Crafted in Switzerland with over 350 years of steel drawing expertise, these spokes combine tradition with innovation. Their double-butted design (14\/15 gauge) offers a perfect balance: 1.8 mm thickness in the center to reduce weight and 2 mm at the ends for enhanced strength. This makes them an ideal choice for a wide range of riders, from casual commuters to professional downhill racers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing a unique ultrasonic peening process, DT Swiss cold forges each spoke, strengthening the metal rather than weakening it as conventional methods do. Made exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes provide exceptional durability and resistance to fatigue. The precision-rolled nipple threads preserve the spoke’s grain structure, minimizing failure risk—a common problem with lesser quality spokes. With a weight of just 311 grams (for 64 spokes of 264 mm length), these spokes deliver an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio that keeps your wheels both light and tough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReliable performance across all cycling disciplines, from commuting to competitive racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight construction that doesn’t sacrifice durability or strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhanced strength thanks to ultrasonic peening, improving spoke longevity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with various wheel sizes due to different spoke lengths available\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced risk of nipple thread failure thanks to precision rolling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpoke setups requiring non-standard materials or custom blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications where ultra-lightweight carbon or titanium spokes are preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders looking for colored or anodized spoke options\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWheels that require spokes thinner than 1.8 mm in the center section\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 types?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are designed for most standard wheels and come in various lengths to fit different rims, but always check your rim and hub specifications before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes ultrasonic peening better than traditional spoke manufacturing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUltrasonic peening cold forges the spoke, increasing its strength and fatigue resistance rather than weakening it, which is common with conventional butting methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024691887,"sku":"SK303D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227676-27127400.jpg?v=1768524015","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-double-butted-spokes-14-15g-2-1-8mm-303mm-box-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
