Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (281) Black

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 281mm Black Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke designed to deliver the ideal combination of strength, lightweight performance, durability, and ride comfort. As Sapim's most popular double-butted spoke, the Race is trusted by professional wheel builders worldwide for creating strong, reliable, and long-lasting wheelsets.

Manufactured from premium stainless steel and engineered using Sapim Cold Forging Technology (SCFT), this spoke is cold-forged to enhance material strength while preserving the linear molecular structure of the steel. This process increases the strength of the center section by at least 48%, providing exceptional durability and fatigue resistance without adding extra weight.

The double-butted construction features a thinner middle section that reduces spoke weight and improves shock absorption compared to traditional straight-gauge spokes. Reduced spoke torsion during wheel building allows for easier tensioning, more accurate wheel truing, and improved wheel stability. The durable black finish gives wheelsets a clean, professional appearance while complementing modern bicycle designs.

Ideal for road bikes, gravel bikes, mountain bikes, touring bikes, hybrid bicycles, endurance bikes, and custom wheel builds, the Sapim Race 281mm Black Spoke offers proven performance and reliability for demanding riding conditions.
