Ask about building with these spokes →Spoke cutting and threading →About Gorilla Spun →It is one of the most versatile spokes in the DT Swiss spoke range.
DT Competition spokes gain their special strength by being manufactured by cold forging. This process not only makes them extremely durable, but also makes them about 50 grams lighter than spokes with a diameter of 1.8 mm, due to the thinner middle section.
With the same strength and weight as the equivalent 2.0 mm spokes from other manufacturers, their excellent balance makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from road wheels to ultra-lightweight enduro MTB wheels.
Weight: approx. 311g for 64 spokes with a length of 264 mm
