Crafted in Switzerland with over 350 years of steel-drawing expertise, these spokes combine tradition with cutting-edge technology. Their aerodynamic design, featuring a 2 mm thick end tapering to a sleek .9 x 2.3 mm bladed middle section, reduces drag for maximum speed without compromising strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDT Swiss employs a unique ultrasonic peening process that cold forges the spokes, enhancing their strength rather than weakening them like traditional stretching methods. Made exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes offer superior durability and resilience. The electro-chemical black finish ensures long-lasting protection without sacrificing performance, while the rolled nipple threads preserve material integrity to prevent common failures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward with no need for slotting hub holes, maintaining the hub flange’s structural integrity. With a weight of just 14 g per spoke, these components deliver an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, perfect for riders seeking the highest performance in cycling components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOptimizing wheel aerodynamics for enhanced speed and efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding exceptional strength and durability through advanced forging techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring reliable and long-lasting performance with premium Swedish X5 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining hub integrity by eliminating the need for slotting spoke holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffering a sleek black finish that resists wear and corrosion\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 with hubs requiring slotted spoke holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications where ultra-heavy-duty spokes are necessary beyond high-performance cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders who prefer non-aerodynamic or traditional round spokes\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 are designed to fit standard DT Swiss hubs without the need for modifying spoke holes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the ultrasonic peening process benefit the spokes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis process cold forges the spoke, strengthening the metal and delivering the best strength-to-weight ratio among butted spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024888495,"sku":"SKAT254","price":69.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227689-37735700.jpg?v=1768524012","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-aero-lite-black-14g-2mm-aerodynamic-spokes-254mm-box-of-20","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
