This ultra-reliable hub, cultivated out of Swiss precision engineering, now features RATCHED EXP technology, making it one of the most sought-after hub systems on the market. Able to transfer the highest of loads, the 240 is lighter and more aerodynamic than ever and easier to maintain. With the ability to transfer the highest of pedalling loads, the 240 gives athletes reliable direct power transmission.

Ratchet Exp
DT Swiss has focused on what the riders want from their hubs by creating a system to suit the needs of any athlete. The refined endcaps, with tool-free disassembly, make maintenance easy. A single cylindrical spring ensures that a faster fuller engagement subsequently creating an increase in reliability, along with the fuller engagement of the ratchet.

Competition Spokes

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. Weight: from 311 g for 64 spokes at a length of 264 mm.

Squorx Prolock Nipples

Pro Lock is a process where a dual compound, adhesive liquid is injected into the nipple thread, allowing for extremely durable wheel builds. By threading the nipple onto the spoke the adhesive is activated and starts to harden. Re-truing the wheel is still possible after the adhesive has hardened completely, with only a minimal decrease of its thread-lock function.
