Manufactured entirely in Biel, Switzerland, these spokes benefit from over 350 years of steel drawing expertise. Their unique ultrasonic peening process cold-forges the metal, enhancing strength without adding weight, ensuring an outstanding strength-to-weight ratio. Crafted from custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes guarantee durability and reliability for all types of riders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese double butted spokes measure 1.8 mm in the center for weight savings and 2 mm at the ends for maximum strength where it matters most.
