Materials & Construction:
Manufactured from high-strength, lightweight aluminum alloy, the DT Swiss XM 481 rim boasts a nearly seamless welding process and a specialized anodizing treatment, which significantly boosts structural integrity and corrosion resistance. Its 21mm profile ensures a balanced weight-to-strength ratio-only 510 grams per rim-optimized for demanding off-road conditions.
Performance & Engineering:
Designed for endurance and reliability, the XM 481 incorporates DT Swiss's patented Pro Head Reinforcement (PHR) System. This innovative ball-and-socket interface distributes load evenly across the rim, enhancing impact resistance and wheel longevity. The rim's precise construction supports tubeless-ready setups (tape, valves, and sealant sold separately), providing a seamless seal that reduces weight and rolling resistance while minimizing flats.

This tubeless-ready rim comes pre-installed with DT Swiss Prolock Squorx Pro Head nipples and PHR washers, ensuring a secure, durable build. The 32-hole, double-wall alloy design offers excellent spoke integration and stability for aggressive riding. The included Squorx nipples feature a unique square drive system for easier, tool-free tensioning, and the PHR washers are designed to optimize load transfer, working in perfect harmony with the Pro Head nipples.

Finished in sleek black, the DT Swiss XM 481 rim complements any mountain bike build with a modern, stealthy aesthetic. Its versatile design makes it suitable for Enduro, All Mountain, and Cross Country riding, offering the durability and performance required on technical descents and steep climbs alike.
