Hubs - DT Swiss 350 DEG

DT's workhorse 350 get an high-engagement upgrade with the addition of DEG technology for technical MTB usage

• Based heavily on the 240 DEG, the 350 has a less-machined hub shell and axle, saving considerable CNC time at the cost of a slightly higher weight
• Rapid engagement has become a desirable feature for more technically-orientated riding but many fast-engaging hubs suffered either from high weight, high drag, poor reliability, or all three
• Going back to the drawing board, DT have completely reworked their ratchet system to allow the largest drive ratchets they have ever used, The 350 version offers 72 teeth and 5 degrees of engagement whilst retaining the bombproof reliability of the renowned DT rachet system
• DT are the original ratchet hub innovators, with over 25 years of development and refinement behind it no other manufacturer has matched DT's system for ease of service. reliability and durability
• Tool-free servicing concept make maintenance quick and simple, even mid-ride in a pinch
• The same quad bearing system as used in the 240, with custom DT steel bearings and improved contact-free double flange sealing giving added durability and performance
