The 240 is designed for riders with the most extreme ambitions. You have
the choice whether you want to count on the 240 with a weight advantage
from the DT Swiss Ratchet EXP system or with the small engagement angle
of the patent pending DT Swiss Ratchet DEG. The EXP system offers fewer
parts and is available in 36 and 54 teeth. Ratchet DEG offers 90 teeth,
but also ensures the well-known reliability thanks to its larger design.

Regular hub service is worth it! Dust and dirt cause wear parts to wear out faster, which can impair function. We recommend cleaning the hub every 12 months and lubricating it with a suitable grease. Here you can find How To videos and user manuals for hub servicing. If you need to replace a ratchet, please contact our Service Center or a dealer.
«Countless other small details, rarely seen by the user, were employed to make the 240 hubs a go-to for anyone after low weight, high performance and outstanding reliability.»

Some decals at Les Gets were brighter than others. We love the "World Champion" version, where the gold went all the way to the hub decoration. The second & third photos are of @valihoell’s @trekbikes Session, 2022 World Championship edition!

We believe that during the development of an optimal freehub system, three factors need to be considered: reliability, weight and points of engagement. This last part is determined by the number of teeth on the ratchets, which can be switched out according to your preferences.
