The most successful racing MTB hub in the world; DT's legendary 240 has won more international XCO, DH and Enduro titles than any other, but even with that outstanding pedigree there's always room for more
Rapid engagement has become a desirable feature for more technically-orientated riding but fast engaging hubs suffered either from high weight, high drag, poor reliability, or all three
Going back to the drawing board, DT have completely reworked the 240 to allow the largest drive ratchets they have ever used, offering a full 90 teeth and 4 degrees of engagement whilst retaining the renowned reliability of the all-conquering EXP system
The DEG system's ratchets are twice the size of standard DT ratchets, so large in fact that the threaded ring nut no longer needs to removed for bearing replacement
The rest of the hub uses DT's well known No-Tool system making servicing simple, further aided by 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
Ratchet DEG is designed for Trail and Enduro use, for Road, Gravel and XC use, we recommend the lighter EXP system, long travel DH bikes may also benefit from using EXP to avoid any restriction of suspension movement
Weights start at just 344 grams a pair

‘We invent, develop, shape and create, every day. We aspire
to engineer leadership, every day. We strive for products that set benchmarks,
every day. We help cyclists achieve their ambitions. Every day since 1994,
engineering performance has been at the heart of everything we do.’
It all started with spokes. Formed in 1994 following a buyout from a Biel-based wire works with roots all the way back to the 15th-century, DT Swiss AG was founded by Frank Böchmann, Maurizio D’Alberto and Marco Zingg with the vision of becoming a world-renowned manufacturer of bicycle components.
Pioneers of the ratchet rear hub – which still sets the standard for engagement and performance – DT believes that wheels should be built with the entire system in mind, not just constructed from parts built by other brands. Every DT Swiss wheel is entirely made by the Swiss brand with hubs, nipples, spokes and rims all designed and built by them rather than sourced elsewhere.
In 2017 they launched the ARC road wheels, developed in conjunction with SwissSide and renowned aerodynamicist JP Ballard, and the latest generation of these wheels are currently ridden in the pro peloton by Lotto-Dstny and the likes of Caleb Ewan and Thomas De Gendt.
Today, DT Swiss is one of the biggest names in cycling and still strives to develop beautifully engineered products that break boundaries while setting the standard for quality control and reliability.
