Constructed from top-level materials and featuring the most advanced construction technologies this brand has to offer, the DT Swiss XM 421 rim is ideally suited to the most intense and rigorous all mountain (AM), trail and downhill (DH) terrain. DT Swiss creates every rim to competition-level quality and the DT Swiss XM 421 rim is a perfect example of that dedication to the sport.
Thanks to the precise workmanship from DT Swiss, this rim is the perfect companion for general Trail riding, capable of sessioning all day long. As this is the asymmetric version, it will lace up perfectly with your hubs should they have an asymmetric flange design.
This rim is perfectly designed for anything you may encounter on high-intensity trail descents, it is strong and stiff so that control is predictable and stable. This rim has also been machined in areas where the extra material is not needed to reduce the weight so that it is excellent for climbing, without sacrificing structural strength. Tubeless Ready Tubeless tyres have several advantages over the conventional combination of tube and tyre. The tyre can run with lower pressures to provide a better grip without risking snakebites. The lower pressure also results in a more comfortable ride. Eliminating the tube means there is no friction between tube and tyre and therefore less rolling resistance when the tyre rolls over the ground and obstacles. If tubeless milk is used, the tyre can self-seal stings and small cuts. A big advantage for all those who like to ride for long and far away from the nearest bike shop.

It also prevents a broken spoke from puncturing the tubeless system and losing air TCS tape is also required for tubeless setup (sold separetely) Technologies: Universal Standard Tubeless (UST) Ready: The UST concept improves traction, control and comfort while reducing inertia and flats. TCS 2.0 Technology: This refined version of the “Tubeless Compatible System” offers the same high performance, lightweight mountain bike rim structure, but is now easier to install and more dependable. Dual I-Beam Support: Two vertical supports within the inner cavity drastically increase the strength and lateral stiffness of our KOM Tough rims. These additional reinforcements counteract spoke loads, which improves stiffness and minimizes deflection in rocky, unpredictable terrain. 4D Angled Spoke Holes: Drilling spoke holes at an angle eliminates binding and lateral loading of the spoke and nipple interface. It also allows spoke tension to be more evenly dispersed on the nipple rather than loading one side more than the other. Allowing the spoke to depart the rim at a natural angle increases the long-term durability of both the spoke and nipple.
