The best for the best. The XRC 1200 SPLINE was developed in collaboration with the world’s top cross-country riders. The hookless and tubeless-ready full-carbon rim is designed for hard and aggressive XC riding. The athletic, intricately machined hubs are super-light, and the tall, laterally stiff rims allow the rider to hold their line with the utmost precision. Even if your vision isn’t quite as sharp right now. Combined with DT Swiss’s high-end wheelbuilding, the XRC 1200 SPLINE is simply the benchmark for speed, whether on the track or off-road.

For anyone looking to keep improving, the XRC 1200 SPLINE wheelset is your ticket to the premier class. Experience improved acceleration and finely tuned agility, and take the lead. State-of-the-art technology for maximum compression of the carbon layers ensures the lightest MTB rims DT Swiss has ever produced. Both wheels are fitted with 24 DT Revolite spokes. With a lighter front rim for greater agility and the rear wheel featuring DT Swiss’s lightest MTB hub, this is the ultimate cross-country wheelset. The XRC 1200 SPLINE sets new standards for your favourite cross-country setup. Now it’s up to you to break records.

DT Swiss 1200 EXP hubs:

The DT Swiss straight-pull hub bodies of the XMC 1200 Spline are based on the super-light DT Swiss EXP 180 hub series with Sinc ceramic ball bearings and are constructed using a minimal amount of material. With the optimised hub body, specially designed for extreme braking forces, and the reinforced flange, the DT Swiss straight-pull hubs provide the perfect foundation for extremely stable cross-country and marathon wheelsets. The ceramic bearings ensure a long, silky-smooth ride, and the Centerlock brake disc mount allows for the installation of any braking system. Adapters for mounting 6-bolt brake discs are included in the scope of delivery.

DT Swiss Ratchet EXP MTB freehub body system:

Ratchet EXP is DT Swiss’s lightest freehub system and is therefore used in DT Swiss products designed for the most demanding applications. The EXP Ratchet freehub body system also operates with two sprockets, with the hub-side sprocket bolted into the hub body. This ensures loss-free power transmission, extreme durability and virtually no play when pedalling. The freehub bodies can be fitted without tools. Freehub bodies are available for the classic 8–11-speed HG cassettes from Shimano and SRAM, for the SRAM XD system with SRAM 11+12-speed XG and 12-speed XS transmission cassettes, and for the 12-speed Shimano Micro Spline cassettes.

DT Swiss XRC 1200 Spline Carbon Rims:

Carbon allows for the production of a 30 mm wide yet very lightweight rim that provides ideal support for modern wide tyres, enables lower tyre pressure and thus reduces rolling resistance on rough surfaces. Thanks to the low moment of inertia of a carbon rim, the DT Spline 1200 wheels offer rapid acceleration and precise handling. With a rim width of 30 mm, they are ideal for use in cross-country and marathon riding with wide tyres. Thanks to their hookless design, the rims are designed for tubeless tyres and offer excellent puncture resistance whilst remaining extremely lightweight. With an internal rim width of 30 mm, tyres ranging from 2.1 to 2.8 inches in width can be fitted. The rim beads of the DT Swiss Spline Carbon rims are ideally designed for tubeless use. DT Swiss has also developed new tubeless kits specifically for this purpose. These are included in the scope of delivery

Hookless Tubeless TSS:

Hookless Tubeless or Tubeless Straight Side (standard abbreviation TSS) describe the rim design. Tubeless-compatible rims can be ridden without an inner tube, but a setup with an inner tube is also possible. Hookless or Straight Side describes the shape of the rim flange, which in this case is straight and designed without the classic hook. This design offers advantages in terms of greater impact resistance for carbon rim flanges and allows tyre pressures of up to 5 bar.

DT Swiss Straight Pull Revolite spokes:

To achieve an ideal balance between weight and stability, only the highest quality straight-pull spokes are used in Spline One wheelsets. They are more stable than conventional spokes yet can still be trued and replaced using standard tools. The straight-pull lacing allows for precise placement and alignment of the spokes. This optimises wheel stiffness and eliminates any unwanted stress peaks.
