roots without fear. The EXC 1200 CLASSIC supports your most daring line
choices, with still plenty of reserve if they don’t go to plan. Our

quality control ensures minimized imperfections straight out of the

The current DT Swiss wheels are tubeless-ready and come with mounted tubeless rim tape and corresponding valves. For conversion, you will need a tubeless-capable tire (optimal: UST) and tire sealant. You can find both at an official dealer. Our How To video will take you through step-by-step assembly.
If you have previously ridden your bike with a tube or if the tape no longer sticks properly to the rim, we recommend that you replace the rim tape as a precaution.
How to attach the tubeless rim tape:
1. Measure the inside width of the rim.
2. The tubeless rim tape should be approx. 2 mm wider than the rim and can be bought from a specialist store.
3. Apply the tubeless rim tape. Depending on the rim/tire combination, it may be helpful to apply two or three layers of tubeless rim tape to optimally seal the rim bed.
By buying a DT Swiss carbon wheel, you will benefit from the Fair Share Policy which allows you to profit from a crash replacement service for your wheels, available for 10 years after purchase.

An industry disrupting rim manufacturing process and a layer-by-layer nondestructive inspection of every product creates light yet durable rims for a long-lasting riding experience. The patent-pending outer carbon layer enables an unrivaled high-quality finish on the rim surface, meaning it is ready-to-go, straight out of the mold.
The 1200 wheels are supported with carbon layers that enclose the entire rim to solidify the rim horns through long and uninterrupted fibers.
