DT Swiss FR541 DT 350 Hybrid hand-built wheelset

A DT Swiss FR541 rim set laced 32-spoke front and rear to DT 350 Hybrid hubs, built by hand in our Marrickville workshop, tensioned, stress-relieved and trued before it leaves the bench. Our Pro wheel build and tubeless tape fitted are included and show as two free lines in your cart.

Before you order — what your bike decides

  • Wheel size — 29", 27.5" or mullet; mullet means 29" front and 27.5" rear. Read it off your tyre sidewall.
  • Rear axle — Boost 12 × 148 only on this wheelset: measure the inside of the dropouts.
  • Front axle — Boost 15 × 110 only on this wheelset: check the fork lowers.
  • Rotor mount — Centre Lock only on this wheelset: check your rotors.
  • Cassette — the freehub body follows it: Shimano 12-speed MTB is Micro Spline, SRAM Eagle is XD, Shimano 11-speed and older (and CUES LG) is HG. Offered here: Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD.

Who it is for

For downhill, freeride and bike-park riding — the DT Swiss FR541 is DT's ASTM 5 gravity rim. For trail or XC riding our XM481 and XR391 kits are lighter; on an e-bike see the 350 Hybrid or Hope Pro 5e versions.

The rider's questions

  • How much can it carry? Max system weight (rider, bike and gear) 140 kg — the DT Swiss FR541 rating, the lowest-rated part of the build.
  • What tyres fit? 2.1–2.7" tyres are DT's recommended range for a 30 mm inner width; 1.85"–2.0" and 2.8" are possible. The tyre's own maximum pressure applies; the rim sets none.
  • E-bike? Yes — the DT 350 Hybrid is DT's e-bike-duty hub: DT recommends the Hybrid above 55 Nm of motor torque and requires it above 100 Nm.
  • How fast does the hub engage? 24 points of engagement — Ratchet System 24, 15° between clicks.
  • Warranty? DT Swiss parts 24 months from purchase; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
  • How long does it take? Built to order — we confirm the build date by email when you order.

Kit includes

Options: rim diameter 29", 27.5" or mullet · freehub Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD · tubeless valves (50 mm) · Muc Off Sealant No Puncture.

Everything in the Wheelset box is built in. The rows under Upgrades are optional: tick what you want and the price updates. If you want us to lace a rim or hub you already own, that is a workshop job — contact us for a quote.

Sold separately (shown with this kit): a cassette for your freehub body, tyres to suit (sizes above). Rotors: one per wheel, to match your rotor mount and your brake caliper's size range.

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, brought up to tension evenly to the lower of the rim and hub limits (1200 N), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. Tubeless tape (32 mm) is fitted to the rim; add valves and sealant and it is ready for tyres.

Tune Cycles builds and fits these wheels. If you are unsure what your frame, fork or drivetrain takes, ask us before you order.

DT Swiss rims and hubs are covered for 24 months from purchase against material and manufacturing defects (dtswiss.com/en/support/warranty); riding outside the rim's ASTM category voids it. Our build — lacing, tension and truing — carries our workmanship guarantee. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles: bring the wheel to Marrickville or contact us with your order number and we handle it with the brand. Wear, crash damage, corrosion and incorrect fitting are not covered.
