Description

DT Swiss's XM 1550 Tricon wheels combine all-mountain strength with cross-country lightness. You'll cruise up the climbs and pound down them with the light and rugged 25.8mm-wide aluminum rims, while the wide stance provides increased tire volume for extra traction. DT's 1550 rims are fully sealed to make running tubeless a breeze, too. You'll also love DT's precision engineered and machined hubs with their Ratchet drive system for top performance, and their straight-pull spokes for incredibly stiff and strong wheels ready for anything you are.

Tricon wheel technology

DT Swiss's Tricon wheels are built with their advanced materials, high-tech engineering and amazing manufacturing techniques for some of the strongest, lightest and best-riding wheels available.

DT's Tricon Two-Piece Hub design keeps the bearing seats free of tension. This allows the wheels to spin as smoothly as possible.	DT's Straight Double-Threaded Spokes thread into the hub and rim for a strong, play-free connection and minimal stress for excellent spoke durability.	DT's Open Crow's-Foot Spoke Pattern uses a combination of radial and crossed spokes for higher tension and maximum power transmission.

DT's Pro Lock Torx Nipples increase the surface that the spoke wrench grips so the wheel can be trued with less risk of ever damaging a spoke nipple.	DT's Tricon Rim Inserts maximize the support for the nipples, which allows lightening the rims and making them air tight for tubeless-tire compatibility, too.	DT's Concave Rim Profiles counteract the expansion force of tire pressure and spoke pull and maximize the strength of the wheels.

DT Swiss Ratchet System

DT Swiss Rachet System.

The DT Swiss Ratchet System uses two interlocking ratchets and two springs to provide up to 36 points of simultaneous engagement. The result: a solid, durable system that will engage the drive of your rear wheel at up to 10-degrees of movement. Step on the pedals and feel your power push forward. And, this simple system is easily serviced, too.

DT Swiss through bolts

DT Swiss Through Bolt.

DT Swiss through bolts feature a hollow aluminum axle for a stiffer and stronger connection to the frame and a super-responsive ride you'll love!

Tricon tubeless technology

DT Swiss Tubeless Rims.

Tubeless-specific DT Swiss rims make going tubeless incredibly simple. They use specially designed bead hooks to form a secure seal with your tubless tires. A solid rim bed makes the rim absolutely air-tight without the weight and bulk of additional rim tape or liners. And, you can run them without tubeless sealant for even more weight savings.
