On three of my mountain bikes I have the XM819 tubeless back in 2009-2013 their strongest tubeless vbrake rim, I have three pairs rims of XM819 as spare rims , I also have my two Treks sporting D521 rims linked to hope hubs. The D521 was one of their downhill strongest vbrake rim, another last mountain MTB project, a Gary Fisher Hookoo Ekoo will get the D521 with hope hubs.
