Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (289) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 289mm Silver Spoke is a high-performance bicycle spoke engineered to deliver an ideal combination of strength, durability, lightweight construction, and ride comfort. As Sapim’s most popular double-butted spoke, the Race is trusted by professional wheel builders and cyclists worldwide for creating reliable, high-quality wheelsets.

Manufactured from premium stainless steel, the Race features a double-butted profile with a thinner center section than standard straight-gauge spokes. This design reduces spoke weight while increasing fatigue resistance and improving shock absorption. The thinner midsection helps absorb vibrations and impacts more effectively, contributing to a smoother ride and enhanced wheel longevity.

The double-butted construction also minimizes spoke torsion during wheel building, allowing for more precise tensioning and stronger, more consistent wheel builds. Its traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, while the precision-cut 289mm 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 289mm spoke delivers proven reliability, performance, and durability for demanding cycling applications.
