Introducing the DT Swiss FR 541 - the ultimate MTB rim that combines the best of two iconic models, the EX 511 and the FR 560. With never-before-seen features and a meticulous redesign, this rim is lighter, stronger, and offers unparalleled puncture resistance in the industry.
The FR 541 takes on board key lessons from the renowned EX 511, incorporating new features that have never been seen on a DT rim before. The result? A rim that can handle the toughest of impacts and allow you to push your limits on the trails.
One of the standout features of the FR 541 is its completely new bead hook profile. This design widens and blunts the area that comes into contact with the tire during heavy impacts. As a result, it increases the force required to split the tire by a remarkable 17%. This means you can now go even harder without worrying about damaging your tires.
But that's not all. The rims profile has been completely reworked, resulting in a weight reduction of just 35 grams compared to the EX 511. This not only makes it lighter, but also improves upon the already impressive strength-to-weight ratio of the FR 560.
The FR 541 is also available in both 28 and 32 hole counts, giving you the flexibility to choose the one that suits your riding style. And with a weight of only 570 grams (27.5 inch) or 605 grams (29 inch), you won't have to compromise on speed or agility.
This rim also boasts a high-quality decal design, with multiple options to choose from, allowing you to customize your wheels to suit your individual style. And with DT's signature bead blasted black finish, you can be sure it will remain the toughest out there, no matter how rough the terrain gets.
To top it off, the FR 541 also comes with PHR washers and convex Squorx nipples, which align perfectly with your chosen spokes, increasing stiffness and durability without adding any extra weight.
In summary, the DT Swiss FR 541 is the ultimate choice for MTB enthusiasts seeking a lightweight, durable and customizable rim. With a width of 30mm and outer width of 35mm, and a height of 21mm, it's designed to handle everything the mountain throws your way. Don't just take our word for it - experience the power of the FR 541 for yourself and elevate your riding to the next level.
