The FR 1500 Classic Silver DEG DF LTD wheelset uses FR541 aluminum rims designed for gravity riding with extra impact resistance and built-in pinch-flat protection. The rims are tubeless-ready and measure 30mm internal, 35mm external, and 21mm deep, with a claimed weight of 605g per 29-inch rim. The wheels are built with 240 Classic DEG DF 6-bolt disc brake hubs that provide fast 90T/4° Ratchet DEG engagement. The hubs include a user-adjustable DF anti-kickback function with settings of 0°, 10°, and 20°. The limited edition is presented in shiny silver rather than common all-black styling, with minimal visible color accents limited to red bearing seals and red DT grease inside the hub.
"There are too many all-black wheels these days - stealthy matte carbon rims, black spokes, black anodized nipples, and hubs painted black everywhere you look. It's all so boring. A few brands are fighting back. And now it's nice to see DT Swiss spicing things up a bit with this all-silver limited edition aluminum FR 1500 Classic gravity bike wheelset."
"Sure, it looks artsy. And it's true that there's no color to be found on the wheels - outside of some red bearing seals pressed inside the hub or the red DT special grease inside the oversized star ratchet. But what makes a silver wheelset really shine is how it differs from bland black wheels, and how it reflects the colors of everything around it - whether that's the paint job of your bike, or the trees and wildflowers next to the trail."
"There's nothing new on these limited edition wheels, just proven rims, spokes, and hubs laced together to build a bombproof wheelset for whatever type of gravity-infused mountain biking you prefer. super tough FR541 aluminum rims with extra impact resistance & built-in pinch flat protection. 30mm internal x 35mm external x 21mm deep. tubeless-ready. 605g per 29″ rim (claimed)."
"built on 240 Classic DEG DF 6-bolt disc brake hubs. fast 90T / 4° Ratchet DEG engagement. adjustable 0° / 10° / 20° DF. You get all their best tech for enduro, freeride & DH - premium 240 hubs, fast DEG engagement, user-adjustable DF anti-kickback function hidden inside - and now in glorious shiny silver."
