DT Swiss 180 EXP

The straight-pull design eliminates the J-bend, which is often a stress point in traditional spokes. This results in increased lateral stiffness and improved durability, helping your wheel maintain its true shape under hard cornering and acceleration.

No, this specific model is configured for SRAM XDR and Campagnolo cassettes. If you are running a Shimano drivetrain, you will need to purchase a separate Shimano-compatible freehub body to swap onto the hub.

The EXP system uses a single spring and a simplified internal architecture that reduces weight and friction. This design provides more consistent, reliable engagement and makes the hub easier to service without specialized tools.

No, this hub is designed exclusively for 142mm thru-axle frames. It will not fit frames that use standard quick-release dropouts.

This hub features a Center Lock interface, which is designed for Center Lock rotors. If you want to use 6-bolt rotors, you will need to install a Center Lock-to-6-bolt adapter.

The sealed cartridge bearings are designed to be low-maintenance and resistant to the elements. While they don't require frequent adjustment, you should inspect them periodically for play or roughness, especially if you ride frequently in wet or muddy conditions.
