The new DF technology is an anti-pedal kickback device simplified to the max. The DF technology releases the pedal kickback at the point where it occurs: in the freehub.
Ratchet EXP is the lightest freehub system from DT Swiss. The fusion of the ratchet and the threaded ring in the Ratchet EXP hub increases durability while decreasing weight.
The Ratchet System is the first of this type of freehub system for DT Swiss. This patented freewheel system, which features high-precision star ratchets, guarantees top performance and reliability.
These ball bearings were developed by DT Swiss in order to reduce the rolling resistance to an absolute minimum. The balls are made from an extremely tough, wear- and corrosion-resistant ceramic material.
The interface between spoke and nipple is highly important for the durability of a wheel. DT Swiss continuously improves and fine-tunes the DT Swiss nipple range in line with the different requirements.
The PHR system increases the load-bearing surface of the nipples on the rim and reduces localized stresses. Peak loads are reduced allowing to build the rim even lighter.
