DT Swiss 240 DEG Rear Hub – 12 x 148mm 6-Bolt XD Black/Red 32H 90pt. The 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. The simultaneous full engagement of the ratchets provides a larger contact patch than pawl hubs and thus a more balanced load distribution resulting in higher reliability. Two enlarged ratchets with 90 teeth offer the smallest engagement angle ever made in the DT Swiss portfolio. On the trail this transmits into a different angle in the backlash. The small idle distance at the cranks allows for more direct acceleration like out of corners as well as the possibility to adjust the pedal position faster like when overcoming obstacles on a technical uphill trail.
