These hubs are limited to 1000 pieces, utilize the Ratchet EXP freehub system, come in Shimano Micro Spline or SRAM XD, IS 6-bolt, and retail for:
Front: 159.90 € / 235.90 $
Rear: 323.90 € / 476.90 $

People balked at the price of the DT Swiss carbon D 232 dropper and well, we called it. The tech of the D 232 is now available as an alloy option. At 416g, compared to the D 232 One with a 369g claimed weight and a $566 price tag, the D 232 is the alloy alternative with a more affordable pricepoint of $369.
While marketed towards XC racing, these inverted droppers look to be a great option for those tired of hassling with saddle packs and dropper posts since the stanchion is inverted. DT Swiss calls this “Upside Drop”. To top it off, the D 232 is fully mechanical and offers 60mm of travel, which would be perfect for a loaded bike, across all size runs. Intrigued? Yes.

Everyone’s favorite hub, the 240, just got a refresh from the engineers and designers at DT Swiss. The old 240 hubs were so iconic, I can’t wait to see what the next generation looks, feels, and sounds like. Check out this video showcasing the new design and see more at DT Swiss.
… on this new Bedovelo, Swiss-made track frame. See more of these hubs on that bike at Bedovelo and someone tell DT Swiss they’re doing it right!
