DT Swiss EX511 DT 350 Hybrid hand-built rear wheel

A DT Swiss EX511 rim laced 32-spoke to a DT 350 Hybrid rear hub, built by hand in our Marrickville workshop, tensioned, stress-relieved and trued before it leaves the bench. Our Pro wheel build and tubeless tape fitted are included and show as two free lines in your cart.

Before you order — what your bike decides

• Wheel size — 29" or 27.5". Read it off your tyre sidewall.
• Rear axle — Boost 12 × 148 only on this rear wheel: measure the inside of the dropouts.
• Rotor mount — Centre Lock only on this rear wheel: check your rotors.
• Cassette — the freehub body follows it: Shimano 12-speed MTB is Micro Spline, SRAM Eagle is XD, Shimano 11-speed and older (and CUES LG) is HG. Offered here: Shimano HG, Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD.

Who it is for

For e-MTB riding — the rear hub is an e-bike-duty hub. Riding without a motor? The same rim on standard hubs is lighter and cheaper: see our DT Swiss EX511 DT 350 and Hope Pro 5 kits. Sold as a rear wheel; ask us for the matching front wheel or the full set.

The rider's questions

• How much can it carry? Max system weight (rider, bike and gear) 130 kg — the DT Swiss EX511 rating, the lowest-rated part of the build.
• What tyres fit? 2.1–2.7" tyres are DT's recommended range for a 30 mm inner width; 1.85"–2.0" and 2.8" are possible. The tyre's own maximum pressure applies; the rim sets none.
• E-bike? Yes — the DT 350 Hybrid is DT's e-bike-duty hub: DT recommends the Hybrid above 55 Nm of motor torque and requires it above 100 Nm.
• How fast does the hub engage? 24 points of engagement — Ratchet System 24, 15° between clicks.
• Warranty? DT Swiss parts 24 months from purchase; our build work is guaranteed. Any claim comes back to Tune Cycles — see the Warranty tab.
• How long does it take? Built to order — we confirm the build date by email when you order.

Everything in the Rear Wheel box is built in. The rows under Upgrades are optional: tick what you want and the price updates. If you want us to lace a rim or hub you already own, that is a workshop job — contact us for a quote.

Sold separately (shown with this kit): tubeless sealant (Muc-Off No Puncture 140 ml), RT-CL700 203 mm Centre Lock rotor, a Panzer tyre insert for e-bike loads, a cassette for your freehub body, tyres to suit (sizes above). Rotors: one per wheel, to match your rotor mount and your brake caliper's size range.

How we build it

Every wheel is laced by hand in Marrickville, brought up to tension evenly to the lower of the rim and hub limits (1200 N), stress-relieved and trued, then checked again before it is packed. Tubeless tape (32 mm) is fitted to the rim; add valves and sealant and it is ready for tyres.

Tune Cycles builds and fits these wheels. If you are unsure what your frame, fork or drivetrain takes, ask us before you order.
