Based on the new DT Swiss FR 571 rims and ultra dependable 350 hubs Rims - DT Swiss FR 571 - Treat the mountain with the disrespect it deserves and get Rude as Hell, the FR 571 can take it Whereas the FR 541 is intended as the perfect DH race rim with a careful balance of impact resistance, ride characteristics and weight, the FR 571 goes all-in on pure strength for those who just can't help themselves and value durability above all else The result of extensive testing with some of the most destructive riders on the World Cup DH and EWS circuits as well as leading freeriders, this rim isn't for everyone but for the chosen few it will the answer to their prayers The 571 adds an extra 80 grams (in 27.5") over the 541, putting more material in places where even the renowned 541 gives way increasing durability to even greater heights, if you break one of these we will want to see the clip A fattened bead hook, already well proven on the 541 profile, widens and blunts the area that slams into the tyre during a heavy impact, increasing the force required to split the tyre by 17%, allowing you to go that bit harder Included Brass Flat Hex nipples are designed not to pierce rim tape should a spoke snap mid-race run or halfway down a sketchy line Hubs - DT Swiss 350 Ratchet 36 - Whilst DT's legendary superlight 240 hub gets all the glory, out there winning everything from Grand Tours to DH World Championships, no other hub powers as many rides as DT's value work horse the 350 Based heavily on the 240, the 350 has a less-machined hub shell and axle, saving considerable CNC time at the cost of a slightly higher weight As a major upgrade, the latest 350 rear hubs now feature the 36-tooth SL ratchets, greatly speeding up engagement and reducing the weight of the rear hub Spokes - Sapim Race Black - To defaut spoke for wheel builders worldwide Spoke Nipples - DT Swiss Flat Head Black Brass - Brass Flat Hex nipples are designed not to pierce rim tape should a spoke snap mid-race run or halfway down a sketchy line 32 hole 3x lacing all round
