Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (271) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 271mm Silver Spoke is one of the most popular performance bicycle spokes in the cycling industry. Designed for riders who want the perfect balance of strength, durability, weight savings, and riding comfort, the Race spoke features a double-butted construction that enhances wheel performance without compromising reliability.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the Sapim Race utilizes a thinner center section than standard straight-gauge spokes. This design reduces weight while improving shock absorption and ride quality. The double-butted profile also minimizes spoke torsion during wheel building, making it easier to achieve accurate spoke tension and build stronger, longer-lasting wheels.

Compared to plain-gauge spokes, the Race offers improved fatigue resistance and greater durability under repeated riding loads. Its traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard hub configurations, while the precision-cut 271mm length provides accurate fitment for compatible wheel builds.

Ideal for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bikes, and performance wheelsets, the Sapim Race 271mm spoke is trusted by professional wheel builders worldwide for its proven performance and reliability.
