Envision riding the fastest line, a rocky ridge or over a nasty field of
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
unique process provides maximum carbon compression to push durability
further than ever before. A patent-pending technique for layer-by-layer
quality control ensures minimized imperfections straight out of the
mold, to maximize your commitment. A lighter front rim has 28 DT
revolite spokes, while the more durable rear rim has 32. The high-

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.
Absolutely unique rims are what make up the EXC 1200 CLASSIC. These rims are not only unique in their manufacture but also in their quality control. To ensure that each rim is 100% ready for use, we use a patent-pending quality control technique that allows us to scan each rim down to the layer. These rims are designed to tour the world, including the World Cup tracks! 🌍🏆

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.
