Sapim Polyax Nipple - Alu 14G 12mm, Gold

Sapim Polyax Aluminum Nipple 14G 12mm Gold is a premium lightweight spoke nipple designed for high-performance bicycle wheel builds. Manufactured from aerospace-grade 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, it offers an outstanding combination of low weight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, making it an ideal choice for performance-oriented cyclists and professional wheel builders.

Featuring Sapim's renowned Polyax head design, the nipple automatically aligns with the spoke angle, reducing stress on the spoke and rim while improving overall wheel durability. This self-aligning design helps create stronger, more reliable wheel builds and simplifies spoke tensioning during assembly.

To enhance wheel-building performance, Sapim applies a proprietary low-friction coating to both the nipple surface and threads. This unique treatment reduces friction between the spoke, nipple, and rim, resulting in smoother wheel truing, reduced spoke wind-up, and more precise tension adjustments. The coating also seals the surface to improve corrosion resistance and long-term durability.

Finished in an attractive gold anodized coating, this nipple adds a premium custom appearance to road, gravel, mountain, and racing wheelsets while delivering the lightweight performance trusted by cyclists worldwide.
