DT Swiss have announced a new line of light road rims, called the RR411 series. This series is targeted at high end road riders with disc and rim brake options available. The RRP is £69.95 per rim. There is a disc brake version (RR411DB) plus a regular rim brake model (RR411) and asymmetric rim brake model (rear, rim brake use only). See below for details and links.
RR 411 DB ASYMMETRIC
ALUMINIUM ROAD BIKE DISC RIM
The most advanced alloy existing for rims meets the most advanced rim profile to form the RR 411 rim. From the moment the alloy is melted all the way to the secret surface treatment, this rim is all about getting the absolute best out of the great, shiny metal that is aluminum. Very light, very strong, very classy is the result. Due to its asymmetric design it allows to build wheels with even tension, making for an even crispier ride. And being disc brake specific brings down the weight even further while staying all black to score high on style points.
Features:
- An impressively lightweight, all round disc road rim with an 18 mm internal diameter for wider tyres.
- Low profile design and PHR spoke interface reduce weight without sacrificing performance and handling.
- Asymmetrical rim profile is intended to counteract the off-set produced by using discs brakes hubs, improving spoke angles and allowing for more even tension, strengthening and stiffening the wheel.
- Can be run either with standard clinchers or road tubeless tyres using tubeless tape and valves.
- Strength Boost Welding Technology creates a perfectly welded join for a durable, reliable rim.
- PHR washers and convex Squorx nipples naturally align perfectly with your chosen spokes, increasing stiffness and durability with no weight penalty over traditional eyeleted rims.
- Unique process for the black coating produces a tough and durable finish.
- Suggested maximum system weight of 100 KG, those looking for a rim for heavier riders or for mixed terrain riding are advised to consider the suitably tough RR 511 DB’s.
- Presta drilling.
- ERD: 601
- Outer width: 21.5 mm, Inner Width: 18 mm
- Height: 21 mm
- Max spoke tension: 1200 N
- Weight: 410 grams
