DT Swiss 240 Classic Three Decades Rear Hub - Ratchet DEG | J-Bend | 6-Bolt | 12x148mm - Micro Spline | silver

Build a unique pair of wheels with the Three decades edition 240 hub and its design based on the legendary Hügi hub. This limited edition is equipped with the ultra-fast engaging Ratchet DEG system. Two enlarged ratchets with 90 teeth offer the smallest engagement angle ever made in the DT Swiss portfolio: 4º. On the trail, this transmits into a different angle in the backlash. The small idle distance at the cranks allows for more direct acceleration, like out of corners, as well as the possibility to adjust the pedal position faster, like when overcoming obstacles on a technical uphill trail.

The Ratchet DEG system and its new hub body allow the installation of size-optimized 90-tooth ratchets. 90T Ratchets Made of steel, the DEG ratchets are bigger than all the previous DT Swiss ratchets and aim to transmit the power of even the strongest riders for a long time and across a large contact surface. Easier serviceability system The innovative construction of the 240 DEG hub allows bearing replacement without special tools. Superior Reliability Ratchet System hubs are unique in that all the teeth of the two discs engage simultaneously every time. In the case of ratchet hubs, the meshing area is quite small. In the case of the Ratchet System, however, the entire face surfaces engage with each other, resulting in a much smaller point load. The result is the legendary reliability of Ratchet System hubs.
