What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"When building a fast, lightweight wheelset, these are my go-to spokes. They're incredibly strong for how light they are and the aero profile is noticeable, especially on flat, fast terrain. They look clean, build smooth, and perform at the highest level."For riders chasing every watt, the DT Swiss Aerolite Spoke delivers elite-level performance with zero compromises. Cold-forged from stainless steel and then bladed for aerodynamic gains, these spokes offer the best of both worlds-ultra-lightweight construction and high tensile strength for responsive, low-drag wheels. Whether you're lacing up a deep-section carbon rim or dialing in a sub-1,400g wheel build, the Aerolite's flat profile slices through wind while maintaining the reliability of a standard spoke interface. With a double-butted body that drops to 1. 5mm in the center, they cut grams without sacrificing build integrity. They're also compatible with standard hubs, making them a top-tier upgrade for road, triathlon, or fast gravel.
