All bearings are from world renowned manufacturers to ensure the highest quality. Also every hub shell and axle are produced in their Barnoldswick factory and checked and inspected to the highest degree.
The hub shell is CNC machined in Barnoldswick, England from a single forged billet of 2014-T6 aluminium and uses a 7075 aluminium cassette body. Both these are now machined to allow fitting of the new generation of 11 speed cassettes from Shimano, but still allow for use of 9 and 10 speed Shimano and Sram cassettes by means of a removable spacer. Hubs are also available to suit Campagnolo 9, 10 and 11 speed cassettes. The hub is also fitted with our new 40 tooth ratchet with 4 pawl engagement, giving a quick, dependable drive.
Built around the traverses of the Enduro World Series our Vortex wheels redefine what Enduro wheels are.With a generous 33mm internal width Vortex wheels increase tyre volume and maximise the available grip on offer. Using an asymmetric design we have equalised spoke tensions and built a package that leaves descents in its wake, whilst cutting down weight where it isn’t needed for energy sapping climbs. To compensate for the differences in wall length and strength of an asymmetric design, the wall thicknesses have been proportioned to balance out impact forces equally. The Vortex offers offset wheel benefits, without compromise.At the core of our Vortex wheels are our all new instantaneous 120 point pick up, MTC Supadrive Boost and MTC Front Boost hubs, with center lock disc mounts, sealed bearings and super wide spaced flanges for increased stiffness and durability.100% hand built and pre fitted with tubeless tape, Vortex wheels are tubeless ready from the box.

Whilst DT's legendary superlight 240 hub gets all the glory, out there winning everything from Grand Tours to DH World Championships, no other hub powers as many rides as DT's value work horse the 350.Based heavily on the 240, the 350 has a less-machined hub shell and axle, saving considerable CNC time at the cost of a slightly higher weight,As a major upgrade, the latest 350 rear hubs now feature the 36-tooth SL ratchets, greatly speeding up engagement and reducing the weight of the rear hub,DT are the original ratchet hub innovators, with over 25 years of development and refinement behind it no other manufacturer has matched DT's system for ease of service. reliability and durability,Tool-free servicing concept make maintenance quick and simple, even mid-ride in a pinch,The same quad bearing system as used in the 240, with custom DT steel bearings and improved contact-free double flange sealing giving added durability and performance,This all comes together to make the 350 an exceptional performer at its price point; tough. light, fully rebuildable and renowned for its long term reliability, the 350 is the natural choice for almost any build.
In 1994 DT Swiss launched the original Hügi ratchet rear hub, a marvel of Swiss precision engineering that set new standards for reliability and quality in the industryDT's twin-ratchet 240 is now an established gold standard for lightweight and reliable rear hubs but time doesn't stand still and with 25 years of research, development and production experience behind them, it was time for DT Swiss's engineers to look again at the technology DT pioneered so many years agoThe result is the new generation of 240 hubs with Ratchet EXP, an even more refined and evolved ratchet system, by moving the drive-side hub bearing inside the inner 36 tooth ratchet itself, DT have decreased the number of moving parts whilst giving the bearings a wider stance,The result is a hub that is even more reliable and up to 20% lighter than the previous generation 240 and stiffer to boot with improved bearing alignment and long term durability, truly the finest hubs DT have ever made,The extensively machined hub shell, axle and end caps contribute to make these the lightest 240 hubs yet with no reduction in performance or long term durability,As with previous generations, the Ratchet EXP system is designed around a No-Tool system making servicing simple, further aided by new easy to remove, machined end caps,Custom made DT steel bearings offer the same near legendary long term durability and ease of replacement that the 240 has always been known for,Weights start at just 294 grams a pair.
