Crafted entirely in-house in Biel, Switzerland, these spokes are made from premium Swedish X5 stainless steel, custom blended to provide exceptional durability and strength. The unique ultrasonic peening process cold forges each spoke, enhancing its strength-to-weight ratio without compromising flexibility. This meticulous attention to detail ensures that every spoke stands up to the rigors of daily commuting as well as competitive downhill racing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a double butted spoke, the DT Swiss Competition spokes measure 2 mm thick at the ends where strength is critical and taper to 1.8 mm in the center to reduce weight. This balance of toughness and lightness makes them ideal for a wide range of cycling disciplines. The rolling process of the nipple thread preserves the material’s grain structure, significantly reducing the risk of thread failure—a common issue with lower-quality spokes. With DT Swiss Competition spokes, you get a classic, proven choice trusted by cyclists worldwide for dependable wheel performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReliable and durable spokes for all types of cycling, from commuting to competitive downhill racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight yet strong double butted design that optimizes weight without sacrificing durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhanced strength due to ultrasonic peening cold forging process\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThread rolling technique preserves grain structure, reducing spoke failure at threads\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-quality Swedish X5 stainless steel for long-lasting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot designed for use with non-standard or heavily customized wheel builds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMay not be ideal for riders who require ultra-lightweight spokes for racing at the highest professional level\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNot suitable for use in environments with extreme corrosion beyond standard road conditions\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 sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DT Swiss Competition spokes come in various lengths, including the 299 mm version, but it’s important to check compatibility with your specific wheel rim and hub before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does ultrasonic peening improve spoke performance?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis patented cold forging process strengthens the metal by refining its internal structure, resulting in spokes with superior strength-to-weight ratios compared to traditional butted spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024560815,"sku":"SK299D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227674-80674800.jpg?v=1768524004","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-double-butted-spokes-2-1-8-mm-299-mm-box-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
