The DT Swiss XM 481 is an aluminium all-mountain and trail rim that combines a wide 30mm internal profile with welded, hard-wearing construction for confident everyday riding.

Highlights

  • Wide 30mm internal channel supports high-volume trail tyres for grip and control
  • Welded rim joint for a strong, consistent and reliable interface
  • Non-eyelet Pro Head Reinforcement (PHR) spoke bed spreads spoke loads for durability
  • Tubeless Ready out of the box for lower pressures and fewer flats
  • ASTM Category 4 rated and e-bike approved for versatile trail use

Construction

The rim uses a welded joint and a non-eyelet PHR (Pro Head Reinforcement) spoke bed, which reinforces the spoke holes and distributes load without traditional eyelets. Dimensions are 30mm internal, 35mm outer and 21mm rim depth.

Compatibility & fit

This is the 27.5in/650B, 28-hole version. It is disc-specific with no brake track and is Tubeless Ready using a Presta valve. Build it with the supplied DT Pro Lock Squorx nipples and PHR washers. A front or rear SKU is the same rim; choose the hole count and diameter to suit your wheel build.

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.
