DT Swiss, short for Drahtwerke Tréfileries Swiss, is a Swiss company that develops, manufactures, and markets bicycle components. Founded in 1994 in Biel, Switzerland, by Frank Böckmann, Maurizio D'Alberto, and Marco Zingg, the company initially focused on manufacturing and distributing spokes. Today, DT Swiss has a wide range of products, including spokes, nipples, hubs, rims, complete wheels, and suspension systems. The company's mission is to develop high-performance products that give ambitious cyclists a decisive advantage.
DT Swiss operates production and sales sites in various locations, including Germany, Poland, France, the USA, and Taiwan. The company has around 650 employees. Key figures in the leadership team include Martin Walthert (CTO), Matthias Meier (Chief Sales Marketing Officer), and Michael Boesiger (Chief Operating Officer). DT Swiss is known for its innovative technologies, such as the Ratchet System in its hubs, and its commitment to Swiss precision and quality. Recently, DT Swiss launched a new professional off-road racing team with Canyon Bicycles, called Canyon × DT Swiss All-Terrain Racing. In 2025, the company issued a recall for some of its carbon wheelsets due to a manufacturing defect.
