Details Enhance your bicycle wheelsets with the Berd PolyLight 14g Spoke (White, 287mm) – the world’s lightest polymer-based spoke designed for high-performance cycling enthusiasts. Crafted with cutting-edge PolyLight polymer technology, these spokes weigh approximately 100 to 200 grams less per wheelset compared to traditional steel or carbon spokes, allowing you to build ultra-lightweight wheels that optimize speed, agility, and climbing efficiency at a lower overall build cost. Materials & Engineering Excellence Made from durable, high-strength polymer with a 2.0mm diameter cross section, Berd PolyLight spokes deliver superior fatigue resistance and longevity. Their innovative composite structure not only reduces weight but also enhances vibrational damping, resulting in a smoother, more comfortable ride on asphalt and trail. The custom abrasion-resistant coating safeguards against wear, ensuring long-term durability even in demanding riding conditions. Performance & Components Designed for compatibility with all standard hub and rim configurations, these spokes accept both J-bend and straight-pull hub connections, featuring an integral eyelet for seamless integration. The 14-gauge (2.0mm) stainless threaded connection at the rim includes a flat section that prevents twisting during tensioning with a special tool, simplifying wheel building and maintenance. The inclusion of double square locking nipples (sold separately) and Berd’s dedicated supplemental kit facilitates secure, reliable wheel builds optimized for performance. Innovative Features & Use Cases Utilize Berd PolyLight spokes to construct ultralight road racing wheels, gravel bike setups, or endurance wheelsets where weight savings and vibration damping are critical. Their superior fatigue resistance and aerodynamically optimized 1.8mm cross section enhance handling and speed, making them ideal for competitive cycling, triathlons, or adventurous gravel rides. The unique polymer composition provides a significant edge over traditional spokes, combining lightweight engineering with strength and durability.
