For riders who are never satisfied with second place, the DT Swiss XRC 1200 SPLINE is built to deliver uncompromising Cross-Country performance. Engineered for explosive acceleration, razor-sharp handling, and race-winning efficiency, this wheelset represents the pinnacle of DT Swiss MTB innovation.

At its core lies a revolutionary carbon rim manufacturing process, delivering the lightest XC rims DT Swiss has ever produced. Combined with DT revolite® spokes and the ultra-light 180 hub with Ratchet EXP 54, the XRC 1200 SPLINE offers a perfectly tuned system that rewards every watt you put into the pedals.

A lighter front rim enhances agility and steering precision, while the rear wheel is optimized for maximum power transfer and durability. The result is a wheelset designed to help you take the lead, and stay there.

Next-Generation Carbon Rim Technology

Pure Carbon. Maximum Compression. Zero Compromise.

The XRC 1200 SPLINE introduces an industry-disrupting rim manufacturing process that achieves maximum carbon layer compression, creating rims that are both exceptionally light and remarkably durable.

Each rim undergoes a 100% layer-by-layer non-destructive inspection, ensuring minimal imperfections and consistent performance. Carbon layers fully enclose the rim horns, reinforcing them against impacts with long, uninterrupted fibers, no cosmetic finishing required, straight out of the mold.

Agility Meets Control

- 30 mm internal width for modern XC tire profiles

- Hookless tubeless TSS interface for optimal tire stability and impact resistance

- Precise handling with increased grip and lower rolling resistance

180 Hub with Ratchet EXP 54

The heart of the XRC 1200 SPLINE is the legendary DT Swiss 180 hub, combining ultra-low weight with extreme stiffness and durability.

DT revolite® Spokes

Laced with 24 DT revolite® t-head spokes, the XRC 1200 SPLINE achieves an outstanding balance of strength, stiffness, and weight. These spokes outperform traditional MTB spokes in durability while remaining among the lightest in their class.
