DT Swiss FR541 Rim

The FR 541 may not be your first rim, but it aspires to be the last. The new rim shape improves the impact resistance, enabling you to push a little harder on the trails. It also enhances the pinch flat protection for a trusty ride on rougher tracks. Build this rim with care and it will reward you with resistance and lightness for a long-lasting bond.

DT Swiss 350 Boost MTB 32H Hubset

With DT Swiss’ new 350, reliability has never been more important. This new state of the arch Swiss technology fits perfectly in the centrelock rotor to make sure it remains safe and intact. Its 32 holes with a 6-bolt Disc relies on the strong materials used to create it. Although a small part its clever details reinforce the transfer of the highest of loads and make it more aerodynamic, so you don’t need to worry about bulk. Able to withstand the tension of the strongest pedaling power, the 350 gives athletes reliable direct power transmission.

Threadlock/Prolock Nipples

Please note that DT is in the process of phasing out "Squorx" Nipples. Pro Lock is a process where a dual compound, adhesive liquid is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for extremely durable wheel builds. By threading the nipple onto the spoke the adhesive is activated and starts to harden. Re-truing the wheel is still possible after the adhesive has hardened completely, with only a minimal decrease of its thread-lock function.
