance

The rims have reinforced spoke beds to resist fatigue and handle high loads for long periods of time

The straight pull spokes are custom made for Hybrid with an oversized 2.35 mm hub interface designed to protect one of the key points of stress on any wheel

In order for a wheel to pass as Hybrid certified in DT’s inhouse testing lab it has to survive 50% more lifecycles, its spokes and rims have to endure 20% higher load tests and the bearings must be able to handle almost twice the maximum load of a standard wheel

Whilst intended for E-MTB use, the Hybrid range is also ideal for larger riders, bike packers or anyone looking for a really durable wheelset with a high weight limit

The HXC carbon rims feature a tough, hookless design with a 30 or 35 mm internal width to support modern high volume trail rubber

System weight limit: 140KG, Come with DT tubeless rim tape and valves included
