Sapim Race Straight-Pull Spoke
| Article number: | Spokes |
| Availability: | Out of stock |
Sapim Race Straight-Pull spokes are a double-butted stainless steel spoke designed for reliable strength, durability, and long-term performance in modern wheel builds. Featuring a 2.0 - 1.8 - 2.0mm profile, Sapim Race offers improved fatigue resistance and weight savings compared to straight gauge spokes while maintaining excellent structural integrity.
The straight-pull configuration eliminates the traditional J-bend, reducing stress concentrations at the hub interface and making it compatible with straight-pull hub systems commonly found on modern road, gravel, and mountain wheels.
Features
- Double-butted 2.0 - 1.8 - 2.0mm stainless steel construction
- Improved fatigue resistance over straight gauge spokes
- Balanced strength-to-weight ratio for versatile wheel builds
- Straight-pull design reduces stress at hub interface
- Compatible with modern straight-pull hub systems
- Reliable and cost-effective performance spoke option
Best For
Ideal for durable and versatile wheel builds using straight-pull hubs. Sapim Race is well suited for training wheels, gravel builds, mountain bike wheels, and high-mileage road setups.
Compared to bladed spokes like Sapim CX-Ray, Race spokes prioritize durability and value over aerodynamic performance. For heavier riders or higher load applications, they provide a dependable, easier-to-handle alternative during builds.
Wheelbuilding Notes
Double-butted spokes like Sapim Race offer better elasticity than straight gauge spokes, allowing them to absorb load more effectively and maintain tension over time. This improves long-term wheel durability and reduces fatigue-related failures.
