Despite their exceptionally low weight, DT's EXC 1550 wheels are aimed squarely at riders who may be sporting 5-6" travel bikes and often choose the harder route down the mountain.

Either way, the 1550 gram (claimed) EXC 1550 wheels are designed to be not only be uber-light, but also incredibly strong and stiff. There are lots of wheels to choose from that come in at the EXC's weight, but nearly none of those are intended to be put through the same hardships that these super hoops are designed to handle. So how does DT Swiss do it?
