Reference Number: 0D51C9
Upgrade your bicycle build with the DT Swiss Competition Spoke 2.0mm / 1.8mm / 2.0mm - a top-tier, versatile spoke designed for durability, lightweight performance, and precision. Crafted with advanced engineering and high-quality materials, this straight pull spoke is ideal for a wide range of cycling disciplines, from road racing to lightweight enduro mountain biking.
Materials & Construction
Made from cold-forged steel, the DT Swiss Competition spokes boast exceptional strength and resistance to fatigue. The cold forging process enhances the spoke's durability, ensuring it withstands rigorous riding conditions. The double butted profile (2.0/1.8/2.0 mm) reduces weight without sacrificing strength, making each spoke approximately 48 grams lighter per 64 spokes compared to uniform diameter alternatives.
Performance & Engineering
Designed for optimal aerodynamics and reduced rotational weight, these spokes feature a sleek black finish for corrosion resistance and a professional look. With a precise 278mm length, they are compatible with straight pull hubs, allowing for simplified installation and increased wheel stiffness. Each spoke weighs just 5.9 grams, contributing to a lightweight wheelset that doesn't compromise on strength or reliability.
Components & Technology
Double butted construction (2.0/1.8/2.0 mm) balances flexibility and rigidity, ensuring efficient power transfer and enhanced wheel durability. The straight pull design minimizes stress points, providing better tension consistency and improved wheel longevity. Please note, nipples are sold separately, allowing for tailored customization based on your cycling needs.
