Sapim CX-Sprint Black Spoke
| Article number: | Spokes |
| Availability: | In stock |
Sapim CX-Sprint spokes are built for wheelsets that need more strength than a CX-Ray without giving up the aerodynamic benefits of a bladed spoke. Sapim uses a 2.0 - (2.25 x 1.25) - 2.0mm profile with added material through the center section, making CX-Sprint a strong choice for powerful riders, low spoke count race wheels, and durable high-performance road, gravel, and mountain builds. Official Sapim dimensions list the spoke at 2.25 x 1.25mm through the bladed section, with a stated tensile strength of 1430 N/mm². :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Compared with lighter aero spokes, CX-Sprint adds stiffness and durability while retaining the fatigue-resistant characteristics that make bladed stainless spokes a strong option for premium custom wheels. It is available in both J-Bend and Straight-Pull formats, making it useful across a wide range of hub and rim combinations. For best results during wheelbuilding, support the bladed section near the nipple to prevent spoke twist, ideally with the Sapim Bladed Spoke Holder. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Features
- Bladed stainless steel spoke for aerodynamic, high-strength wheel builds
- Heavier-duty alternative to CX-Ray for more stiffness and durability
- Suitable for road, gravel, and mountain wheelsets
- Available in J-Bend and Straight-Pull versions
- Cold-forged and bladed for strength, fatigue resistance, and consistent spoke quality
- Compatible with standard 14G / 2.0mm spoke interfaces
Best For
Ideal for custom wheel builds where strength, long-term durability, and aero performance matter more than chasing the absolute lowest spoke weight. CX-Sprint is especially well suited to low spoke count road wheels, powerful rider builds, disc brake wheelsets, and performance gravel or MTB wheels that benefit from a stronger bladed spoke.
Wheelbuilding Notes
These spokes do not require unusual lacing techniques, but the thin bladed section should be held during tensioning to prevent wind-up. Pairing them with the Sapim Bladed Spoke Holder makes build and final tension work more precise. For complete custom wheel builds, riders can also rely on our expert wheel builders for spoke, rim, and hub selection.
