"Reserve Wheels has partnered with DT Swiss to be the only (for now) source for aftermarket wheelsets built with DT Swiss Degree of Freedom (DOF) hub internals - another big deal that follows the recent announcement of Reserve's partnership with Chris King. If you're not familiar with DOF, it is DT Swiss's answer to the pedal kickback issue that is the talk of the MTB industry right now. With DOF internals, riders can benefit from tool-free deadband tuning, enhancing suspension performance and reduced drivetrain feedback."
"What sets the Degree of Freedom apart from other kickback-mitigation devices is its simple, effective design. It's a low-maintenance system that DT Swiss developed that allows the hub's ratchets to float and rotate by 0°, 10°, or 20°, all with a quick swap of the ratchet position. With very few moving parts, it adds no extra weight to the hub. It's simple, effective, user-friendly, and will be available at no extra cost to the consumer. Seems like a win-win to me."
Reserve Wheels partnered with DT Swiss to become the exclusive source for aftermarket wheelsets built with DT Swiss Degree of Freedom (DOF) hub internals. DOF addresses pedal kickback by allowing the hub ratchets to float, providing tool-free deadband tuning that reduces drivetrain feedback and enhances suspension performance. The system offers three ratchet positions—0°, 10°, and 20°—to suit XC, trail/enduro, and downhill riding. The 0° setting provides high engagement with 90 teeth and 4° of engagement; 10° balances engagement and deadband; 20° prioritizes downhill suspension. The design is low-maintenance, lightweight, and will be offered at no extra cost.
