A dependable choice for a wheel that needs to work hard. Competition uses a double-butted round profile to take weight out of the centre while keeping material at the head and threaded end.
DT Swiss forms the spoke by cold forging. It is a versatile basis for road or mountain-bike wheels, with the length and head style chosen for the exact hub, rim and lacing pattern.
The double-butted shaft keeps thicker material at the head and thread while reducing the centre. That gives the wheelbuilder a useful balance of weight and durability for a wheel built to be ridden regularly.
Cold forged for the build
DT Swiss forms the spoke by cold forging rather than simply cutting down the shaft. Choose the correct length and build it to even tension to turn that carefully formed spoke into a dependable complete wheel.
