DT Swiss 180 EXP Straight-Pull Centerlock Rear Hub

With the latest generation of the 180 hub, the strengths of DT Swiss' top of the line hub have been further enhanced. The latest Ratchet EXP freehub system increases the bearing lifetime thanks to the increased bearing distance which also increases stiffness by a claimed 15%. Further machining has lightened the hub even more than the previous generation. The new version of the end caps simplifies the tool-free disassembly and makes maintenance easier. The hollow-machined ratchets transfers the energy invested directly into acceleration thanks to the 36 teeth. Combined with DT Swiss' SINC ceramic bearings, these hubs deliver a new level of performance.
