The wheelset is equipped with DT Swiss 350 hubs. This is a synonym of durability and failure-free operation. The front hub has two machine bearings. The rear hub is equipped with four machine bearings and a ratchet system ( 18t ) that guarantees excellent freewheel operations. Servicing the rear hub is very simple. Service of rear hub does not require any tools.

The EX 511 captures the performance of DT Swiss's prior successes and applies them to Enduro race quality rims. Weighing 45 grams more than the XM 481 with the same 30mm internal width, the new EX 511 was designed to hold up to the abuse of all-mountain/Enduro racing. The EX 511 can accept plus width tires as well as standard higher volume widths.

The connecting elements between hubs and rims are spokes and nipples.

This is one of the most versatile spokes in the DT Swiss spoke range. DT Competition gets its special strength from cold forging. This makes it not only extremely durable but thanks to the thinner middle section, it is 48 g lighter than a spoke with a constant diameter of 1.8 mm. The balanced relation between strength and weight of its 2.0 mm counterpart allows for a wide range of uses, from road wheels to super-light Enduro MTB wheels.

Sapim's anodized Polyax nipples are treated with a special coating to increase durability and allow for easier wheel building. Aluminium saves weight,compared to other materials like brass. Sapim's patented Secure Lock technology is a locking mechanism that prevents nipples from untightening. The advantages of this easy locking system are the possibility to use them on a truing machine and that there is no loose function while truing the wheel. Highly precise and accurate machines have specifically been developed to produce this type of locking system. They ensure stable and well defined deformation on the thread and increase the nipple's torsion about 18 cNm (+/- 3 cNm).
