Spokes (Nerd Alert):

The Aerolite spoke has been a super light top end wheel spoke favourite for a long time. Is has the cross sectional area, weight and stiffness of a Revolution spoke, but mashed (which is a technical term for cold forged) in to a bladed super light spoke.

In 2025 DT Swiss bought out a new bladed spoke, the Revolite, the ideal choice for riders seeking a spoke that combines durability and light weight. Ever so slightly heavier, and a clever unique shape.

How to use this information! If you want a more compliant front wheel, go for the Aerolite. If you're on an eeb, or hard hitting enduro bike, go for the revolite. Will you notice the weight or compliance difference? The aggregation of marginal gains says just do it.... plus the Aerolite front wheel is on a bangin' discount!
