Information
Supplier Info

The short 2mm section of the d-Light reduces weight especially on the threaded side.
The 2mm section starts just at the beginning of the thread.
Therefore, the rotating masses at the end of the spoke are especially reduced.
This brings benefits to both the acceleration and braking qualities of the wheel.
The use of 14G nipples offers a wide variety of combinations.

The middle section is increased to 1,65mm, which makes the spoke much stiffer and brings less torsion during truing than a 1,5mm middle section.

This results in an easier building process of the wheels.

Designed for top quality MTB wheels with:
- Maximum strength
- Minimum weight
- Disc brake approval

Supplied per 100 pieces.

Since it was founded in 1918, Sapim has focused exclusively on manufacturing bicycle spokes.
Not exactly a great way to generate brand awareness, but it does mean that the company based in Wilrijk (NL) can offer its customers the best quality possible.

Last year Sapim produced over 100 million spokes for road bikes, city bikes, wheelchairs and sulkies (carts used for harness races).
Their machines produce 120 spokes per minute.
And while other factories do the same at a lower cost, Sapim also manufactures spokes manually - this craftsmanship is their key asset.

While we're throwing around numbers, you should know Sapim manufactures 5000 different types of spokes and customizes spokes according to its customers' wishes.
Length, weight, color: they can all differ per customer.

Many cyclists have been successful thanks to Sapim spokes:
big teams like Lotto, Quick.Step, Discovery Channel, T-Mobile and Rabobank use Sapim spokes in their wheels.

Sapim is on a quest to find the perfect spoke and works with the universities of Leuven and Ghent, spending countless hours researching ways to improve its product.
And their efforts are paying off! Sapim has managed to develop spokes that are stronger as well as lighter.
It’s a phenomenon that’s very interesting to the competition, but a secret that the company will of course never divulge.
