Manufactured entirely in-house in Biel, Switzerland, these spokes benefit from over 350 years of steel drawing expertise. Their unique double-butted design combines a 1.8 mm center for weight savings with a robust 2 mm thickness at the ends, ensuring durability where it matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets these spokes apart is DT Swiss’s patented ultrasonic peening process, which cold forges the metal to strengthen it rather than weaken it like conventional stretching methods.
