Description

The DT Swiss EX 511

The DT Swiss Ex 511 is the weapon of choice for Enduro World Series legend Richie Rude who is notoriously tough on wheels. Although 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.

At 535g and considering their aggressive purpose, these DT Swiss EX 511 rims are far from heavy. Their weight is well worth comparing too many of its carbon counterparts designed for a similar purpose when considering your next purchase. In short, this rim is designed with one thing in mind, to shred burlier terrain faster & faster.

Bottom Line:

The DT Swiss EX 511 rim captures the performance of DT Swiss’s previous successes in Enduro race-quality wheels in a 30mm-wide profile. With the ability to accept plus-sized tyres and withstand the toughest, most demanding race conditions, the EX 511 will be DTs new default rim of choice.

At approximately 45 grams heavier than the 481 with the same 30mm internal width. The new 511 was designed to better withstand the abuse of all-mountain racing. As for the difference between the EX 511 and the indestructible EX 471 enduro rim–5mm of width and about 60 grams.
