DT Swiss introduce new FR 1500 Classic aluminum wheelset with FR 541 rims ahead of the 2023 Downhill World Cup starter in Lenzerheide
DT Swiss FR 1500 Classic Wheelsetrim was released in September of last year as a lighter, more impact resistant alternative to the long-standing FR 560 rim. Those looking for an off-the-shelf solution can now invest in a complete wheelset benefiting from the improved rim profile.
The DT Swiss FR 1500 Classic has a front wheel laced with 28 spokes, and a rear laced with 32 spokes; that compares to the FR 1950 Wheelset where each wheel runs 32 spokes a piece. Professional downhill racer Jamie Edmondson, formerly of the Rockshox Trek Race Team says, “I definitely benefited from the front wheel having a couple less spokes – a little bit more traction and helping you take lines you maybe couldn’t get before”.
