The DT Swiss 350 Classic 6 Bolt 12x157mm rear hub is a dependable choice for riders who demand maximum reliability from their downhill and enduro wheel builds. Designed around DT Swiss’ legendary Ratchet System, the 350 delivers consistent engagement, excellent durability, and straightforward maintenance for years of hard riding.
Built for Boost+ 157mm rear spacing, this hub is designed for modern downhill and gravity-focused mountain bikes that require increased axle width and wheel stiffness. The 6-bolt disc brake interface provides compatibility with standard International Standard rotors, making it a versatile option for custom DH wheel builds.
DT Swiss hubs are known for their serviceability, and the 350 is no exception. The tool-friendly design allows for easy maintenance, bearing replacement, and freehub servicing, making it a favourite among mechanics and riders who put serious mileage on their bikes.
At Fanatyk Co, we like the DT Swiss 350 Classic 12x157mm because it is a proven workhorse for downhill and bike park riding.
For riders who spend their summers smashing Whistler Bike Park laps, reliability matters. The 350 delivers the durability needed for big impacts, rough terrain, and high-frequency riding without requiring complicated maintenance.
The Ratchet System is one of the biggest reasons we recommend DT Swiss hubs. It is simple, reliable, and easy to service when the time comes. Unlike some high-engagement systems that prioritize complexity, the DT Swiss design focuses on long-term performance.
For a custom downhill wheel build, this is the type of hub we trust: dependable, serviceable, and built to handle abuse.
