DT Alpine III is the spoke with the lowest weight in relation to its stability. This is accomplished through a complex production process. Starting with a spoke of 2.34 mm, the diameter is reduced at the thread to 2 mm and to 1.8 mm in the middle section during the cold forging process. This allows weight savings of 173g (per 64 spokes) when compared to spokes with a constant 2.34mm diameter. Despite the light center piece, DT Alpine III is very durable and is perfectly suited for the big loads occurring in high performance e-bike or tandem wheels.

Triple Butted: 2.34/1.8/2.0. Requires hub with 2.5mm or larger spoke hole. Single J-bend spoke, nipple not included. One 264mm spoke = 6.5g.

Upgrade Your Bicycle Wheelset with the DT Swiss Alpine III J-Bend Spoke - Optimal Balance of Lightweight Performance and Durability

Premium Materials & Innovative Engineering

The DT Swiss Alpine III spokes are meticulously crafted from high-grade steel, featuring a triple butted design that ensures maximum strength while minimizing weight. Starting with a diameter of 2.34mm, the spoke undergoes a precise cold forging process that reduces the diameter to 2.0mm in the threaded section and 1.8mm in the middle. This advanced manufacturing technique results in a lightweight profile without compromising structural integrity, making the Alpine III one of the lightest yet most durable spokes in its class.

Performance & Compatibility for High-Performance E-Bikes & Tandem Wheels

Designed specifically for e-bike and tandem wheel applications, the Alpine III excels under heavy loads and demanding riding conditions. Its optimized weight-to-stability ratio helps reduce rotational mass, enhancing acceleration, handling, and overall ride quality. The 296mm length and J-bend interface make it compatible with hubs featuring spoke hole sizes of 2.5mm or larger-perfect for high-performance builds.
