Dt swiss
The others are like huffy and mongoose...

Dt fr560 is more than strong enough for dh.
Many pro dh racers actually use ex511 and ex471.

Gwins rode a 471 rim with no tire hard and it stayed round
Do you really need a rim wirh larger beads?

Especially on the front,
Badass enduro riders like ritchie rude and jared graves even ran trail rims in the front xm481 at 490g......

511 and 560 are similar in strength and stiffness but the 560 has thicker beads
Fr560 still uses eyelets.
All the ex series use phr washer and nipples, which are a move forward from eyelets

You can also look to hx series.
For e bikes
Slightly heaver than ex, slightly lighter than fr, but more sizes
Hx 491, 531, 581
25, 30, 35mm
Interestingly they are the only ones avaliable in 36h

I might reccomend ex471 or ex511 front
And hx491 or hx531 rear
So you can do 27mm f/25mm r, or 30mm f/30mm r. That way you can be all phr, and you can buy some decals feom slik graphics to make the both the same lol.


A syntace w33i is also worth looking at if your 28h
