Featuring some industry firsts, new patent-pending manufacturing and plenty of intricate details, the new DT Swiss EXC 1200 Classic wheels are the brand’s new HALO product. Come along while we will dive into the details behind their enduro-focused carbon option, the EXC1200 Classic.
These EXC1200 wheels feature DT Swiss’s Revolite bladed Spokes, a ceramic bearing driven DEG 180 hub with 4 degrees of engagement, and DT’s Out Of The Mold production process for the hoops that minimizes waste and maximizes strength and reliability while keeping weight at just 1725g for a 29” wheelset.
Front and rear wheels get a specific profile aimed at a no compromise strength to weight ratio. The front wheel opts for 28 spokes while the rear is 32 maximizing strength where it counts. Both front and rear specific wheels have an inner width of 30mm. Wheels are offered in both 27.5” and 29” options with both having a 148mm rear and 110mm front hub. Pricing lands at $2,911.80 USD.
The EXC1200 is DT’s Enduro-specific Carbon option aimed at taking on gnarly descents under the world's fastest racers and the weekend warrior looking for a wheelset that will outlast their new frame. The focus with this wheel was to deliver on their brand's ethos of no compromise durability and with that they are ASTM class 5 rated.
To do this DT has a patent pending production process dubbed “Out Of The Mold”. This allows them to pull the wheel straight from the mold without having to remove excess resin resulting in fewer imperfections thanks to uninterrupted fibers. These sections of carbon enclose the entire rim to better solidify the rim horns against heavy impacts. All in all this process provides a wheel free of imperfections straight from the layup. Another benefit of this production process is the reduction of material waste!
DT’s RevoLight spokes play a huge factor in the riding characteristics and durability of this wheelset. These spokes are produced using a flat cold forging method that increases the density of the material.
The double-butted spokes forging method creates a uniform shape that not only increases strength and cuts down on weight but also retains the elongation properties ultimately extending the lifespan of the wheel.
