"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve laced these into everything from race-day road builds to lightweight gravel wheels. They build up tight, stay true, and you can feel the reduced drag—especially when the pace ramps up on flats or descents.""Built for serious cyclists who count grams and chase speed, the DT Swiss Aerolite 2. 0/1. 5 Spokes are engineered for aerodynamic efficiency without compromising strength. Starting as a round double-butted spoke, each Aerolite is cold-forged and then flattened into a bladed profile—resulting in one of the lightest and fastest spokes on the market. Ideal for road, TT, or performance gravel wheels, the Aerolite drops drag and weight while maintaining the lateral stiffness needed for high-torque efforts. They're compatible with standard hubs and available in a wide range of lengths, making them a versatile choice for pro-level builds and custom upgrades alike. When you're ready to unlock speed in your wheels, start with the spokes."
