DT Swiss Sleeve Joint Technology:

The rim’s stability is ensured by the Sleeve Joint process, which is the best alternative to welding. This involves inserting the rim using a moulded part that is pressed evenly into the profile. This creates a stable and highly durable joint.

DT Swiss tubeless-ready rim:

The profiles of DT Swiss tubeless-ready rims are specially designed for tubeless use. They guarantee a perfect fit and make tyre installation as easy as possible. Nevertheless, it is always possible to use a conventional combination of tyre and inner tube. DT Swiss tubeless-ready rims offer further advantages over conventional rims. Thanks to the design of their cross-section, the tyre simply pops into place when inflated, meaning that in most cases only a standard floor pump is required. The sophisticated profile of DT Swiss rims also ensures a precise and secure fit for the tyre, even under tough riding conditions.
