Sapim CX-Ray spokes are the benchmark for lightweight, high-performance wheel builds. Using a cold-forged stainless steel construction with a bladed 2.0 - (2.3 x 0.9) - 2.0mm profile, CX-Ray delivers exceptional fatigue resistance and tensile strength while remaining one of the lightest spokes available for performance applications.
Compared to traditional round spokes, CX-Ray offers significantly improved fatigue life and aerodynamic efficiency without sacrificing durability. It has become the standard choice for premium road, gravel, and mountain wheelsets, used by professional teams and custom builders for everything from sub-800g climbing wheels to reliable high-performance daily builds.
CX-Ray is widely regarded as the benchmark for lightweight aerodynamic spokes in high-performance wheel builds

Best For
Best suited for riders and builders prioritizing low weight, efficiency, and long-term reliability. CX-Ray is the go-to choice for climbing wheels, all-around road builds, high-performance gravel setups, and lightweight MTB wheels where strength is required without unnecessary mass. For heavier riders or maximum stiffness builds, consider stepping up to Sapim CX-Sprint spokes.
Wheelbuilding Notes
Bladed spokes should be held during tensioning to prevent wind-up. Using the Sapim Bladed Spoke Holder improves accuracy during final tensioning and truing. For complete custom builds, riders can also rely on our expert wheel builders for optimized spoke, hub, and rim selection.
