Stan’s S1 wheelset line brings patented tubeless technology to an even wider range of riders. Built for long life, low maintenance, and outstanding value, the S1 series wheels feature 6061 series alloy rims and are available in six different widths suited to a wide range of tire sizes and riding styles. With an emphasis on value and durability, the S1 alloy wheelsets join a mountain wheel line-up that currently includes Stan’s successful MK3 premium alloy wheels and innovative Valor and Bravo carbon series wheelsets. While MK3 wheelsets are built to balance strength, light weight, and stiffness, S1 wheelsets focus on maximum strength and durability. The deeper profile and thicker walls of the S1 rims result in a 50-70g weight increase over MK3 rims, but offer greater impact strength for an even wider range of use. “The new S1 series wheels were developed from rims ridden in Redbull Rampage and raced on the World Cup DH circuit for years,” said Creative Director, Chris Currie. “The goal was to take everything we’ve done for tubeless technology, and put it into a truly bombproof and affordable wheel.” Designed according to Stan’s WideRight rim and tire fit system, S1 series wheelsets are available in six different rim models, with internal widths ranging from 23mm to 38mm. Combined with Stan’s low-profile, high-volume Bead Socket Technology rim design, these widths let the new S1 range accommodate tires from 2-inch to 3.5-inch. All S1 wheelsets are built with 32 spokes front and rear, Sapim’s proven Race spokes, Secure Lock brass nipples, and Stan’s faster-engaging Neo hubs. Hubs are available to fit most axle systems, including Boost. The S1 series includes reinforced versions of the classic Crest, Arch, and Flow--names already familiar to fans of Stan’s tubeless rims. In addition to the Crest S1, Arch S1, and Flow S1, three entirely new wider wheelsets will be available. The Sentry S1, Baron S1, and Major S1 bring Stan’s patented Bead Socket Technology to Plus bikes. Crest S1 Wheelset - Use: Aggressive Cross Country and Trail - Internal Rim Width: 23mm - Optimal Tire Size: 2.0 to 2.25-inch - Hubs: Stan’s Neo 32-hole Front, 32-hole Rear - Spokes/Nipples: Sapim Race Black 2.0/1.8/2.0mm, Secure Lock - Brass Silver Nipples - Wheel Sizes and Weights: 26-inch (1,649g ), 27.5-inch (1,731g), and 29-inch (1,813g)

Designed for today's wider tires, the Sentry MK3's patented low-profile sidewall and lightweight 6069 alloy construction delivers width without the weight. Stan's patented BST rim design allows a tire to expand to its full volume without distorting its shape, and the 32mm internal width of the Sentry MK3 is more stable with 2.50"-3.00" tires. The result is less rolling resistance, more traction, and incredible handling. The Sentry MK3 wheels are a great upgrade for anyone looking for the traction and control needed to take on even the most difficult trails. Stan's updated Neo hub includes a stronger axle and reliable Durasync six pawl freehubs. The Sentry MK3 proves wider can mean faster.

Learning from our very successful EWS riders, we designed the rims for the EXC 1200 SPLINE 35 to be tough enough for everything the best in the sport can throw at them yet light enough to spin all day. And, they're the right width to accommodate today's high-volume enduro tires. This rim is complemented by our completely new top-end Ratchet System hubs which maintain the lightweight theme, as do the bladed and butted straight-pull spokes. The result is any enduro rider's dream wheel: Peace-of-mind in the downhills and enough breath for a chat on the climbs.

With even the EWS race courses getting tougher and tougher and tire manufacturers offering Enduro-strong tires in 2.5-inch sizes, the demand from DT's pros for a wide, Enduro tough wheelset came up and DT responded by developing the EX 1501 SPLINE ONE 30. Often used as a front wheel to generate as much grip where you need it most, it is the wheel for those hunting after the toughest of tracks or those living right in the Alps. Strong, lightweight, and tough as nails, the EX 1501 30 is ready for just about anything.

The Enduro incarnation of the SPLINE ONE line-up. Based on a rim that has survived top to bottom runs without a tire under world class riders such as Aaron Gwin, the EX 1501 SPLINE ONE 25 has nothing to prove when it comes to strength. For Enduro racers it comes in handy that it features tech details like the specially developed rim surface hardening process for increased durability at no additional weight.

At a 30mm internal rim width, the H 1900 SPLINE 30 is what's considered the new All Mountain standard. And All Mountain it is: Without carrying too much of a weight penalty and rolling well on virtually any surface, it owns the mountain. At low pressures made possible by the wide rim and the resulting large tire volume, it finds grip where others fail, whether on loose ball-bearing climbs or root-infested off-camber gravity sections. We at DT Swiss have equipped the H 1900 SPLINE 30 to own the mountain for many years. Technologies like the patented Pro Lock mechanical nipple thread lock and meticulous wheel building technique (each signed by our pro builders) make it possible.

Nowadays, bikers ride what used to be called downhill trails on enduro bikes. The trails are getting rougher, and the demands on the gear and rider are greater.

With its stiff aluminum rim, lightweight straight-pull spokes, and proven DT Swiss hubs, this wheel is well-prepared for any challenge. The balance of weight and stiffness will put a smile on your face whether you're riding uphill or downhill. After all, most of the best trails don't offer lift service.

Plus size tires are a dilemma: All of a sudden you find yourself riding sections where you previously dismounted, and you're doing so at a good pace. That's a lot of fun. On the other side it makes it pretty tough on your bike and especially the wheels. With the HX 1501 SPLINE ONE 35 DT have succeeded to deliver alloy wheels able to bridge the gap. Created with all of DT Swiss' know how and passion, it is light and reliable but loves to smash into the rough like no other.
