The DT Swiss G 540 DB 28 hole Presta-drilled disc brake rim is expertly engineered to meet the demands of modern mountain biking and gravel riding. Designed with a 28 mm outer width and 24 mm inner width, this rim perfectly supports wide tyres of 35c or larger, enhancing grip, comfort, and control on diverse terrains. Its robust sleeved construction guarantees durability without compromising on weight, making it an excellent choice for riders seeking reliability and performance.
Available in the versatile 27.5" / 650B size, the G 540 DB rim is ideal for adventure cyclists who need a strong, lightweight rim capable of handling a maximum system weight of 130 KG. The rim is compatible with both standard clinchers and road tubeless tyres, using DT Swiss tubeless tape and valves, providing flexibility to customize your setup. Its unique black coating ensures a tough, durable finish that withstands the rigors of off-road use.
Unlike lightweight XC mountain bike rims sometimes repurposed for gravel, the G 540 DB is designed specifically as a robust road rim able to safely handle higher tyre pressures. With features like Presta drilling and a maximum spoke tension of 1200 N, it offers exceptional build quality and wheel strength. Whether you're tackling technical trails or embarking on extended bikepacking trips, this rim delivers dependable performance.
