Description

• In 1994 DT Swiss launched the original Hgi ratchet rear hub; a marvel of Swiss precision engineering that set new standards for reliability and quality in the industry
• DT’s twin-ratchet 240 is now an established gold standard for lightweight and reliable rear hubs but time doesn’t stand still and with 25 years of research; development and production experience behind them; it was time for DT Swiss’s engineers to look again at the technology DT pioneered so many years ago
• The result is the new generation of 240 hubs with Ratchet EXP; an even more refined and evolved ratchet system; by moving the drive-side hub bearing inside the inner 36 tooth ratchet itself; DT have decreased the number of moving parts whilst giving the bearings a wider stance
• The result is a hub that is even more reliable and up to 20% lighter than the previous generation 240 and stiffer to boot with improved bearing alignment and long term durability; truly the finest hubs DT have ever made
• The extensively machined hub shell; axle and end caps contribute to make these the lightest 240 hubs yet with no reduction in performance or long term durability
• As with previous generations; the Ratchet EXP system is designed around a No-Tool system making servicing simple; further aided by new easy to remove; machined end caps
• Custom made DT steel bearings offer the same near legendary long term durability and ease of replacement that the 240 has always been known for
• Weights start at just 294 grams a pair
