Receiving system
DT Swiss Tricon
Identify the proprietary nipple
A DT brand name or six-lobed appearance is not enough; match the Tricon receiving pattern.
What this choice changes
A proprietary DT Swiss Tricon receiving pattern
The SW-5 is sized for the proprietary six-spline DT Swiss Tricon nipple pattern identified by Park Tool. This specific receiving shape matters more than the marketplace’s DT-Torx shorthand. No standard Torx T-number or general screw-driving role is established for this wrench.
Its heat-treated, nickel-plated body and vinyl-dipped grip provide the manual adjustment contact. The selected gray model is not the double-ended Mavic tool mentioned in an unrelated family bullet. Match the exact nipple pattern instead of relying on that mixed description.
Choose it only for the identified Tricon interface. A conventional square wrench or another six-spline proprietary tool is not automatically a substitute. Spoke restraint and tension measurement are separate functions; the wrench alone does not establish a wheel’s permitted target tension.

Questions before you choose
Which Torx T-number is it?
No standard Torx T-number is established. SW-5 serves the proprietary DT Swiss Tricon nipple pattern.
Can I use it on Mavic six-spline fittings?
No interchangeability is established. The Mavic SW-13 and DT Tricon SW-5 have different specified receiving systems.
Will it work on every DT Swiss wheel?
The stated scope is the Tricon nipple pattern. Identify the actual wheel fitting before buying.
