Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G DB (270) Black

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Double Butted 270mm Black Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke engineered to deliver an exceptional balance of strength, lightweight performance, durability, and ride comfort. As Sapim's most popular double-butted spoke, the Race is trusted by professional wheel builders and cyclists worldwide for building strong, reliable, and long-lasting wheelsets.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel and utilizing Sapim Cold Forging Technology (SCFT), the spoke is stretched while maintaining the linear molecular structure of the material. This advanced process increases the spoke's strength in the middle section by at least 48%, resulting in superior durability without adding unnecessary weight.

The double-butted design features a thinner center section that reduces spoke weight and improves shock absorption compared to standard straight-gauge spokes. The spoke also experiences less torsion during wheel building, making tensioning easier and helping achieve more accurate, stable wheel builds. Finished in a durable black coating, it provides a sleek appearance that complements modern wheelsets.

Ideal for road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 270mm Black Spoke delivers proven performance for demanding riders.
