Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (273) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 273mm Silver Spoke is a high-performance bicycle spoke engineered to provide the perfect balance of strength, durability, lightweight performance, and riding comfort. As one of Sapim's most popular spoke models, the Race is trusted by professional wheel builders and cyclists worldwide for creating strong, reliable, and long-lasting wheelsets.

Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the Sapim Race features a double-butted construction with a thinner center section than conventional straight-gauge spokes. This design reduces spoke weight while enhancing shock absorption and fatigue resistance, helping wheels better withstand road vibrations and trail impacts. The spoke's optimized profile also minimizes torsion during wheel building, allowing for more accurate spoke tension and easier wheel assembly.

Compared to plain-gauge spokes, the Race offers improved wheel durability and a smoother ride quality without compromising strength. Its traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, while the precision-cut 273mm length provides accurate fitment for compatible wheel builds.

Ideal for road bikes, mountain bikes, gravel bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 273mm spoke delivers proven performance, reliability, and efficiency.
