Manufactured entirely in Switzerland, these spokes are designed for riders who demand the highest quality and performance. Featuring a triple-butted design with gauges of 13 \/ 15 \/ 14, they balance weight savings and robust strength, making them ideal for challenging conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, the Alpine III spokes undergo a unique ultrasonic peening process that cold forges the metal, enhancing its strength rather than weakening it like traditional butted spokes. Their thickness varies strategically: 1.8 mm in the center for reduced weight, 2 mm at the rim end for compatibility with standard nipples, and 2.34 mm at the hub end to maximize durability where it’s needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese spokes also feature precision-rolled nipple threads, which preserve the metal’s grain structure to significantly lower the risk of thread failure—a common issue with lesser spokes. Approved for E-bike use, the Alpine III spokes are the perfect choice for extreme off-road adventures, heavily loaded touring, tandems, and E-bikes seeking reliable, long-lasting components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding exceptional strength for extreme off-road and demanding cycling conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing wheel weight without compromising durability thanks to the triple-butted design\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring long-lasting performance with the patented ultrasonic peening cold forging process\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with standard nipples due to 2 mm thickness at the rim end\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReliable use on E-bikes, tandems, and heavily laden touring bikes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCasual or low-demand cycling where high-strength spokes are unnecessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring non-stainless steel spokes for specific weight or performance preferences\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking spokes without the need for premium durability or 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 wheel sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DT Swiss Alpine III spokes come in lengths of 263 mm, suitable for many wheel builds, but it’s essential to check your specific wheel requirements before purchasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan these spokes be used on E-bikes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, these spokes are approved for E-bike use, designed to withstand the extra torque and stresses involved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024855727,"sku":"SKAP263","price":65.77,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227745-99245900.jpg?v=1768524011","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-alpine-iii-silver-triple-butted-spokes-13-15-14-gauge-263mm-box-72","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
