Sapim CX-Ray J-Bend Spokes
| Article number: | Spokes |
| Availability: | In stock |
Sapim CX-Ray J-Bend spokes combine ultralight weight, high fatigue resistance, and aerodynamic efficiency in a format compatible with traditional hub designs. Using a cold-forged 2.0 - (2.3 x 0.9) - 2.0mm bladed profile, CX-Ray remains the benchmark for high-performance wheel builds.
The J-Bend configuration makes these spokes compatible with the majority of standard hub designs, offering easier serviceability and broader fitment compared to straight-pull systems. This makes them a preferred choice for both custom builds and long-term serviceable wheelsets.
Features
- Ultralight bladed stainless steel spoke for performance wheel builds
- Excellent fatigue resistance for long-term durability
- Aerodynamic profile reduces drag compared to round spokes
- Cold-forged and bladed for strength and consistency
- J-Bend design for compatibility with standard hub systems
- Standard 14G / 2.0mm interface
Best For
Best suited for lightweight and performance-focused wheel builds using traditional hub designs. Ideal for climbing wheels, all-around road setups, gravel builds, and lightweight MTB wheels where low weight and long-term durability are critical.
Compared to straight-pull spokes, J-Bend spokes offer easier sourcing, replacement, and serviceability, making them a practical choice for riders prioritizing long-term maintenance and compatibility.
Wheelbuilding Notes
Bladed spokes should be held during tensioning to prevent wind-up. Using the Sapim Bladed Spoke Holder ensures accurate tensioning and proper spoke alignment.
For riders using straight-pull hub systems, consider the Sapim CX-Ray Straight-Pull version. For higher strength or stiffness requirements, Sapim CX-Sprint spokes may be a better fit.
