So I've been given a DT Swiss rear hub and I'm trying to find out what model and spec it is
It's an older model with two ratchet rings and no DT Swiss I.D so that rules out it being a 370, I think its a 350 but I want to know the full spec
I've checked on DT's website and entered the part number on the hub P1698062YL but that doesn't bring anything up

It's probably OEM. If you can weigh it, that might give you a good idea as to what "level" it's at.Â
It weighs in at 255 grams
It's a 350 from a spline wheelset. Not super old but not the current version (colour change and more teeth on the ratchets I think on the current one). If you look on the DT swiss spoke calc they list the measurements for the straight pull hubs (click the (I) button and it shows you how that measurement is taken. You can confirm which one to use for calcs that way. You can also email dt support and they will tell you what it is.
Weird stuff like this tended to be a funky shell but completely standard 240/350 inside. DT used to do absolutely loads of different hub shells for things like this and OEMs like Roval but I never saw one that didn't just take the completely normal axle, freehub etc. The fronts were a nightmare though.
Shell aside the only difference between 240 and 350 was the bearings and, sometimes, the exact ratchets (ie number of teeth) which is all interchangable/replacable anyway. So looking for a direct equivalence between different models is probably going to be a bit pointless.Â
As others have said, looks like an OEM 350 that would have come on a complete 1700 wheelset
looks just like the 350 hub on my ex1700 wheelset
