The DT Swiss G 540 DB 32 hole Presta-drilled disc brake rim is a premium choice for riders seeking durability and performance in a 27.5" / 650B size. Designed with modern gravel and adventure cycling in mind, this rim offers a perfect balance of strength and weight, supporting wide tyres up to 35c or larger. Its robust, sleeved construction ensures a reliable ride, while the unique black coating delivers a tough, long-lasting finish that stands up to the demands of varied terrain.
With an outer width of 28 mm and an inner width of 24 mm, the rim enhances tyre support, allowing for lower pressures that improve grip and comfort without sacrificing rolling efficiency. The DT Swiss G 540 DB is compatible with both standard clinchers and road tubeless tyres, providing versatility for different riding setups. Presta drilling and a maximum spoke tension of 1200 N assure secure wheel builds, making this rim an excellent foundation for high-performance wheels on gravel, cyclocross, or light touring bikes.
Engineered beyond UCI restrictions, the G 540 DB offers a substantial weight limit suitable for bikepacking and multi-surface adventures. It combines the strength and pressure handling of a road rim with the wider profile needed for modern off-road cycling, giving riders confidence and control over diverse surfaces.
