DT Swiss Competition silver spokes are the epitome of precision and durability, crafted with expertise honed over 350 years in Biel, Switzerland. These spokes are entirely manufactured in-house, ensuring meticulous quality and exceptional workmanship. Their classic lightweight double-butted design balances strength and weight perfectly, making them a trusted choice for a wide range of cyclists—from everyday commuters to professional downhill racers.
Featuring a 14/15 gauge double-butted profile, these spokes measure 1.8 mm in the center to reduce weight while maintaining 2 mm thickness at the ends for maximum strength where it counts. Unlike other brands that weaken spokes during the butting process, DT Swiss uses a patented ultrasonic peening technique that cold forges the metal, enhancing its strength and providing the best strength-to-weight ratio available. Crafted exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes deliver long-lasting performance and resistance to the rigors of cycling.
The innovative thread rolling process ensures no metal is removed from the spoke, preserving the material’s grain structure and significantly reducing the risk of failure at the threads—an issue common with lower quality spokes. Weighing just 311 grams for 64 spokes at 264 mm length, these spokes offer an unbeatable combination of reliability and efficiency for wheel building and maintenance.
What materials are these spokes made from?
They are made exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel, custom blended for DT Swiss to ensure superior strength and durability.
How does the ultrasonic peening process benefit the spokes?
This patented process cold forges the spoke, strengthening the metal rather than weakening it during butting, resulting in the best strength-to-weight ratio among butted spokes.
