Crafted entirely in-house in Biel, these spokes are the result of over 350 years of expertise, ensuring the highest quality standards. The double butted design, with 1.8 mm thickness at the center and 2 mm at the ends, optimizes weight without compromising durability, making them suitable for a wide range of cycling disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUtilizing a patented ultrasonic peening process, DT Swiss strengthens the metal by cold forging rather than weakening it through stretching, which sets these spokes apart in terms of reliability and longevity. Made exclusively from custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, they resist corrosion and maintain their structural integrity over time. The rolled nipple threads preserve the grain of the metal, dramatically reducing the risk of breakage where it matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding a perfect balance of lightweight and strength for all cycling types, from commuting to competitive downhill racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsuring long-lasting durability thanks to the ultrasonic peening cold forging process\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMinimizing spoke failure with rolled nipple threads that maintain metal grain integrity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOffering consistent, high-quality performance with custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring spokes thicker than 2 mm for extreme heavy-duty use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders looking for spokes outside the 297 mm length specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations demanding non-stainless steel spokes or different material blends\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes DT Swiss Competition spokes different from other spokes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir unique ultrasonic peening process cold forges the metal, strengthening rather than weakening the spoke, combined with premium Swedish X5 stainless steel for superior strength-to-weight ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these spokes suitable for all types of cycling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the double butted design and high durability make them ideal for everything from casual commuting to high-intensity downhill racing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510024462511,"sku":"SK297D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227674-12533800.jpg?v=1768524012","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-double-butted-spokes-297-mm-box-of-100-1-8-2-mm","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
