240 Rear Hub

Swiss precision engineering, machining and assembly together with clever detail solutions have made of the 240 what it is today: a legend. Featuring the latest refinements the 240 hubs are extremely lightweight and extremely durable. The Ratchet System is the best solution for a freewheel system offering low maintenance, ultimate strength and solid engagement, transferring high loads while being super light. Just what athletes want: perfect transmission of their power and the reliability allowing them to focus on the ride.

This high-precision Swiss-engineered rear hub uses a 15mm axle to maximise rear wheel stiffness. The 240s is the signature DT Swiss hub and is the gold standard for lightweight high-quality hubs. The 240s is a sealed cartridge bearing hub, performing well in wet conditions. The contact free flange seals enclose the highest quality Japanese corrosion resistant stainless steel bearings, which improves rolling efficiency and durability.

DT Swiss utilised its patented star ratchet system that is well known to guarantee high load capacity and reliability. The star ratchet system can be easily upgraded from 18 points of engagement to 36 or 54 points of engagement.
