Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (274) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 274mm Silver Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke designed to deliver an ideal combination of strength, durability, weight savings, and riding comfort. Recognized 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 premium stainless steel, the Sapim Race features a double-butted construction with a thinner center section compared to traditional straight-gauge spokes. This advanced design reduces overall spoke weight while improving shock absorption and fatigue resistance. The thinner center section also helps minimize spoke torsion during wheel building, allowing for easier tensioning and more accurate wheel assembly.

Compared to plain-gauge spokes, the Race provides superior ride quality and long-term durability by better absorbing road vibrations and impacts. Its traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, while the precision-cut 274mm length offers accurate fitment for compatible wheel configurations.

Suitable for road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 274mm spoke offers proven reliability and performance for both competitive and everyday riders.
