DT Swiss Competition Double Butted J-Bend Spoke 292mm Black

Season:2023

Brand:Dt Swiss

Code:55681

The DT Swiss Competition J-Bend Spoke is a foundational component for professional wheel builders, service technicians, and custom wheel enthusiasts. Engineered to handle high-tension demands across diverse riding disciplines, this premium double-butted spoke is optimized for everything from featherweight road setups to high-impact enduro mountain bike configurations. It leads with a primary use case of custom wheel building and wheel repair services, providing mechanics with an immediate increase in structural resilience over straight-gauge alternatives.

Crafted from premium chrome-nickel stainless steel, this component undergoes a specialized cold-forging process that increases its fatigue resistance and structural density. The double-butted design features a 2.0mm thickness at the head and threaded ends where stress is concentrated, while tapering down to a slim 1.8mm profile throughout the middle section. This intentional variation in cross-sectional area allows the spoke to shave significant weight—saving roughly 48 grams across a standard 64-spoke wheel build—while maintaining the lateral stiffness required for aggressive tracking and power transfer.

Equipped with precision-rolled threads, this 292mm spoke ensures smooth, consistent engagement with matching nipples, preventing thread galling and holding tension through intense trail chatter. The sleek black finish is chemically bonded to the steel casing, resisting chipping, scratching, and environmental corrosion over extended lifecycles. Whether you are replacing a broken drive-side spoke or unboxing a complete set to lace up a high-end custom wheelset from scratch, this authentic DT Swiss component provides the balanced strength-to-weight performance necessary to confidently roll through demanding singletrack and tarmac alike.
