Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (276) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 276mm Silver Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke engineered to deliver the perfect balance of strength, durability, weight savings, and riding comfort. As one of Sapim’s most popular and trusted spoke models, the Race is widely used by professional wheel builders for creating strong, reliable, and long-lasting wheelsets.

Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the Race features a double-butted construction with a thinner center section than conventional straight-gauge spokes. This design reduces overall spoke weight while improving shock absorption and fatigue resistance. The thinner midsection also minimizes spoke torsion during wheel building, making tensioning easier and helping achieve more accurate and stable wheel builds.

Compared to plain-gauge spokes, the Sapim Race offers improved ride quality by absorbing road vibrations and trail impacts more effectively while maintaining exceptional strength. The traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, while the precision-cut 276mm length provides accurate fitment for compatible wheel configurations.

Suitable for road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, endurance bikes, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 276mm spoke delivers proven performance and reliability for cyclists who demand high-quality wheel components.
