The number you can rely on!

Swiss precision, from precise machining to perfect assembly, combined with intelligent detailed solutions have made the 240 hubs what they are today - a legend. DT Swiss believes in the art of engineering and strives for perfection in the development of new products. The guiding principle is to push the technological boundaries further and further.

The DT Swiss 240 is the top hub for extremely light wheels. The aluminum hubs are assembled by hand at DT Swiss, so they are 100% Swiss Made. The advantages of the 240 are its low weight, the sealing system against water and dirt, as well as the rust-free ball bearings with a special coating for silky smooth running and minimal resistance.

Technologies

A Different Angle

The patent-pending Ratchet DEG® system is based on a different approach to conventional freewheel systems. It works with a smaller pressure angle and therefore offers the greatest possible reliability.

Bearings

DT Swiss hubs are designed to function optimally as soon as they are installed in a bicycle. To achieve this, the clamping force generated by the wheel mounting system must be taken into account when designing the hub. Find out how the optimal rotational characteristics of the ball bearings are ensured and why DT Swiss does not offer hubs with adjustable bearing play.
