Wheel Factory XM481 Fr 29in Disc 6-Bolt 15x110 Thru Axle Black
Reference Number: 4QS5EH
Upgrade your mountain biking setup with the Wheel Factory DT XM481 29" Front Wheel featuring DT Swiss 370 hubs - engineered for Trail, Enduro, and light Downhill performance. Crafted with precision and built for durability, these hand-laced, tubeless-ready wheels deliver superior ride quality, reliability, and versatility across challenging terrains.
Materials and Construction:
Designed with lightweight, high-strength aluminum rims, the DT XM 481 features a 30mm internal width, optimized for tires ranging from 2.3" to 2.8". The 21mm deep, disc-specific rims are tubeless-compatible, reducing pinch flats and enhancing ride consistency. The rims incorporate DT Swiss's patented Pro Head Reinforcement System (PHR), distributing load evenly for increased durability and impact resistance, making these wheels ideal for aggressive Trail and Enduro riding.
Performance & Engineering:
Boasting industry-leading Trail and Enduro performance, the wheels are engineered for stability and control at high speeds on technical trails. The 960g lightweight profile minimizes rotational weight, boosting climbing efficiency without sacrificing strength. The rims' tubeless design helps keep lower pressures for better traction and shock absorption, providing confidence-inspiring handling in all conditions.
Components & Technology:
Equipped with the NEW DT Swiss 370 hubs featuring the ratchet LN driver mechanism, these wheels benefit from reliable engagement and smooth operation. Compatibility with all Ratchet LN freehub bodies and optional upgrades (36 and 54 POE ratchet systems) ensures future-proof versatility. The hubs include IS-6B disc brake mounts for powerful, consistent braking with 6-bolt rotors. Built with DT Swiss Competition double-butted spokes (2.0/1.8/2.0) and brass Squorx nipples, each wheel is hand-laced and trued in the USA to exacting standards.
Style & Use Case:
Designed for serious mountain bikers, the black anodized finish offers a clean, sleek look that complements any bike build. Whether tackling technical trails, enduro racing, or light downhill laps, these wheels provide exceptional reliability, durability, and ride feel. The 15x110 thru-axle front spacing ensures compatibility with modern trail bikes, offering increased stiffness and precise handling.
