Technology
We believe in the art of engineering and strive for sophistication in the product development process. Our guiding idea is to constantly push barriers with our inhouse developed technologies.
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.
Learn how to ensure the optimal rotating property of the ball bearings and discover why DT Swiss does not offer hubs with adjustable bearing clearance.

Regular hub service is worth it! Dust and dirt cause wear parts to wear out faster, which can impair function. We recommend cleaning the hub every 12 months and lubricating it with a suitable grease. Here you can find How To videos and user manuals for hub servicing. If you need to replace a ratchet, please contact our Service Center or a dealer.
There are various reasons why the freehub may be stuck. Our technical manuals can help you find the cause:
You can also convert our Pawl hubs to the Ratchet LN System. You can buy the Ratchet LN upgrade kit from dealers. The How To video explains conversion step by step.

For MTB, boost hubs have become the new industry standard. The greater bearing distance increases the lateral stiffness of the bike and reduces ball bearing wear.
Unfortunately, you cannot convert non-boost hubs to wider distances nor boost to narrower distances (non-boost). This is because the boost hubs are wider in the center.
