Champion

Brand: DT Swiss

The Champion is the plain-gauge (non-butted) spoke in the DT Swiss range, alongside the double-butted Competition and the bladed Aerolite. DT Swiss offers it in 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm and 2.34 mm diameters, with J-bend or straight-pull heads, and in lengths from 130 to 340 mm. This entry documents the 2.0 mm (14 gauge) J-bend version, which DT Swiss positions for road wheels as much as for downhill mountain bike wheels; the 1.8 mm version targets road and light off-road use, and the 2.34 mm version electric bikes and tandems.
