DT Swiss FR 541 / 240 DEG DF Mullet Wheelset – Limited Silver – 29"/27.5" – XD

DT Swiss FR 541 / 240 DEG DF Mullet MTB Wheelset – Limited Edition Silver

A premium custom wheelset combining DT Swiss FR 541 rims with limited-edition silver DT Swiss 240 DEG hubs featuring the DF adjustable freehub system.

Built in a 29" front / 27.5" rear mullet configuration, this wheelset is designed for aggressive trail, enduro and e-MTB riders looking for a strong aluminium wheelset with a unique solution to pedal kickback.

DF Adjustable Freehub – 0°, 10° or 20° Freedom

The standout feature of this wheelset is the DF upgrade fitted to the DT Swiss 240 DEG rear hub.

The DF system allows the rider to select between 0°, 10° or 20° of free movement before the freehub engages.

Adding controlled freedom at the freehub allows the suspension to move through its travel with less drivetrain interference, helping to reduce pedal kickback and isolate suspension movement from the drivetrain.

Choose between:

• 0° Freedom – direct response and minimal additional free movement
• 10° Freedom – a balance between engagement response and drivetrain isolation
• 20° Freedom – maximum freedom to minimise the effects of pedal kickback

This gives riders the ability to tune drivetrain behaviour to suit their bike, suspension design, terrain and personal preference.

It's particularly relevant on high-pivot and other suspension designs with significant chain growth, where pedal kickback can influence suspension performance through rough terrain.

Limited Edition Silver DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs

The DF system is built into a set of limited-edition silver DT Swiss 240 DEG hubs, giving this wheelset performance and appearance that stands apart from a standard FR 541 build.

The oversized DEG ratchet architecture provides the strength, reliability and serviceability expected from DT Swiss' premium 240 platform, while the silver finish makes these hubs a distinctive centrepiece of the build.

DT Swiss FR 541 Rims

The FR 541 is DT Swiss' tough aluminium freeride rim, designed to withstand hard impacts and demanding gravity riding.

With a 30mm internal width, the FR 541 provides excellent support for modern aggressive MTB tyres while retaining the impact resistance and practical repairability of a quality aluminium rim.

Mullet Performance

The 29" front / 27.5" rear configuration combines the rollover, stability and grip of a larger front wheel with the manoeuvrability and additional clearance of a smaller rear.

It's a proven combination for modern enduro and e-MTB platforms where descending performance and responsive handling are priorities.

Combined with the strength of the FR 541 rims and the limited-edition silver 240 hubs, this is a seriously capable custom wheelset for demanding modern mountain bikes.
