The DT Swiss G 540 is the brand's go-anywhere gravel workhorse: a robust, sleeved aluminium rim with a wide 24mm internal bed that lets you run lower pressures for more grip, comfort and control on rough roads and trails.

Highlights

  • 650b (584) diameter for a smaller wheel with big tyre clearance
  • High-strength 32-hole drilling for durable, load-friendly builds
  • Wide 24mm internal width built for modern gravel tyres
  • Tubeless ready hooked (crotchet) bed for a secure, reliable seal
  • Disc-specific, sleeve-joint aluminium construction, black finish

Construction

The G 540 uses a hooked tubeless rim profile in 6000-series aluminium with a sleeve joint and non-eyelet spoke bed. At 28mm outer width and 25mm deep it balances strength and stiffness with a sensible weight of around 530g in this 650b size, and is rated to ASTM category 2 with a maximum system weight of 130kg. It is also approved for e-bikes up to 25km/h (max 250W).

Compatibility & fit

Disc brake only, 650b / 584 diameter. The smaller 650b wheel suits high-volume gravel and adventure tyres up to roughly 53mm for extra grip and comfort. The 32-hole count gives the most durable build for heavier riders, loaded touring and rough terrain. Use a Presta tubeless valve and suitable tubeless tape (not included).

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.
