These new DT Swiss 350 Road hubs get all the same lighter, faster Star Ratchet upgrades of their MTB kin, just now with more fit options...
already had the new centerlock hubs even 9 months earlier. At the time they were only offered MTB standard sizes, so while you could get a centerlock & 6-bolt hubset for classic mountain bikes, modern Boost mountain bikes, or even fat bikes… if you had a rim brake bike, or just needed a 12mm thru-axle front hub… you were out of luck.Just like on the trail, DT Swiss 350 Road hubs are their everyday workhorse on road, gravel & cyclocross, too.
Starting off, they do get a bit more extensive machining than the old 350s, in order to shed a couple grams. In fact, the DT weight claim on the new 350 Road Classic hubset starts at 383g, making them lighter than the old pre-EXP 240 Classic hubset which started at 401g. Our 350 Road Classic Centerlock hubset weighs an actual combined 400g with a Shimano freehub & 12mm thru-axles .internals, the 350s stay with tried-and-true Star Ratchets, but do get faster engagement with DT’s lightweight machined-out 36T SL steel ratchet rings inside.
The new 350 Road hubs also 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.
