The article highlights nominees for the 2025 Pinkbike Awards' Suspension Product of the Year, featuring innovative products like Öhlins' RXF36 fork, Fox 36 fork, EXT's Arma V4 shock, Fox Podium fork, and DT Swiss' suspension hub, each praised for their performance, durability, and technological advancements.
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.
DT Swiss introduces the Ratchet DEG freehub with 90-tooth steel ratchets, offering a 4-degree engagement angle, the smallest ever from the brand. This new technology promises improved reliability and load distribution, particularly beneficial for quick acceleration during technical climbs. The hubs will be available in Classic and Limited Red Editions, with pricing starting at £354.99.
