DT Swiss Competition Spoke

Double-butted means the spoke is thicker at the ends where stress is highest and thinner in the middle section. This design reduces overall weight and adds a bit of elasticity, which helps the wheel absorb road vibrations better than a straight-gauge spoke.

Yes, they are highly versatile and commonly used for mountain biking, including enduro. Their cold-forged construction provides the durability needed to handle trail impacts while keeping the wheel weight manageable.

No, the nipples are sold separately. This is intentional, as it allows you to choose the specific nipple material, color, and length that best match your rim and hub build requirements.

These are J-bend spokes. They are designed for hubs that utilize traditional J-bend spoke holes, so ensure your hub compatibility before purchasing.

While these spokes are durable, they are not explicitly corrosion-resistant. It is good practice to keep them clean and dry, especially if you ride in wet or salty conditions, to maintain their finish and structural integrity over time.
