Sapim Race Spoke J-Bend 14G Pre-cut, DB (297) Silver

Sapim Race J-Bend 14G Pre-cut Double Butted 297mm Silver Spoke is a premium-performance bicycle spoke designed to deliver the ideal balance of strength, durability, weight savings, and riding comfort. As one of Sapim's most popular and widely trusted spokes, the Race is a preferred choice for professional wheel builders and cyclists seeking reliable, long-lasting wheel performance.

Manufactured from high-quality stainless steel, the Sapim Race features a double-butted construction with a thinner center section than conventional straight-gauge spokes. This advanced design reduces spoke weight while increasing fatigue resistance and improving shock absorption. The thinner middle section helps absorb road vibrations and trail impacts more effectively, resulting in a smoother ride and enhanced wheel durability.

The Race spoke is also known for its low torsional characteristics during wheel building. Reduced spoke twist allows for easier tensioning and more precise wheel assembly, helping create stronger and more stable wheelsets. The traditional J-bend design ensures compatibility with most standard bicycle hubs, while the precision-cut 297mm 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 297mm spoke delivers professional-grade reliability and performance.
