SAPIM CX-SUPER 15G SP BLACK

– Extreme lightness: The CX-Super is approximately 17% lighter than the already lightweight CX-Ray. A single 260 mm spoke weighs approximately 3.6 grams.
Advanced stainless steel: It is manufactured from a new grade of stainless steel, which allows the spoke diameter to be reduced while increasing its strength and fatigue resistance.
– Superior strength: Despite its reduced weight, it has a 120 N higher centre section strength than the CX-Ray.
– Aerodynamic profile: The flat (laminated) centre section offers a significant aerodynamic advantage and allows for easier assembly without the spoke twisting.
– Dimensions: Typical measurements are 1.8 mm at the spoke head, 0.9 x 2.0 mm in the aerodynamic centre section and 1.8 mm at the thread.
– Types: Available in J-Bend and Straight Pull versions.
– Applications: Ideal for road, triathlon and mountain bike competition wheels where every gram counts.

– Requires specific nipples: Due to its small thread diameter (1.8 mm, 15G), it requires 1.8 mm nipples, which must be ordered separately.
– Assembly: It is as easy to assemble as the CX-Ray, but some wheel experts advise caution, considering it less resilient for everyday use than other spokes and more suitable for stiffer components or specific racing use.
– Cost: The use of “exotic” steel makes this spoke more expensive than the CX-Ray.
– Availability: It may only be available to special order from some retailers, due to its very specific and niche use.
