Aluminium is the material of choice for higher performance. For this purpose, Sapim has chosen the highest aluminium grade possible (7075 T6) for this sort of usage. It combines light weight, strength and corrosion resistance. The anodized surface treatment provides various colour possibilities.
Aluminium nipples are available in: silver, black, red, orange, gold, blue, green and purple. Sapim's state of the art manufacturing process ensures the best quality available on the market. As a consequence, Sapim's Aluminium nipples has become the benchmark in the market.
Coating is applied on all aluminium nipples. The coating is applied on the thread and on the nipple. Friction between both spoke and nipple and rim and nipple is significantly reduced. Coating also seals the surface reducing corrosion. This is now standard in Sapim's production.
