THE enduro wheel set of 2014: minimal weight, very strong construction, good price-performance ratio, and clever features make the SPLINE EX 1501 a reliable companion for enduro riders. The delicately interlocked freewheel “Ratchet System®” is equally as impressive as the wide, tubeless-capable rims and the strong straight-pull spokes.

Highlights

  • 36 tooth Ratchet System®
  • Wide rims for ideal tire profiles
  • Simple modification to all axle standards
  • Straight pull spokes eliminate the conventional weak point of j-bend spokes
  • Tool-free maintenance

Price: 899 EUR
Weight: 804 / 906 GRAMS (FW/RW)
