The DT Swiss 180 is their lightest hub — built for riders who obsess over grams and watts. Our ceramic bearing kit takes it further. Grade 3 silicon nitride balls with DLC-coated races reduce friction beyond what the factory steel bearings can achieve. The result: a hub that spins longer, engages smoother, and lasts seasons instead of months. Every bearing in the 180 platform is replaced — front and rear.
