240 DEG 12x148 32h Rear Hub - Limited Edition Red

The Ratchet DEG System has been designed to deliver a higher engagement angle while maximizing reliability. Based on DT Swiss’ classic Ratchet system, two size-optimized ratchets with 90 teeth offer the fastest engagement angle ever made in the DT Swiss portfolio. On the trail, this transmits into a different angle in the backlash. The small idle distance at the cranks allows for more direct acceleration – out of corners, for example – as well as the possibility to adjust pedal position faster, like when overcoming obstacles on a technical uphill trail. The simultaneous full engagement of the ratchets provides a larger contact patch than pawl hubs leading to a more balanced load distribution and higher reliability. Optimized hubAchieving 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 RATCHETSMade of steel
