"Berd's PolyLightX spokes are designed specifically for riders who need extra durability for enduro, downhill, or eMTB applications. These spokes feature a diameter that's 50% larger than Berd's standard PolyLight spokes, resulting in a 44% increase in stiffness and more than double the abrasion resistance compared to the original design. The PolyLightX's design focuses on the specific demands of aggressive riding and high-load situations."
"Despite the increased strength, PolyLightX spokes weigh just 3.5 grams per spoke, which is only 1 gram heavier than the standard PolyLight version. PolyLightX spokes use 14-gauge (2.0mm) threads, which means they work with standard nipple systems that most bike shops and home mechanics already use. The spokes are available in lengths from 270mm to 340mm, covering common wheel sizes including 27.5″, 29″, and 32″ wheels."
The introduction of longer polymer spokes addresses a shortage of sufficiently long spokes for emerging 32″ wheels. Berd's PolyLightX offers a thicker 2.7mm diameter that increases stiffness by 44% and more than doubles abrasion resistance versus the standard PolyLight, while weighing 3.5 grams per spoke. PolyLightX uses standard 14-gauge (2.0mm) threads and fits hook flange hubs, with lengths from 270mm to 340mm for 27.5″, 29″, and 32″ wheels. The company also offers flagship PolyLight spokes in lengths up to 340mm. The new options target downhill, enduro, and eMTB applications requiring higher load durability.
