Building on a legacy that began in 1994 with the original Hügi ratchet rear hub, this model introduces the innovative Ratchet EXP system, a breakthrough in hub technology. By relocating the drive-side bearing inside the inner 36-tooth ratchet, DT Swiss has streamlined the design, reducing the number of moving parts and enhancing bearing stability. This engineering feat results in a hub that is not only up to 20% lighter than its predecessor but also stiffer and more durable over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted with meticulous attention to detail, the hub shell, axle, and end caps are extensively machined to minimize weight without compromising strength or longevity. The Ratchet EXP’s no-tool system simplifies maintenance, allowing quick and hassle-free servicing complemented by easy-to-remove, precision-machined end caps. Equipped with custom DT steel bearings, this hub promises the legendary durability and smooth operation that cyclists have come to expect from DT Swiss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCompatible with Shimano Road setups and featuring a Centre-Lock disc mount with a 142 x 12 mm axle, this 28-hole black hub is designed to integrate seamlessly into your wheel build.
