SPOKES

 

SAPIM SPOKES

They can be described in many ways:  
A piece of steel, a wire, a spring, or, as we prefer, the bond between the hub and the rim.

As the connecting link between the hub and the nipple, the spoke has multiple functions:

- Support: The spokes support the weight of the bicycle and its load.
- Absorption: The spokes absorb road irregularities, ensuring the rider's comfort.
- Transmission: The spokes transmit the cyclist's acceleration and braking effort.

 CARBON SPOKES

In addition to traditional steel spokes, carbon spokes are available on the market, offering significant advantages in terms of weight and aerodynamics.

  • Cylindrical carbon spokes: These have a round cross-section, similar to traditional metal spokes. They are ideal for cyclists seeking to reduce their bike's overall weight without compromising strength.
  • Bladed spokes: Also known as flat spokes due to their elongated flat cross-section. The flat shape helps reduce air resistance, a crucial factor in high-speed competitions.
