DT SWISS rim 29" HX 491 Hybrid | E-Bike

DT Swiss has stood for innovative products of the highest quality for years. Starting as a manufacturer of high-quality spokes, the company has continuously expanded its product range. Since 2004, the Swiss have also had rims in their range, which they are constantly improving through feedback from cycling professionals and taking into account new developments in materials and manufacturing. Today, DT Swiss rims are among the most popular on the market.

If you are more likely to be out and about with your 29er E-MTB in cross country or on the trail, the HX 491 with its internal width of 25 mm is the perfect choice. It has the optimal compromise between stability, weight and inner width and also accommodates wider tires. The high-quality workmanship typical of DT Swiss and the welded rim joint guarantee you a long service life and robustness, even if you make a driving mistake. In addition, the shot-blasted surface largely keeps stone chips away, so that the rim appears like new even after many kilometers.

NOTE: The rim requires the use of the included PHR washers. DT Swiss also recommends installing Squorx Pro Head nipples, which are included in the scope of delivery. Black nipples can be ordered separately in the shop.

We would be happy to make you an offer for a complete custom wheelset with hubs and spokes of your choice. Just send us an email to [email protected] !
