Product Description
DT Swiss Ratchet DEG DF Anti-Pedal Kickback Upgrade Kit An anti-pedal kickback system simplified to the max. Pedal kickback is a byproduct of suspension design - as the rear suspension compresses, the chain pulls the cranks backward through the drivetrain. DT Swiss DF Technology addresses this where it actually happens: at the freehub. By replacing the threaded ring and both ratchets in any compatible Ratchet DEG freehub, the DF kit adds three selectable degrees of hub free rotation - 0deg, 10deg, or 20deg - to absorb pedal kickback before it ever reaches your cranks. The result is more natural trail feedback, better suspension performance, and a drivetrain that stays out of your way when the terrain gets rough. Retrofittable to all DT Swiss Ratchet DEG freehub systems. Available with or without an installation tool. Features Eliminates pedal kickback at the source by releasing unwanted chain pull inside the freehub before it transfers through the chain to the cranks, preserving natural suspension movement and trail feedback Three selectable degrees of freehub rotation: 0deg, 10deg, and 20deg - dial in the setting that matches your riding discipline and frame kinematics0deg setting maintains standard Ratchet DEG engagement characteristics for XC riding, where fast freehub engagement takes priority over kickback reduction10deg setting reduces pedal kickback noticeably for all-mountain riding, where kickback starts to impact suspension performance and rider feel20deg setting provides maximum kickback reduction for enduro and downhill riding, where kickback has the greatest negative effect on suspension behavior and rider control Simple installation requires only replacing the freehub's threaded ring and two ratchets - no hub disassembly beyond standard service Retrofittable to all DT Swiss Ratchet DEG freehub systems including the 240 and 350 hub families and compatible complete wheelsets Available with or without an installation tool for riders who already have the tooling on hand SPECIFICATIONSCompatible Freehub System DT Swiss Ratchet DEG (all models)Degrees of Freedom0deg, 10deg, 20deg (selectable)Kit Contents Threaded ring and two ratchets (installation tool optional)Available Versions With installation tool, without installation tool Intended Use All-Mountain, Enduro, Downhill | Dt Swiss | Ratchet Deg Df Anti-Pedal Kickback Upgrade Kit 90T, Without Tool
