The DT Swiss FR 541 is a welded aluminium gravity rim built to take a beating on freeride, downhill and enduro trails. Its reshaped profile delivers roughly 17% better pinch-flat resistance than the FR 560 it replaces, so you can run lower pressures and hold your line through the rough.
Highlights
- 30mm internal width for a stable, well-supported tyre profile
- Welded rim joint for a strong, even, true-running hoop
- Non-eyelet Pro Head Reinforcement (PHR) spoke bed
- Tubeless Ready with a hooked, small-hook bead
- ASTM Category 5 rated and e-MTB approved
Built for gravity
The welded joint creates a seamless, high-strength hoop, while the non-eyelet Pro Head Reinforcement spoke bed adds material exactly where the spokes load the rim. Together with the reshaped profile and its improved pinch-flat resistance, the FR 541 is engineered to survive hard hits at a maximum system weight of 140 kg.
Compatibility & fit
32-hole drilling, disc-specific (no brake track). Tubeless Ready with a Presta valve. Sold here as a front rim, though it is the same rim used for front or rear wheel builds.
DT Swiss covers this rim with a 24-month warranty against material and manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Normal wear items, including tubeless tape, are not covered. The DT Swiss crash-replacement (Fair Share) programme applies to carbon rims only and does not apply to this aluminium rim.
For any warranty support, please return the item to Tune Cycles and our team will handle the claim on your behalf.
