DT Swiss's carbon EXC 1550 wheels raised everyone's eyebrows when they showed up at Pinkbike HQ. At 1550 grams and with a 29 mm wide carbon rim, white bladed spokes, and built around DT's proven hubs, it really doesn't get much more deluxe than this.

Revelation set the bar for all front suspension that performs in the 150mm travel arena. To continue the RockShox promise we had to work hard to uphold performance and low weight in such an affordable fork. The “outside the box” approach in spring and weight development really tells a story about creativity and innovation in product development.
