It's great for all kinds of cycling, whether you're riding on the road or taking on enduro mountain biking. Made with cold forging, it's incredibly durable yet weighs just 48 grams.

Using these spokes is easy. Just attach them to your bike wheels according to the wheel's design. When installing, make sure they are tightened evenly to avoid uneven stress. As for maintenance, regularly check the spokes for any signs of damage or looseness. If you notice a spoke is loose, tighten it gently with a spoke wrench. Keep the spokes clean by wiping them down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the finish. If you're riding in wet or muddy conditions, dry the spokes thoroughly after your ride to prevent rusting.
