Overview
The EXC 1200 Classic is the carbon enduro wheel that supports your most daring line choices. A unique manufacturing process provides maximum carbon compression for the most durable MTB rims yet, while a patent-pending quality control technique scans each rim layer-by-layer to minimize imperfections. The lighter front rim has 28 DT revolite spokes and the more durable rear has 32. The high-engaging Ratchet DEG 90-tooth system delivers a smaller idle distance, crucial for acceleration out of corners.
