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

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Double Butted (DB) Silver 270mm Spoke is a premium bicycle spoke engineered for riders and wheel builders who demand strength, durability, and lightweight performance. As one of Sapim's most trusted and widely used spoke models, the Race delivers an ideal balance between reliability and weight reduction, making it suitable for a wide range of cycling disciplines.

Constructed from high-quality fatigue-resistant stainless steel, the spoke features a double-butted profile with 2.0mm ends and a thinner 1.8mm center section. This design reduces overall weight while improving elasticity and shock absorption compared to conventional straight-gauge spokes. The thinner center section helps distribute stress more evenly, increasing spoke longevity and enhancing wheel durability.

The Sapim Race spoke is known for its easy tensioning characteristics and reduced spoke torsion during wheel building, allowing for more accurate wheel construction and consistent spoke tension. Its corrosion-resistant stainless steel finish ensures dependable performance in all weather conditions.

Ideal for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 270mm spoke offers professional-grade performance and long-lasting reliability.
