The FR 1500 is DT Swiss's premium gravity front wheel, engineered for professional-level downhill and freeride riding. A 30 mm alloy tubeless-compatible rim absorbs the impact energy of missed lines and technical features, while the 240 hub platform brings race-level bearing quality and engagement precision to the front end.

  • 30 mm internal rim width — optimised for 2.4–2.6" DH/freeride tyres
  • Alloy rim with hooked tubeless-compatible (TC) profile
  • DT Swiss 240 hub with Ratchet EXP 36 engagement
  • 28 front spokes — reduced unsprung mass without sacrificing strength
  • DT Competition spokes
  • Tubeless ready — tape and valve included
  • Boost front axle compatible
  • 6-Bolt disc brake interface

Lighter than the FR 1950

The FR 1500 runs 28 front spokes (down from 32 on its predecessor), cutting weight from the front wheel where it reduces rotational inertia without materially affecting structural integrity. The overall set is approximately 7% lighter than the FR 1950.

240 hub at the core

The 240 hub is DT Swiss's benchmark gravity hub — refined through years of World Cup racing. Ratchet EXP 36 engagement provides rapid pickup and is easy to service in the field.

Compatibility

Boost front axle. 6-Bolt disc brake interface. Tubeless compatible. Verify exact axle size against fork specification before ordering.
