Crafted with over 350 years of expertise in steel drawing from Biel, Switzerland, these spokes are manufactured entirely in-house to meet the highest standards of quality and craftsmanship. The double butted design, featuring 1.8 mm thickness at the center and 2 mm at the ends, ensures an ideal balance between lightweight efficiency and robust strength, making these spokes suitable for a wide range of cycling disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDT Swiss employs a unique ultrasonic peening process that cold-forges the spokes, enhancing the metal’s strength rather than weakening it as conventional stretching does. Made exclusively from a custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes provide exceptional durability and resistance to fatigue. Additionally, the rolling of the nipple thread preserves the metal’s grain, maximizing strength and reducing the risk of failure—a common problem in lower-quality spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a commuter, a mountain biker, or a professional rider, DT Swiss Competition spokes offer a trusted solution for building or maintaining wheels that perform consistently under demanding conditions. With a weight of just 311 grams for 64 spokes of 264 mm length, these components deliver premium quality without unnecessary bulk.\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 versatile cycling use\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDurable wheel builds that withstand various riding styles, from daily commuting to competitive downhill racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhanced spoke longevity thanks to superior materials and advanced manufacturing processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaintaining wheel integrity with reduced risk of thread failure due to precision nipple threading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUse in ultra-lightweight racing setups where even lighter spokes might be preferred\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eApplications requiring spokes thicker than 2 mm for extreme durability beyond typical cycling needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking colored or non-silver spoke finishes\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 types?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese DT Swiss Competition spokes are versatile and compatible with most standard wheel builds, especially those designed for 14\/15 gauge spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes the ultrasonic peening process special?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis process cold-forges the spoke material, strengthening it rather than weakening it, resulting in a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to traditional spoke manufacturing methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510023807151,"sku":"SK270D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227665-96556900.jpg?v=1768524002","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-spokes-14-15g-double-butted-2-1-8mm-270mm-box-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
