DT Swiss 240 DEG 32H MTB Hub

The 240 DEG is designed for riders with the most extreme ambitions. With the small engagement angle of the patent pending DT Swiss Ratchet DEG. The EXP system offers fewer parts and is available in 36 and 54 teeth. Ratchet DEG offers 90 teeth, but also ensures the well-known reliability thanks to its larger design.

A DIFFERENT ANGLE

The new 240 with Ratchet DEG

The patent pending Ratchet DEG System was designed by taking a different angle than the common high engagement freehub systems, to deliver a smaller engagement angle and maximized reliability. The simultaneous full engagement of the ratchets provides a larger contact patch than pawl hubs and thus a more balanced load distribution, resulting in higher reliability.

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.

OPTIMIZED HUB

Achieving a different engagement angle from what DT Swiss has done to date required a major adaptation to the drive side of the hub. 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.
