EXC 1500 Classic 27.5" Rear Wheel - XD/Micro Spline, DEG 90 DF

DT Swiss EXC 1500 Classic 27.5" Rear Wheel - XD/Micro Spline, DEG 90 DF is a purpose-built enduro rear wheel designed around rapid engagement, precise tracking, and carbon-rim impact resilience for aggressive trail and race riding.

The Pure carbon rim construction is engineered to reduce rotational mass for quicker acceleration and easier direction changes, while using continuous carbon layers to reinforce the rim for high impact resistance. Laced with DT Complite spokes—made via a dedicated blading process for durability—this wheel targets long-term stability under hard cornering loads and repeated hits. At the center, the DT Swiss 240 Classic hub pairs reliability with a Ratchet DEG DF system featuring a 90-point high-engagement driver and a tunable anti-pedal kickback design to help maintain pedal efficiency through rough, fast terrain.
