The Sapim Race Double Butted Spoke is Sapim’s most popular spoke model — trusted by wheel builders worldwide for its perfect balance of strength, weight, and reliability. Using Sapim Cold Forging Technology (SCFT), the spoke is ‘stretched’ to form its butted profile while maintaining the linear grain structure of the stainless steel, increasing its strength at the middle section by up to 48%.
The Race spoke offers easy tensioning, reduced torsion, and superior fatigue resistance. Its thinner midsection not only saves weight but also improves shock absorption, delivering a smoother and more responsive ride. Whether for road, MTB, or trekking, the Sapim Race is the go-to choice for performance and longevity.
