Sapim Polyax Nipple - Alu 14G 12mm, Red

Sapim Polyax Aluminum Spoke Nipple 14G 12mm Red is a high-performance wheel-building component designed for cyclists and wheel builders who demand lightweight strength, precise spoke tension, and long-term durability. Crafted from premium 7075-T6 aluminum alloy, this nipple offers an exceptional combination of low weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for performance-focused wheelsets.

The advanced Polyax head design allows the nipple to self-align with the spoke angle, reducing stress on the spoke and rim while promoting more even tension distribution. This results in stronger wheel builds, improved durability, and easier wheel truing. The anodized red finish provides a striking appearance while adding an extra layer of protection against corrosion and wear.

Sapim’s proprietary low-friction coating is applied to both the nipple surface and threads, significantly reducing friction between the spoke, nipple, and rim. This technology helps minimize spoke wind-up, enables smoother wheel truing, supports higher spoke tensions, and keeps wheel-building processes cleaner and more efficient.

Perfect for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, XC bikes, racing wheelsets, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Polyax 14G 12mm Red Nipple delivers professional-grade performance and lightweight reliability.
