DT Swiss 240 Classic

Swiss precision, from high-precision machining to perfect assembly, combined with intelligent detail solutions, has made the 240 hub what it is today: a legend. The strengths of the new 240 hub have been further developed with the new Ratchet EXP technology. The super reliable freewheel system ensures direct power transfer without losses. Exactly what athletes need: perfect transfer of their power and absolute reliability, allowing them to focus solely on cycling.

The patented freewheel system with high-precision ratchet discs guarantees maximum load capacity and reliability. Thanks to the no-tool concept, the system is very easy and quick to maintain.

The engagement angle refers to the angle in degrees that a hub freewheel rotates in idle before it can convert the crank's rotational movement into forward motion. The smaller the angle, the faster the leg power reaches the ground. However, it is important to know that there are limits to the minimum possible angle, as the reliability of the freewheel system also partially depends on the angle.

What truly makes Ratchet System hubs unique is the fact that all teeth of the two discs engage simultaneously every time. In contrast, only some pawls engage at the same time in pawl hubs. Additionally, the contact surface in pawl hubs is quite small, while in the Ratchet System, the entire end faces engage, resulting in much lower point loading. This leads to the legendary reliability of the Ratchet System hubs and the distinctive sound produced when the ratchet discs rotate against each other.
