DT Swiss Competition silver spokes represent the pinnacle of precision and durability in wheel building. Crafted entirely in Switzerland, these spokes benefit from over 350 years of steel drawing expertise in Biel, ensuring exceptional quality and workmanship. The 14 / 15 gauge double butted design features a 1.8 mm thickness at the center to reduce weight, while maintaining a robust 2 mm thickness at the ends where strength is paramount. This balance makes the Competition spokes a versatile choice, trusted by everyone from daily commuters to professional downhill racers.
What sets DT Swiss spokes apart is their patented ultrasonic peening process, a cold forging technique that strengthens the metal rather than weakening it through stretching. Made exclusively from custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes deliver an unmatched strength-to-weight ratio. Additionally, the rolling of the nipple thread preserves the grain structure of the material, greatly reducing the risk of thread failure—a common issue found in lower quality spokes. Available in boxes of 100, each spoke measures 296 mm, making them ideal for a wide range of wheel setups.
Are these spokes suitable for all types of bikes?
Yes, DT Swiss Competition spokes are designed for a wide range of bicycles, from road and mountain bikes to downhill racing wheels, offering versatility and reliability.
How does the ultrasonic peening process improve the spokes?
The ultrasonic peening cold forges the spokes, strengthening the metal fibers instead of weakening them, resulting in a superior strength-to-weight ratio and longer-lasting spokes.
