New DT Swiss 350 hubs get lighter, faster performance, still with Star Ratchets
DT Swiss has updated their workhorse 350 mountain bike hubs with a number of upgrades and more precise machining that make them better than ever. Keeping classic, proven Star Ratchet internals vs. the newer Ratchet EXP of their more premium 180 & 240 hubs, the new 350s still manage to shed weight while delivering faster engagement at a price level that makes them a solid option for either alloy or carbon wheel builds…
New DT Swiss 350 hubs deliver light, affordable performance
DT Swiss 350 hubs have been at the center of reliable, high-performance mountain bike wheels for more than a decade, and now get machining upgrades befitting more expensive hubs while sticking with a lighter, faster version of DT’s signature Star Ratchet inside. We actually got a sneak peek at the upgrades last summer when DT Swiss revealed their own 1700-level alloy wheelset built around the newly upgraded hubs.
Proven power transfer, plus lighter overall construction and all the options a mountain biker could hope for, the new 350 is maybe an even easier choice for anyone looking to build up a new MTB wheelset.
The new 350 hubs feature the same easy tool-free swaps from one freehub body to the next as the rest of DT’s premium hubs. That makes swapping two different cassette ranges for the same drivetrain easy without tools, or the same thing when swapping for example from Shimano to SRAM cassettes when moving one wheelset from bike-to-bike, again without tools.
