Sapim Polyax Nipple 14G

Sapim Polyax 14G Aluminum Nipple is a premium lightweight spoke nipple designed for high-performance bicycle wheel builds. Manufactured from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, it offers an exceptional combination of low weight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it a preferred choice for performance cyclists, wheel builders, and racing applications.

The Polyax head design allows the nipple to self-align with the spoke angle, reducing stress on both the spoke and rim while improving wheel durability and spoke tension consistency. This advanced design helps create stronger, more reliable wheel builds and simplifies wheel assembly.

To further enhance performance, Sapim applies a proprietary low-friction coating to both the nipple surface and threads. This unique treatment significantly reduces friction between the spoke, nipple, and rim, resulting in smoother wheel building, easier truing, and more accurate spoke tension adjustments. The coating also seals the surface to improve corrosion resistance and prevent thread binding.

Ideal for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, XC bikes, and custom wheelsets, the Sapim Polyax Aluminum Nipple delivers professional-grade performance, reliable tension retention, and lightweight efficiency for demanding cycling applications.
