The DT Swiss HX 581 is a heavy-duty welded aluminium rim with a wide 35 mm internal bed, purpose-built for e-MTB use with plus-size tyres where stability and durability matter most.

Highlights

  • 27.5 inch (650B) diameter, drilled 28 holes
  • 35 mm internal width, ideal for tyres over 2.4 inches
  • Welded rim joint for a smooth, consistent tyre bed
  • Tubeless ready with a hooked bead
  • ASTM category 4, e-bike approved, 150 kg maximum system weight

Built for e-MTB

The HX 581 is approved for e-bikes up to a maximum 32 km/h or 250 W and carries a 150 kg maximum system weight under ASTM category 4. Its robust welded construction is made to take the extra power and torque of an e-MTB drivetrain over rough, demanding terrain.

Compatibility & fit

This is a disc-specific rim with no brake track, so it suits disc-brake wheels only. The wide 35 mm internal width is the ideal partner for plus-size tyres over 2.4 inches. It uses non-eyelet PHR spoke seats and a Presta valve hole, and is tubeless ready once set up with tape and a valve.

DT Swiss covers this rim with a 24-month warranty against material and manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Normal wear items, including tubeless tape, are not covered. The DT Swiss crash-replacement (Fair Share) programme applies to carbon rims only and does not apply to this aluminium rim.

For any warranty support, please return the item to Tune Cycles and our team will handle the claim on your behalf.
