DT Swiss Ratchet DF Upgrade Kit for Ratchet and Ratchet LN hubs, without tool

Free your hub and slay pedal kickback, the Ratchet Degrees of Freedom kit brings DT's World cup conquering DF anti-pedal kickback tech to all DT classic star Ratchet and Ratchet LN hubs

DF technology offers additional 14 degrees of freedom, tuning the riding characteristics of your bike by allowing you to isolate your suspension from your drivetrain

The influence of the chain on the rear suspension is reduced, allowing the suspension to react freely to impacts whilst reducing drivetrain noise and helping composure in the rough

DF is also adjustable, if you move your wheels over onto a hardtail or just prefer the feel of a standard 54 Tooth hub, flip the ratchets round to set them to zero float, you have the control

Unlike other anti-kickback systems that add weight and complexity, Ratchet DF requires no more servicing than a standard hub and adds no weight over a standard ratchet system

DF has been extensively tested on the UCI Downhill and Enduro world series with undercover DEG prototypes bringing home World Championship gold and multiple World Cup wins and podiums

Installation requires a ringnut tool, once installed, changing between float settings is tool-free and can be done in seconds once the wheel is removed from the bike

Available in kits with or without the ring nut tool included, both versions included a tool for reinstalling the seal on hubs that use a hub-shell mounted seal such as the 350
