The XRC 1500 Carbon Rear Wheel is a light, fast cross-country wheel built around the brand's PURE carbon rim. It's made for riders who race, or simply ride their local loops flat out, and want a wheel that turns pedal power into speed straight away without giving up toughness on rocky, rooty trails.

The asymmetric hookless rim has a 30mm internal width, 36mm outer width and a shallow 20mm depth, with a reinforced rim horn to stand up to hard hits. That wider bed gives modern XC and downcountry tyres a well-supported shape at lower pressures, for more grip and control. It's laced with 24 DT complite t-head spokes to a 240 SPLINE hub on a 12 x 148mm Boost axle, with Ratchet EXP 54 internals for quick 54-point engagement. It comes with both SRAM XD and Shimano Micro Spline freehub bodies, so it suits either 12-speed drivetrain, and arrives taped and ready to set up tubeless.
