    Update!!
    I've got my eyes on a bike and I got 2 questions.
    The plastic shielding the front two forks can they just be removed or do I need different forks?

    And also the wheels from the images provided would you be able to tell if the wheels could fit SM tires instead?
    Sorry for the novice questions haha I'm knew to the DT

    Thanks
    Nat

    @natnice That's a nice example.

    I ran my bike without fork gaitors with NPs. But obviously they are their a reason as @Calum stated.

    DT's in enduro form run a 21" front wheel and an 18" rear wheel. SM wheels are 17" so you would need to replace them if you wanted the SuMo look. Or you can stick with the stock wheels and just run road tyres, personally if you want the SM look I would just buy the DTX version. As that way everything is factory designed and needs no faffing about etc. Because if you want SM wheels and brakes you will need to swap the front forks, wheels, brakes from a DTX and ensure that everything lines up perfectly including the calipers, discs, sprockets and chain. Which will mean custom manufacturing some brackets and spacers to get it all to fit. So unless you are prepared to go down that road, then it's a choice of enduro or SuMo???

      Ahh right I understand sounds like a lot of faffing about indeed thanks for the info, with the enduro tires is it possible it get a thicker look then the ones he's got on currently they look a bit skinny in my opinion

        @natnice Standard size tyres are 80/90/21 front and 110/80/18 rear, You can fit 90/90/21 and 120/80/18 on the stock rims, but if you want wider tyres than that, you will have to fit wider rims first bud. 😉
