Crafted entirely in Switzerland using a unique ultrasonic peening process, these spokes are cold forged to enhance metal strength rather than weaken it, ensuring exceptional durability paired with minimal weight. Designed with a 2 mm thick end and a flattened 0.9 x 2.3 mm bladed section in the middle, they offer superior aerodynamic efficiency without compromising the integrity of your hub.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured from a custom blend of Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes boast a robust grain structure preserved through a special nipple threading technique that prevents common thread failures seen in lower-quality products. The sleek black electro-chemical finish not only adds a striking aesthetic but also provides a durable protection layer that maintains the spokes’ strength. With a total weight of just 278 g for a box of 64 spokes measuring 264 mm length and 2 mm thread, the Aero Lite spokes are the ultimate choice for high-performance wheel builds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing wheel aerodynamics with a specialized bladed spoke design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding exceptional strength and durability through ultrasonic peening\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining hub integrity by eliminating the need for slotted spoke holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring long-lasting performance with corrosion-resistant Swedish X5 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffering a lightweight solution ideal for competitive cycling and racing\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-aero wheel builds where aerodynamic advantage is not required\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications where spokes with larger diameters or different profiles are necessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReplacement spokes for hubs that require slotted holes or special spoke shapes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCasual or recreational cycling where ultra-lightweight components are unnecessary\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 laced as normal without the need for slotted spoke holes, making them compatible with most DT Swiss hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the ultrasonic peening process special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis patented process cold forges the spokes, increasing their strength and improving the strength-to-weight ratio compared to conventional butted spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510025445551,"sku":"SKAT280","price":69.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227693-11553400.jpg?v=1768524015","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-aero-lite-black-14g-2mm-bladed-spokes-280mm-box-for-wheels","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
