The @bikecomponents team also assembled the FR 541 in their workshop in Germany. Right after, Kevin from the service department went to test them on some jumps and roots: “The new DT Swiss gravity rim FR 541 convinces in terms of reliability: with its new, extremely shock-resistant shape, it ensures that you make it safely over every jump without risking a flat tire.” Thank you BC! 📸: Bike-Components

The team at the @district12_gmbh bike shop in Reinach (CH) built up a FR 541 with other DT Swiss components. The 240 is certainly an excellent choice for the intended use of this wheelset. They described it as, “stronger, lighter, more resistant! The brand new Freeride and Downhill rim FR 541 of DT Swiss will possibly the last rim that you will mount on your bike.” Thank you, District12! 📸: District12

While building the FR 541, Michael Baehler of the @one80shop in Biel said, "I recognized the usual build quality of the brand and the combination of this rim with DT Swiss spokes and hubs made the assembly quick and easy". Thanks to Michu for letting us participate in this wheelbuild. Find out more information about the new FR 541 by following our link in bio!
