DT Swiss 3-Pawl Freehub Body

This freehub body is specifically designed for DT Swiss hubs that utilize the 3-pawl engagement system. It is compatible with 12x142mm and 12x148mm thru-axle standards, but you should verify your specific hub model uses the 3-pawl design rather than the Ratchet System before purchasing.

Swapping a DT Swiss 3-pawl freehub is typically a tool-free process. You generally just need to pull off the existing end cap and freehub body, then slide the new one on, ensuring the pawls are properly seated.
