A butted spoke is drawn to its specific profile, which defines its high strength. Race is the most popular double butted spoke of Sapim. Build up tension is easy. Much less torsion and not as elastic as the Laser spokes are the key points. The Race provides a better shock absorption thanks to its thin middle section than non butted spokes.
As light as a titanium spoke The CX-Ray still receives 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 is all standard hub holes.

DT revolution is the lightest round spoke in the DT Swiss spoke range! The diameter of the middle section is reduced to 16 gauge (1.5 mm) during the cold forging process with 2 mm butting on either end.. This slim centre piece saves weight compared to spokes with a constant diameters. Its use is very versatile due to the ideal ratio between stability and low weight. DT revolution is a reliable partner for anyone looking for a light wheel in a classic design.
The classic lightweight spoke for all round use in stainless steel. J Bend (Hook) The 14 / 15 gauge double butted spoke is 1.8 mm thick in the centre to save weight, but 2 mm thick at the end where strength is needed. The butting process adds strength through cold forging of the metal Made from X5 stainless steel, containing chrome for rust resistance and nickel for strength. The rolling of the nipple thread removes no metal from the spoke and preserves the grain of the material, maximising strength.
