- DT Swiss 240 DEG rear hub — 90T dual ratchet, 4° engagement, 6-bolt

- Freehub: Microspline, SRAM XD or Shimano HG (specify on order)
The EX511 rim has been shaped by EWS competition — its 30mm inner width and robust welded construction handles the hardest enduro and freeride riding while keeping weight in check for long climbs. Paired front and rear, it provides consistent tyre support and predictable handling.
The DEG system in the rear hub uses two enlarged 90-tooth ratchet rings that engage simultaneously across a larger contact patch than pawl designs. The result is a 4° backlash — exceptional for a hub at this price point — and a load distribution that vastly reduces wear on the drive faces. The hub is fully user-serviceable and accepts interchangeable freehub bodies and end caps to cover multiple axle standards, future-proofing your investment.
- DT Swiss EX511 rims — 30mm inner width, race-proven in EWS competition, handles terrain from enduro to freeride
- DT Swiss 240 DEG rear hub with 90-tooth dual ratchet delivers 4° engagement — one of the fastest pick-ups in the DT Swiss range
- Full simultaneous ratchet engagement distributes load more evenly than pawl systems for greater reliability under hard acceleration
- Rear hub available in Boost (148mm), DH (150mm) or Super Boost (157mm) axle spacing
- Freehub choice of Microspline, SRAM XD or Shimano HG for drivetrain flexibility
- 32H lacing with DT Competition black spokes and Squorx Pro Lock brass nipples
