Hybrid Utility - Built to last The latest developments in electric motors and pedelec concepts have made it possible to carry even heavier loads and cover longer distances, often on uneven roads. However, this leads to greater stress and strain on the wheels and their components.
Hybrid Utility wheels from DT Swiss were developed and tested specifically for these increased physical loads. With an approved maximum system weight of 180 kg, these wheels offer the user lasting reliability and long-lasting confidence.

THE SAME, BUT DIFFERENT Inside, the Ratchet LN uses the same mechanism as the well-known Ratchet system. The difference in the systems is in the placement of the seal. To ensure the convertibility of ratchet hubs, the seal had to be attached to the freehub housing of the Ratchet LN hubs. On hubs with the classic Ratchet system or Ratchet EXP, the seal is on the hub body.
WHY RATCHET? Ratchet System hubs are unique in that all the teeth of the two discs engage simultaneously each time. In the case of ratchet hubs, the engagement area is quite small. In the case of the Ratchet System, however, the entire face surfaces engage with each other, resulting in a much smaller point load. The result is the legendary reliability of Ratchet System hubs.
