531 with its 30 mm internal width is the perfect choice. With an ideal
position in the middle of the strength, to weight, to width range, it
works with many tire sizes and is the ideal choice for all eMTB's meant
to be ridden on proper MTB terrain.

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.
Lars doesn’t ride a standard bike, but that’s because he doesn’t do standard rides. Strength and reliability were the main concerns for his wheels and the HYBRID MTB components range precisely delivers that.
Which DT Swiss components would you use to complete the wheelset with the HX 531 rims?
