The DT Swiss XM 481 is a do-it-all aluminium rim for trail and all-mountain riding. With a 30 mm internal width, a tough welded build and ASTM Category 4 rating, it pairs everyday versatility with the strength to handle aggressive trails and e-MTB use.

Highlights

  • 30 mm internal width for stable, grippy wide tyres
  • Welded joint for a strong, true rim
  • Non-eyelet PHR spoke bed for durability
  • ASTM 4 and e-bike approved
  • Tubeless Ready

One rim for the whole mountain

The XM 481's 30 mm internal width gives modern trail tyres a broad, supportive base for more grip and control, while the welded joint and non-eyelet Pro Head Reinforcement (PHR) spoke bed spread loads to keep the wheel strong and true. Its ASTM Category 4 rating and e-bike approval make it equally at home on a regular trail bike or an e-MTB.
