The 'G 540 DB 28 hole Prestadrilled disc brake' by DT Swiss is a remarkable fusion of top-notch performance and outstanding resilience. Born from a desire to exceed the UCI regulations, the DT Swiss gravel range, where this product belongs, experiments with a broader spectrum of tyre profiles and rim shapes. With extensive testing, the engineers at DT Swiss have come to an exciting conclusion that a full 24 mm is the optimal width for the modern Gravel bikes.

This increased rim width delivers superior support for larger, 35c or wide tyres. This allows the implementation of low pressures, which boosts grip as well as comfort, whilst simultaneously diminishing rolling resistance and tyre flex when cornering. A robust, sleeved construction makes this product a great choice for a wide gravel rim.
