Whereas the FR 541 is intended as the perfect DH race rim with a careful balance of impact resistance, ride characteristics and weight, the FR 571 goes all-in on pure strength for those who just can't help themselves and value durability above all else.
The result of extensive testing with some of the most destructive riders on the World Cup DH and EWS circuits as well as leading freeriders, this rim isn't for everyone but for the chosen few it will the answer to their prayers.
The 571 adds an extra 80 grams (in 27.5") over the 541, putting more material in places where even the renowned 541 gives way increasing durability to even greater heights, if you break one of these we will want to see the clip.
A fattened bead hook, already well proven on the 541 profile, widens and blunts the area that slams into the tyre during a heavy impact, increasing the force required to split the tyre by 17%, allowing you to go that bit harder.
Included Brass Flat Hex nipples are designed not to pierce rim tape should a spoke snap mid-race run or halfway down a sketchy line.
