Ask about building with these spokes →Spoke cutting and threading →About Gorilla Spun →The #14-#15-#14 double-butted spoke is one of the most versatile spokes in the DT SWISS spoke product line.
Competition Spoke gains its special strength by being manufactured by cold forging. This process not only makes them extremely durable, but also makes them approximately 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 enables a wide range of applications, from road wheels to ultra-lightweight enduro-type MTB wheels.
