Manufactured entirely in Switzerland, these spokes benefit from over 350 years of steel drawing expertise, ensuring exceptional quality and durability. Their classic double butted design features a thinner 1.8 mm center to reduce weight while maintaining a robust 2 mm thickness at the ends for superior strength where it's most needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to DT Swiss's patented ultrasonic peening process, these spokes are cold forged to enhance the metal's strength rather than weaken it, delivering an unbeatable strength-to-weight ratio. Made from specially blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, the Competition Silver spokes resist fatigue and corrosion, giving your wheels longevity and consistent performance. Additionally, the unique nipple thread rolling technique preserves the material's grain, minimizing failure risks and ensuring your spokes stay secure under demanding conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReliable performance for a wide range of cycling disciplines, from commuting to competitive downhill racing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLightweight construction that optimizes wheel strength without unnecessary bulk\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh durability and corrosion resistance thanks to premium stainless steel composition\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReduced risk of spoke failure due to advanced manufacturing processes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatibility with various wheel builds due to standard 265 mm length and gauge specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s NOT Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHeavy-duty applications requiring spokes thicker than 2 mm for extreme load scenarios\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-standard or custom spoke lengths outside the 265 mm size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking ultra-lightweight carbon spokes instead of steel\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 Silver spokes better than others?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTheir patented ultrasonic peening cold forging process strengthens the spokes instead of weakening them, resulting in a superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to typical butted spokes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre these spokes suitable for all types of cycling?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, their versatile design makes them ideal for everything from daily commuting to competitive downhill racing, offering dependable performance across disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510023610543,"sku":"SK265D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227663-90628200.jpg?v=1768524007","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-spokes-2-1-8-mm-double-butted-265-mm-box-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
