DT Swiss Hubs
We’ve been building with DT Swiss hubs for years. They’re reliable and available in a wide variety of spec options, so ideal for the heart of a custom wheelset. Whether building for road, gravel or mountain bike, DT Swiss has a hub solution.
DT Swiss 350
The DT Swiss 350 is sometimes referred to as the ‘people’s hubset’. It’s an entry level high performance hub. Get nerdy with all the specs here.
DT Swiss 240 EXP
The DT 240 EXP hubset is lighter and more expensive than the 350. Hear it purrrrr here
DT Swiss 240 DEG
The most significant change to the DT Swiss lineup - the oversized DEG ratchets provide 90 points of engagement
DT Swiss 180 EXP
The DT 180 EXP is the crown jewel of lightweight hubs, and is only available in limited straight-pull configurations.
