DT Swiss G 540 DB 27.5″ 28h Gravel Disc Rim – Black

– Freed from UCI regulation, the DT Swiss Gravel range was free to go as wide as DT’s test data suggested, after extensive testing of different tyre profiles & rim shapes, DT engineers have settled on a full 24mm as the perfect width for modern Gravel bikes
– The added width gives better support to wide, 35c or larger tyres, allowing the use of lower pressures, enhancing grip & comfort whilst reducing rolling resistance & tyre flex under cornering
– Robust, sleeved construction gives a great value package for a wide gravel rim
– Need a rim for cyclocross racing or just something a bit less specific? Check out the R 500 Cross Road, which is fully UCI compliant & a great option for 30-35c tyres
– A substantial 130KG weight limit means these can be used for bike packing or light touring
– Unlike the lightweight XC mountain bike rims that have been used as impromptu gravel rims in the past these are proper road rims & designed to handle higher pressures safely
– Can be run either with standard clinchers or road tubeless tyres using DT Swiss tubeless tape & valves
– Unique process for the black coating produces a tough & durable finish
