Enduro may be young as a discipline, but at its core is the intrinsic
need of riders to ride burlier terrain faster and faster. Something that
MTB was all about since the beginning. The EX 511 rim is the perfect
tool for this quest: It comes with all the technology that has delivered
many EWS wins and packs it in a 30 mm wide profile. Ready to go burlier,
faster.

The current DT Swiss wheels are tubeless-ready and come with mounted tubeless rim tape and corresponding valves. For conversion, you will need a tubeless-capable tire (optimal: UST) and tire sealant. You can find both at an official dealer. Our How To video will take you through step-by-step assembly.
If you have previously ridden your bike with a tube or if the tape no longer sticks properly to the rim, we recommend that you replace the rim tape as a precaution.
How to attach the tubeless rim tape:
1. Measure the inside width of the rim.
2. The tubeless rim tape should be approx. 2 mm wider than the rim and can be bought from a specialist store.
3. Apply the tubeless rim tape. Depending on the rim/tire combination, it may be helpful to apply two or three layers of tubeless rim tape to optimally seal the rim bed.

As wider rims have developed, so have wider tires. However, the different tire and rim widths are not universally compatible. Essentially: The wider the rim, the wider the tires that can be fitted.
«I'm not easy on wheels, and it's a good thing we are running DT Swiss components. The EX 511 rim I use can take anything I throw at them and keeps running smooth. I have been trusting them for more years than I can count.»

You can't really go wrong here, but we're still curious:
If you had to race in Finale Ligure during a World Cup, would you choose the EX 511 rims, the FR 560 rims, or the FR 1500 CLASSIC wheelset? 🔥

One of our Enduro racing highlights of the year! Anna Newkirk, US Downhill National Champion, took on the Bellwald EDR in Switzerland and secured 8th place. Can’t wait to see you back between the Enduro tapes next year, right @annanewkirk_?

The first DH WC of the year took place in Lourdes, France this past weekend. Even in a downhill race, style has its place! Was there a combo more brilliant than @tahneeseagrave and her bike?
Congratulations on her great performance placing third on the podium. Rolling on the EX 511, check out the rims with our link in bio.

Visible in many of our pictures but rarely the focal point, the truing stand is one of the most sophisticated tools among our range for wheel mounting, designed to make wheel building more precise and more efficient.

Phoebe Gale lays her pink Canyon Sender low in the corner. With 30mm inner width the EX 511 rim provides the necessary support for the tires. The different conditions on the track demanded everything from rider and material.
Congrats @_phoebegale for taking first place in the junior women’s race in Les Gets.

It’s the kind of ride dreams are made of – untouched dirt in the Southern Alps of New Zealand on trails that flow like mountain runoff. Speed, agility, and flow intersect at every corner, peeling your eyelids back and plastering a grin across your dusty mug.
For some, rides like this are few and far between, and the moment is fleeting - blink and it's gone.
@samblenkinsop was lucky enough to find himself in the middle of one while christening the Glendhu Bike Park, just outside Wanaka, New Zealand – and the crew from HUNT Cinema was there to capture his first tracks aboard the 2020 Sight.
