These spokes are made from premium Swedish X5 stainless steel, custom blended to deliver exceptional strength and durability. Their unique double butted design, with a 1.8 mm thickness in the center and 2 mm at the ends, ensures an ideal balance between lightweight efficiency and robust strength where it’s needed most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to DT’s patented ultrasonic peening process, the metal is cold forged rather than stretched, enhancing the spoke’s resilience and strength-to-weight ratio.
