The DT Swiss RW Adapt Kit 142/12 240 XD is designed to let you easily adapt your DT Swiss 240 rear hub to a 12x142 mm thru-axle standard with an XD freehub interface. This makes it ideal for riders upgrading to modern drivetrains that use SRAM XD cassettes, or for those moving a favorite wheelset onto a new frame with thru-axle dropouts. The kit typically includes the specific end caps and small hardware needed to convert the hub, ensuring a precise fit and reliable performance without the need for a completely new wheel.
By using genuine DT Swiss adaptation hardware, you help maintain the smooth running, durability, and engagement quality that the 240 hub is known for. Installation is usually straightforward for experienced home mechanics or any bike shop, and does not require permanent modifications to the hub. Whether you ride cross-country, trail, or all-mountain, this adapt kit offers a clean, cost-effective way to keep your existing wheel compatible with current frame and drivetrain standards, extending the life and versatility of your wheelset.
