"Long-Term Test: DT Swiss 240 DEG Hubs After 6 Months"

DT Swiss introduces the Ratchet DEG hub, featuring a 4° engagement angle and a burly construction aimed at increased serviceability. The hubs incur a 90g weight penalty compared to the equivalent EXP hub due to larger ratchet rings and a larger hub shell. The DEG system is currently available in 240 hubs, offering a middle ground in cost, weight, and finishing touches. The hubs are not specifically recommended for e-bikes, with DT Swiss suggesting their reinforced Hybrid hubs for eMTB usage. The limited release of candy red 240 DEGs adds an exclusive option for buyers. After 6 months of use, the DEG hubs have shown improved engagement, secure-feeling ratchet drive, and durability, making them a worthy addition to the DT Swiss lineup.
