The light and colored anodized aluminum nipples fit perfectly with the Sapim spokes. The shape of the head allows the nipple to align itself better in the pulling direction and thus prevents the spoke from buckling too much. High quality standards in production guarantee an exact fit and exact centering of the impeller.
Technical Specifications:
Aluminum is the material of choice for higher performance. For this purpose, Sapim has chosen the highest aluminum grade possible (7075 T6) for this sort of usage. It combines light weight, strength and corrosion resistance. The anodized surface treatment provides various color possibilities.
Most common material for nipples, brass nipples are generally nickel coated to ensure good corrosion resistance. Most wheel building robots can only work with brass nipples.

The CX-Ray still receives one of the best results in fatigue testing of any spoke. Its unique strength and flexibility make the CX-Ray suitable for most bicycle disciplines. The middle section of the spoke is drawn then pressed in a special mold to form its specific profile. CX-Ray spokes are used by top bike racers and triathletes around the world. Even downhillers use them, recognizing their strength and flexibility. Special alloy treatment and sophisticated production make this all possible. The CX-Ray fits in all standard hub holes.
No extra hub hole design; hub manufacturer ‘s guarantee is unaffected.
Almost as light as Titanium.
More long lasting than any other spokes on the market.
Extremely high fatigue test results.
Special alloy treatment and sophisticated production.
The best aerodynamic elliptic spoke available.
Produced from high-tensile, fatigue-resistant 18/8 stainless steel conforming to the Sapim quality standard specifications.
Although Sapim is not actually a tool manufacturer, they want to support their customers by recommending reliable tools for their spokes and nipples. To this end, the company has tested all tools currently available on the market. The design of the CX/CX-Ray spoke wrench is based on existing tools, however it has been slightly modified by Sapim. Solid wheel construction begins with the right tools.

Nipple washers increase the strength of the rim and reduce friction between the nipple and the rim.
The 7.2mm outer diameter fits almost all rim holes.
Approximate dimensions:
The Laser is a lightweight spoke. The thin middle section of 1,5 mm needs special care while building up the wheel. You may have to use pliers to hold the spoke to prevent the spokes from winding up. Only experienced wheel builders should mount up wheels with this spoke.
Long- lasting
Highly flexible
Better shock absorption thanks to the thin middle section
Technical Specs:
Diameter: 2.0 - 1.5 - 2.0
Length: 270 - 294 mm
Strength on middle section: 1500 N/mm2

100pcs / Set with brass nipples (14G, 12MM Secure lock)
The Leader is the recommended choice for a day-to-day usage. A big variety of length is available. Diameters up to motorcycle usage can be produced.
Technical Specs:
A must have wheel building tool. Rotating handle and the guide shape enables you to quickly screw the nipple onto the spoke. It supports standard shape nipples.

Race is a very popular double butted spoke. Build up tension is easy. Much less torsion and not as elastic as the Laser spokes is the key points. The Race provides a better shock absorption thanks to a thinner middle section than the one of a non-butted spoke. Dealers say about this traditional spoke: “Never change a winning team…”
The Sapim spoke tensiometer is an analogue device to measure the spoke tension on the wheel. This pre-calibrated instrument is equipped with a large gauge plus additional marks to keep the measuring process short.
The working range is from 30 kg up to 200 kg. The Sapim tensiometer comes in a well padded hard case box.
Can be used with all spoke types.
Included in delivery: Tension Meter, hard case, metal stick for testing, tables für Sapim spokes
Like it says, this spoke is very strong. The Strong is developed for specific and heavy usage such as tandem, e-bikes or heavy load use. In case of large hub holes, the Strong is the recommended choice.
