Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (272) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 272mm Silver Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke designed to deliver the ideal balance of strength, durability, weight reduction, and riding comfort. As one of Sapim's most popular spoke models, the Race is trusted by professional wheel builders and cyclists worldwide for building reliable, high-performance wheelsets.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the Race features a double-butted construction with a thinner center section than standard straight-gauge spokes. This advanced design reduces overall spoke weight while improving shock absorption and fatigue resistance. The spoke's optimized profile also minimizes torsion during wheel building, making it easier to achieve accurate spoke tension and create stronger, longer-lasting wheels.

Compared to plain-gauge spokes, the Sapim Race offers superior durability and better vibration damping, resulting in improved ride quality and wheel longevity. Its traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, while the precision-cut 272mm length provides accurate fitment for compatible wheel configurations.

Ideal for road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 272mm spoke delivers proven performance and exceptional reliability for demanding cyclists.
