Strong, reliable and upgrade-ready: the XM481 / 350 wheelset is the ideal handbuilt starting point for riders who want Swiss quality without the top-end hub price tag — and the ability to upgrade later.
- DT Swiss XM481 rims — 30mm inner, tubeless-ready, hooked profile, 27.5" or 29"
- DT Swiss 350 Boost hubs — Ratchet 36T, 110x15mm front / 148x12mm rear
- Upgradeable to 54T ratchet spring for faster engagement
- 32H with DT Competition spokes and Squorx Pro Lock brass nipples
The XM481 rim pairs an all-mountain friendly 30mm inner width with DT Swiss' quality welded construction and tubeless-ready hook profile. It runs modern 2.3"–2.6" tyres confidently and holds a tubeless bead securely.
The 350 hub is DT Swiss' workhorse platform — built around the same Ratchet engagement system as the 240 but at a more accessible price. The 36-tooth ratchet spring provides a 10° pick-up angle. When you're ready to step up, simply swapping in a 54T spring shortens that to 6.6° — no new hub required. Contact Tune Cycles to choose your preferred freehub standard when ordering.
- DT Swiss XM481 rims — 30mm inner width and minimal-hook tubeless profile for confident tyre support on demanding trails
- DT Swiss 350 Boost hubs with Ratchet 36T engagement system — proven reliability at a strong price point
- Boost axle spacing (110x15mm front / 148x12mm rear) for optimal spoke bracing and wheel stiffness
- Ratchet system is field-upgradeable to 54T for faster engagement without replacing the whole hub
- 32H lacing with DT Swiss Competition butted spokes and Squorx Pro Lock brass nipples
- An excellent entry point into handbuilt wheels with DT Swiss components throughout
