DT Swiss Competition silver spokes combine centuries of Swiss craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology to deliver exceptional performance and durability. Manufactured entirely in-house in Biel, these spokes meet the highest standards of quality, ensuring reliability for every type of rider. The double butted design, measuring 14 / 15 gauge (2 / 1.8 mm), offers a perfect balance of strength and lightweight efficiency, making them ideal for all-round use from daily commuting to professional downhill racing.
What truly sets these spokes apart is DT Swiss’s patented ultrasonic peening process. Unlike traditional methods that weaken the metal by stretching, this cold forging technique actually strengthens the spoke, offering the best strength-to-weight ratio available. Crafted from a specially blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes resist wear and fatigue, while the rolled nipple threads preserve the material’s grain, greatly reducing the risk of thread failure common in lesser quality spokes.
Designed for riders who demand reliability and top-tier performance, DT Swiss Competition spokes are a dependable choice that enhances wheel stiffness and longevity without adding unnecessary weight. Whether upgrading your wheels or replacing worn spokes, these components provide peace of mind and superior build quality.
What does double butted mean in these spokes?
Double butted spokes have a thinner middle section (1.8 mm) to reduce weight while maintaining thicker ends (2 mm) for strength where the spoke connects to the hub and rim.
How does ultrasonic peening improve spoke strength?
This patented cold forging process strengthens the metal by compressing its surface, resulting in a higher strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional spokes that are stretched and weakened.
