DT Swiss DF Upgrate Kit Ratched DEG90 0°/10°/20° with Tool

DT Swiss Degrees of Freedom (DF)
Extremely simple system to prevent pedal kickback
Easy to adjust, low-maintenance, and lightweight:
The new DF technology offers additional degrees of freedom*, allowing you to fine-tune your bike's characteristics in even greater detail.
The freewheel system rotates to a specific point before engaging.
This reduces the chain's impact on the rear suspension, allowing the suspension to act more freely.
With this system, you can find the perfect setup for different terrains or bikes without any tools.
And if you want to optimize your bike's kinematics, you have another degree of freedom at your disposal.
*Degrees of freedom: the number of values ​​that can vary freely in the final result of a statistical calculation.

For suspension systems that have to withstand many successive impacts without putting any tension on the chain,
an additional movement is necessary that does not affect the chain tension and quickly cancels itself out.
No additional components are needed to reset the DF system.
Only the rotation of the wheel during freewheeling and the pull from the spring pressure on the ratchet pull the DF system backward into reset or disengage mode.
As soon as the chain moves forward due to pedaling or the pull from the frame suspension,
the DF system can move forward with a certain amount of free play without any power transmission.
This minimizes pedal kickback caused by the frame suspension. At 0°, the fast-acting hub functions as usual.
After setting the desired degree of freedom and during freewheeling, the system counteracts pedal kickback.

The new DF anti-pedal kickback technology is extremely simple in design.
DF technology eliminates pedal kickback at its source: in the hub's freewheel.
This prevents unwanted chain tension during suspension compression before it reaches the crank via the chain and negatively impacts the rider.
This results in natural downhill riding characteristics with authentic feedback from the trail and bike, unaffected by unwanted chain tension.

Compatible with Ratchet DEG

The new DF technology is an extremely simplified anti-pedal kickback system.
It is available as a specific upgrade kit and can be retrofitted to all Ratchet DEG freehub systems.
It is lighter than other solutions because you only need to replace the hub's threaded ring and the two toothed discs to enjoy three different freehub rotation options: 0°, 10°, and 20°.
This item is compatible with our FR541 and FR571 wheels with a 350 DEG hub.
