DT Swiss 180 EXP Rear Hub

The Ratchet EXP system simplifies the hub internals by integrating the bearing into the threaded ring, which reduces weight and increases stiffness. This design also improves reliability and allows for easier maintenance compared to traditional pawl-based systems.

No, this specific model is engineered exclusively for rim brake setups. It is not compatible with disc brake rotors.

Ceramic bearings are harder and smoother than standard steel bearings, which significantly reduces rolling resistance. You will notice a more efficient, effortless spin, particularly when maintaining speed on flat or rolling terrain.

Yes, this hub is designed for straight-pull spokes. This configuration is intended to improve wheel stiffness and durability by eliminating the weak point often found at the bend of traditional J-bend spokes.

No, this hub uses a standard quick-release axle system with 130mm rear spacing. It is designed for traditional road frames and is not compatible with thru-axle or Boost spacing standards.

The HG 11 freehub body is compatible with standard Shimano and SRAM 11-speed road cassettes. If you are using a 10-speed cassette, you will need a spacer to ensure a secure fit.
