The DT Swiss R 500 DB 700c Disc Brake Rim is a robust, versatile choice for gravel, all-road, cyclocross, commuting, and light touring. Engineered specifically for disc brake systems, this 24-hole alloy rim features a 22mm internal width, optimized for 30–35c high-volume tyres, making it ideal for the latest generation of multi-surface adventure and gravel bikes.
Unlike adapted MTB XC rims, the R 500 DB is a purpose-built road and gravel rim, capable of safely handling higher tyre pressures. It’s compatible with both clincher and tubeless road tyre setups when paired with DT Swiss tubeless tape and valves, giving you flexibility whether you're training, racing, or bikepacking.
With a 130 kg system weight limit, the R 500 DB is perfect for heavier riders, loaded touring setups, or long-distance gravel adventures. Its durable black finish is the result of DT Swiss’s unique coating process, designed to withstand tough conditions while maintaining a sleek look.
