Manufactured entirely in Switzerland from custom-blended Swedish X5 stainless steel, these spokes offer exceptional strength and durability. Their unique double butted design features a 1.8 mm thickness in the center to reduce weight, while the ends are reinforced at 2 mm to ensure maximum strength where it matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to DT Swiss’s patented ultrasonic peening process, each spoke is cold forged to strengthen the metal rather than weaken it, giving these spokes the best strength-to-weight ratio available. The precision rolling of the nipple thread preserves the material’s grain structure, greatly enhancing durability and minimizing the risk of thread failure—a common problem with lower-quality spokes. Ideal for a variety of cycling disciplines, DT Swiss Competition spokes are trusted by everyone from casual commuters to professional downhill racers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat It’s Good For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProviding a lightweight yet durable spoke option for all types of wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnhancing wheel strength and longevity through superior materials and manufacturing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eReducing the risk of spoke failure with advanced thread rolling technology\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupporting a wide range of cycling styles, from everyday riding to competitive downhill racing\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 applications requiring non-stainless steel spokes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSituations where spoke length differs significantly from 271 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRiders seeking spokes with different gauge specifications beyond 14\/15 g (2\/1.8 mm)\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\u003eThey are compatible with most wheels that require 271 mm length spokes with a 2 mm thread diameter, but it’s important to verify your wheel’s specifications before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes DT Swiss Competition spokes better than others?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDT Swiss uses a patented ultrasonic peening process that cold forges the spokes, strengthening the metal and improving the strength-to-weight ratio compared to other brands that weaken spokes during butting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DT Swiss","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45510023774383,"sku":"SK271D","price":64.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/2003\/4223\/files\/1361227666-36749500.jpg?v=1768524003","url":"https:\/\/www.swinnertoncycles.co.uk\/products\/dt-swiss-competition-silver-spokes-271-mm-2-1-8-mm-double-butted-box-100","provider":"Swinnerton Cycles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
