DT Swiss 180 Straightpull Ceramic Front Hub – Centerlock – 12x100mm Road – Black

Lighter, stiffer, more precise, and easier to maintain – the DT Swiss 180 front hub has been further enhanced with innovative RATCHET EXP technology. This ultra-reliable freehub system ensures direct power transfer without energy loss. The SINC Ceramic bearings minimize rolling resistance, providing a noticeable boost in efficiency and speed.

Features:

• Axle system: 12 mm thru-axle
• Hub spacing: 100 mm Boost
• Brake interface: Centerlock disc
• Freehub system: Ratchet EXP
• Spokeholes: 24H

Benefits:

✔ Easy maintenance – The tool-free design allows quick and effortless removal of the end caps. The newly designed notch in the end caps simplifies disassembly, making maintenance even easier.

✔ Freehub body conversion – The no-tool system enables seamless, tool-free conversion to different axle and freehub body standards. All DT Swiss Ratchet System hubs are compatible with conversion kits.

✔ Reduced weight – The integrated ratchet and threaded ring reduce the number of components, using just a single spring, resulting in lower weight and increased durability.

✔ Higher precision – The fixed connection between the inner ratchet and the hub shell ensures perfect alignment, allowing for faster and more reliable engagement of the freehub system.

✔ Exceptional reliability – Unlike traditional pawl hubs, where only small contact points engage, the Ratchet Systemensures that all teeth mesh simultaneously. This distributes the load evenly, reducing stress points and increasing longevity.

✔ Increased stiffness – The optimized bearing spacing improves hub stiffness by 15%, enhancing power transfer and overall performance.
