Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (275) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 275mm Silver Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke engineered to provide the ideal balance of strength, durability, lightweight performance, and ride comfort. As one of Sapim's most trusted and widely used spoke models, the Race is a preferred choice among professional wheel builders for creating strong, reliable, and long-lasting wheelsets.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the Race features a double-butted construction with a thinner center section than traditional straight-gauge spokes. This advanced design reduces spoke weight while improving shock absorption and fatigue resistance. The thinner midsection also reduces spoke wind-up and torsion during wheel building, making tensioning easier and resulting in more accurate and durable wheel builds.

Compared to plain-gauge spokes, the Sapim Race offers enhanced ride quality by absorbing vibrations more effectively while maintaining exceptional strength. The traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, and the precision-cut 275mm 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 275mm spoke delivers proven reliability and performance for demanding riders and wheel builders.
