DT Swiss Revolite - J-bend - 2.0/1.3/2.3 Spokes - Black

DT Swiss Revolite - J-bend - 2.0/1.3/2.3 Spokes - Black The company we now know as DT Swiss has been drawing steel in Biel for over 350 years and their spokes are still made completely in house in Switzerland to the highest possible standards of quality and workmanship The Revolite is DT's toughest lightweight spoke, ideal for high-end MTB and gravel builds Unique blading and shaping process gives a unique seamless transition from the double butted section for greater strength and long term durability Butted section narrows to 2.3 x 1.3 mm for superior aerodynamic performance but unique Revolite profile leaves a solid core for improved durability Hubs can be laced as normal, so no slotting of the spoke holes is required which can weaken a hub flange Whereas other brands stretch and weaken their spokes to butt them, DT's unique and closely patented ultrasonic peening process cold forges the spoke, actually strengthening the metal, giving DT's the best strength to weight ratio of any butted spokes Made exclusively from Swedish X5 stainless steel that is custom blended just for DT The rolling of the nipple thread removes no metal from the spoke and preserves the grain of the material, maximising strength and greatly reducing the likelihood of failure at the threads, a common issue with lower quality spokes Finished in black using an electro-chemical treatment that is durable, and does not weaken the spokes Weight: 295 g for 64 x 264 mm length spokes, 2 mm thread.
