DT Swiss HX 491 E-MTB Rim
This lightweight, stiff, and precise aluminum rim is approved for eMTB use. 25 mm internal width supports mid volume MTB tires exceptionally well. The bead blasted surface finish is durable and retains its good looks even after many hard trail miles.
- E-MTB's are a whole ton of fun but there's no denying that they are extremely hard on components, especially wheels
- It's not just the extra mass; the huge, sustained torque an E-bike and rider can produce means standard wheels simply don't last
- This is where DT's Mission Hybrid comes in, a whole line of wheels and components specifically designed to go the distance under regular E-MTB usage
- For the Hybrid rims the key difference is a thicker, reinforced spoke bed, increasing Pull-through force by 20% at a key failure point for E-MTBs and greatly extending fatigue life for minimal weight gain
- The tubeless ready optimized rim bed provides fast tire installation, a great tire fit, and quick trouble-free tubeless setup
- The DT Swiss welding process leaves an extremely consistent and strong weld joint
- The included PHR washers and convex Squorx nipples naturally align perfectly with your chosen spokes, increasing stiffness and durability with no weight penalty over traditional eyeleted rims
- Unique process for the black coating produces a tough and durable finish
- Weight limit: 150 KG
- ERD 563 mm (27.5 inch) or 601 mm (29 inch), Weight 515 grams (27.5 inch) or 550 grams (29 inch)
- Outer width 30 mm Inner width 25 mm
