The new DT 240s hubs with Ratchet DEG engagement are here! These at first glance more massive hubs stand out with a new engagement of two free large cogs with 90 teeth, which are pressed together from each side by a spring. This is a similar engagement as the classic Ratchet (e.g. DT 350 hubs), but the cogs and springs are of a larger diameter. The main innovation and advantage is that the Ratchet DEG system, thanks to the larger diameter of the cogs, uses a different angle of engagement teeth than the classic Ratchet or Ratchet EXP engagement. All this to provide a smaller initial engagement angle and, above all, maximum reliability with regard to the size of the teeth. The new full mutual locking of the DEG cogs provides, above all, a larger contact area around the entire circumference than conventional flag hubs and thus a more balanced load distribution. This results in higher reliability and durability of the individual components. Two enlarged cogs with 90 teeth offer the smallest engagement angle ever produced by DT SWISS – an angle of only 4º. High engagement sensitivity with minimal crank drop guarantees instant engagement and acceleration, for example when exiting corners. But also the possibility of faster adjustment of the pedal position, for example when overcoming obstacles on a technical climb over rocks or large roots, when it is necessary to ease off pedaling to overcome and then immediately engage the pedals again. These rear hubs will be appreciated most by All Mountain or Enduro riders who enjoy technical climbs or technical downhill passages, when you need to react as quickly as possible and add to the pedal for acceleration. Due to the higher engagement sensitivity, it is necessary to think a little about the so-called „kick pedal effect“ on some bikes with high travel, when on a descent and with a large suspension drop, the sensitive engagement can slightly „lock“ the suspension. The hubs are available only in the classic version with a flange for bent spokes of 28 or 32 holes and only in the BOOST version with a width of 148mm or 157mm. Cassettes can be fitted from Shimano Microspline or SRAM XD.

Berd PolyLight are some of the lightest spokes on the market. They are made of an advanced polymer material that offers an unrivaled ratio of weight, strength and vibration damping. Compared to traditional steel spokes, they are up to 50% lighter, while maintaining exceptional tensile strength and high fatigue resistance. Thanks to their design, they significantly reduce the rotational weight of the wheel, which will be appreciated especially by road and MTB racers, but also by demanding hobby riders.

Berd PolyLight spokes bring increased riding comfort, because the polymer material effectively absorbs micro-vibrations from the terrain. They are resistant to corrosion and chemicals and do not require any special maintenance. Each spoke is handmade in the USA with an emphasis on precision and quality. They are compatible with most common hubs and rims and are an ideal choice for those who want to take their bike's performance to the next level.

Sapim Alu Double Square Secure Lock are top-of-the-line aluminum nipples designed for maximum spoke strength and stability. Thanks to their special double square profile design, they allow for more accurate centering and even distribution of spoke tension, which contributes to a longer wheel life.

The patented Secure Lock system prevents nipples from loosening spontaneously, helping to maintain spoke tension even under extreme loads. The low weight of the aluminum alloy contributes to the overall reduction of the bike's weight, which will be especially appreciated by racers and performance-oriented riders.

Thanks to their precise processing and high corrosion resistance, Sapim Alu Double Square Secure Lock nipples are an ideal choice for road, gravel and MTB bikes, where the emphasis is on low weight, strength and reliability of the spoke.
