Crafted in Switzerland with over 350 years of steel-working heritage, these spokes combine traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology. Their aerodynamic design, featuring a unique bladed midsection, reduces drag and enhances speed, making them an essential upgrade for high-performance wheels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eManufactured exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes undergo an ultrasonic peening process that not only strengthens the metal but also ensures the best strength-to-weight ratio available in butted spokes. Unlike conventional spokes that are weakened by stretching during manufacturing, DT Swiss spokes are cold forged to maintain integrity and durability. Their black electro-chemical finish adds a sleek, durable layer without compromising strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward as the hubs can be laced normally without the need for slotting spoke holes, preserving hub integrity. The threading is rolled rather than cut, preserving the grain structure and greatly reducing the risk of thread failure common in lesser quality spokes. With a weight of 278 g for 64 spokes of 264 mm length, these 2 mm thick spokes offer an optimal balance of lightness and strength.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing aerodynamic efficiency for faster wheel performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding superior strength-to-weight ratio in high-performance cycling\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring durable and reliable spoke integrity through advanced manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with standard hub lacing without weakening the hub flange\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining long-lasting finish and corrosion resistance with electro-chemical treatment\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 wheels requiring non-standard spoke thickness or length beyond 270 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications where spoke weight is less critical than extreme flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking inexpensive, mass-produced spokes without specialized manufacturing\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 normally without requiring slotting of spoke holes, making them compatible with standard DT Swiss hubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the ultrasonic peening process beneficial?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe ultrasonic peening cold forges the spokes, strengthening the metal and improving durability compared to traditional stretching methods used by other brands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510025314479,"sku":"SKAT270","price":69.43,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227692-71527000.jpg?v=1768524016","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-aero-lite-black-14g-2mm-spokes-270mm-high-performance-wheel-components","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
