DT Swiss FR 541 27.5" rim

Light and stable rim for gravity use

The FR 541 may not be your first rim, but it may be your last. The new rim shape improves impact resistance and allows you to attack even harder on the trails. It also improves puncture protection for a reliable ride on rough trails. Carefully constructed, it will reward you with resilience and lightness - for a lasting bond.

Not the first, but possibly the last

plate protection

Tests with a leading tire manufacturer have shown a 17% increase in plate resistance compared to the previous FR 560 rim.

Welded rim

The welding process for aluminum rims is the most durable connection process in the DT Swiss aluminum portfolio.

PHR system

Greater resistance with the PHR system. The PHR system increases the load-bearing area of the nipples on the rim and reduces local stresses.

highlights

• Aluminum rim for off-road use on rough terrain
• Reduced weight with improved stability at the same time
• Improved puncture protection
• Revised profile design

Technologies used

In this chapter we explain the technologies that the manufacturer uses in this product.

Welded
The profile rim ends are brought together by means of a welding process. This precise, stable and lightweight type of connection is used on all high-quality aluminum rims. This manufacturing process is the most expensive due to the complexity, but provides the most reliable connection.

Hokked / Crotchet Tubeless TC
Hook or crotchet refers to the shape of the rim flange, which has a so-called hook. This supports the attachment of the tire bead and ensures safe function, even when using a high tire pressure (> 5 bar). Tubeless means that the rim can be ridden without a tire tube, but a setup with a tube is also possible.
