Manufactured entirely in-house in Switzerland, these spokes benefit from over 350 years of expertise in steel drawing and manufacturing. The 14\/15 gauge double butted design provides an ideal balance between strength and weight, featuring a 1.8 mm thickness in the center to reduce weight, and a robust 2 mm thickness at the ends where durability is essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to DT Swiss's patented ultrasonic peening process, these spokes are cold-forged to enhance their strength rather than weakened by stretching, resulting in the best strength-to-weight ratio available on the market. Crafted exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel, custom blended specifically for DT, these spokes offer exceptional resistance to fatigue and corrosion. The rolled nipple threads further maximize longevity by preserving the metal's grain structure, reducing the risk of failure where many other spokes falter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you are a commuter or a World Cup downhill rider, the DT Swiss Competition spokes deliver consistent, reliable performance to keep your wheels true and your ride smooth.
