DT Swiss promises a whole new riding experience

DT Swiss Degrees of Freedom

Solutions to minimize pedal kickback are popular and usually mounted on the crank. DT Swiss turns the tables and launches a hub that integrates freedom of movement into the freewheel. The highlight: the system can be retrofitted to newer hubs.

The new DF technology against pedal kickback from DT Swiss has a simple design: It can also be retrofitted to all Ratchet DEG freehub systems and is lighter than other solutions. Simply replace the threaded ring on the freehub and the two ratchets and you have three different degrees of freedom: 0°, 10° and 20°.

The new DF technology is also available for e-mountain bikes. Due to the higher torques in this application area, the degree of movement of the freewheel system is 0º or 10º. The technology is available as a hybrid upgrade kit for Ratchet DEG hubs with 60-tooth pulleys.
