A DIFFERENT ANGLE
The patent pending Ratchet DEG system was designed by taking a different angle than the common high engagement freehub systems, to deliver a smaller engagement angle and maximized reliability.
Learn moreThe 350 DEG hub uses bigger bearings than the 240 DEG, taking up more space in the hub body. To accommodate their size, the bigger bearings are positioned inside the 350 hub. As the freehub bodies from the Ratchet DEG system should be compatible, we had to make up for the longer gap between the body bearing and the freehub bearing, resulting in a larger spacer.
EASIER SERVICABILITY
The innovative construction of the Ratchet DEG hub allows bearing replacement without special tools, as the threaded ring does not have to be removed.
HIGH RELIABILITY
Made of steel, the DEG ratchets are bigger than all the previous DT Swiss ratchets and aim to transmit the power of even the strongest riders for a long time and across a large contact surface.
ENGAGEMENT ANGLE
Two enlarged ratchets offer the smallest engagement angle ever made in the DT Swiss portfolio. On the trail, this transmits into a different angle in the backlash.
SPECIFIC FREEHUB
The Ratchet DEG freehub bodies have a bigger diameter at their ratchet interface to suit the size optimized DEG ratchets and are therefore compatible only with Ratchet DEG equipped hubs. The seal is located on the freehub.
