Manufactured entirely in-house in Biel, these spokes combine superior quality with innovative design. Featuring a unique aero section that is 2 mm thick at the ends and flattens to a 0.9 x 2.3 mm blade in the middle, they significantly reduce aerodynamic drag, making them ideal for high-performance wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese spokes are made from a custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. Thanks to DT Swiss’s patented ultrasonic peening process, each spoke is cold forged to enhance metal strength rather than weaken it, offering an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. The black electro-chemical finish not only provides a sleek look but also maintains the spokes' integrity without compromising durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward, as the spokes can be laced normally without the need for slotting spoke holes, preserving the hub's strength. Additionally, the rolling of the nipple thread maintains the spoke’s grain structure, significantly reducing the risk of thread failure common in lower-quality spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximizing aerodynamic efficiency for high-performance cycling wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring exceptional strength and durability through advanced cold forging\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding a sleek, black finish that resists wear without weakening the spoke\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining hub integrity by allowing normal lacing without slotting\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing thread failure risks thanks to the rolling process preserving material grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in non-performance or casual cycling applications where aerodynamics are less critical\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpoke systems requiring non-standard lengths or threading incompatible with 2 mm spokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications where budget spokes with less stringent manufacturing processes are preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these spokes compatible with all DT Swiss hubs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, these spokes can be used with DT Swiss hubs without any need for slotting spoke holes, preserving hub strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the ultrasonic peening process special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike traditional stretching methods, ultrasonic peening cold forges the metal, strengthening the spoke and improving the strength-to-weight ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510025511087,"sku":"SKAT298","price":69.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227696-39443400.jpg?v=1768524011","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-aero-lite-black-14g-2mm-aero-spokes-298mm-box-of-20","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
