Experience unmatched reliability and performance with the DT Swiss Competition silver spokes, crafted with precision and expertise in Switzerland. These spokes are a testament to over 350 years of steel drawing tradition in Biel, maintaining the highest standards of quality and workmanship. Designed as a classic lightweight butted spoke, the Competition model offers a perfect balance of strength and weight, making it a trusted choice for a wide range of cyclists—from daily commuters to elite World Cup Downhill racers.
The 14 / 15 gauge double butted design features a 1.8 mm thickness in the center to reduce weight, while the 2 mm ends provide the necessary strength where it counts most. Unlike other brands that weaken spokes by stretching them, DT Swiss employs a unique ultrasonic peening process that cold-forges the metal, enhancing its strength and giving these spokes the best strength-to-weight ratio available. Made exclusively from a proprietary blend of Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes ensure durability and longevity.
Additionally, the meticulous rolling of the nipple thread preserves the grain structure of the metal, maximizing strength and significantly reducing the risk of thread failure—a common weakness in lower quality spokes. With a weight of just 311 grams for 64 spokes of 264 mm length, these spokes combine lightness with exceptional durability for superior wheel performance.
Are these spokes compatible with all wheel types?
The DT Swiss Competition spokes are designed for standard wheels and are widely compatible, but it is important to verify spoke length and gauge for your specific wheel build.
What makes DT Swiss spokes stronger than other brands?
DT Swiss uses an ultrasonic peening cold-forging process that strengthens the metal rather than weakening it during the butting process, resulting in superior strength-to-weight ratio and durability.
