DT SWISS 240 Disc CL BOOST front hub

The latest 240 Hybrid hub incorporates special components like the DT Swiss Ratchet EXP® OS system with 30 teeth to ensure reliable power transmission from both the rider and the motor to the ground. The drive side bearing is bigger and the hub flange is enlarged. The spoke holes are expanded, purpose-built for 2.34 mm DT Swiss spokes, which deliver enhanced resistance to acceleration and braking torques. Crafted from hardened steel, the freehub system further reinforces the hub´s resilience, allowing for extended and trouble-free eMTB rides. Features: Center Lock: - Center Lock refers to a system for brake discs that was developed by Shimano. The brake disc is mounted on the hub by means of an external spline and screwing on a lock ring. The advantage of the Center Lock system is that the brake discs are centered and mounting requires only screwing down a single lock ring. Thru-axle: - Thru-axle refers to a wheel mounting system. RWS technology from DT Swiss allows quick, precise mounting simply by turning an easily adjustable lever. Thru-axle systems guarantee a rigid and secure connection between the wheel and the frame. Thru-axles must be compatible with the frame and fork because the built-in-width, diameter and thread of the axle vary and are defined by the frame and fork manufacturer. Boost: - Boost refers to wider axle dimensions. Frame and fork manufacturers use this to build a stiffer bike overall. A flatter spoke angle on the wheel can be created by increasing the flange distance, which improves the symmetry and increases the stiffness, especially on large wheels. Specifications: - Net Weight: 159 g - Field Of Application: Hybrid MTB - Material: Aluminum - Axle System: 15 mm - Built-In Dimension: 110 mm - Number Of Holes: 32 Technology: The Ratchet: - Each Ratchet System has its special characteristics, but they all provide the iconic reliability. This is a result of the simultaneous engagement of the teeth, creating far fewer point loads. Discover how the constructions differ and which common features they share. Bearing: - DT Swiss hubs are designed to function optimally once installed in a bicycle. To achieve this, the clamping force created by the wheel mounting system must be taken into account when constructing a hub. 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. Engagement Angle: - A hotly discussed topic in the market right now - engagement angle! What is the engagement angle, how does this angle affect riding performance and is the conventional wisdom ´´the more the better´´
