Yes, good wheels , great price. XM 1510 are normally centre lock though. DT Swiss wheels usually come with 6 bolt to centre lock adaptors - but I doubht these OEM ones will.

Also - those ones have a SRAM XD freehub.

I think it will have 240 internals in the hub, mine was badged as an XM1501 Spline One, and definitely had them, although the hub didn't have the classic 240 colour scheme. Mine are six bolt.

Great wheels though.

OEM for a manufacturer with SRAM build kit so DT will have build to suit 6 bolt rotor requirements
No reason not to like them!

I have the XR1501 and its definitely avalaible as 6 bolt.The other place to look is Tri Sport resort (Wiggle ebay outlet). I recently got a pair, listed separately for £160.

The XR/XM/EX wheelsets all use 240S hubs, so yes, very good.

Can’t see if they are 6 bolt or CL, but either way you can usually buy the decent DT adapters for about £10 on EBay.

For £400, no - I would say there arnt any wheels better IMO. Personally I think for general riding, they are probably the best wheelset on the market, regardless of cost 🙂

That's the one for 12 speed Shimano.

Rear hub is silent too

Depends how much of the special stuff you stick on the ratchet rings. Mine makes a pleasant buzz.

I have some, build quality is best I’ve ever had by far and bearings already lasting loads longer than Hopes. Id like quicker engagement but I’d definitely have another set for £400.
Can’t get rid of the dodgy graphics though.
