Zipp CX-Ray J-Bend Spokes

Yes, these are standard J-bend spokes, meaning they will fit any hub designed for that interface. However, you must ensure the spoke length matches your specific rim and hub combination, as 290mm is a fixed length.

The bladed profile is designed to slice through the air more efficiently than round spokes, reducing aerodynamic drag. This helps you maintain speed more easily, particularly during high-intensity rides or races.

Yes, these spokes are durable enough for mountain biking, though they are most commonly associated with road and gravel builds. Their high fatigue resistance makes them a reliable choice for demanding off-road conditions.

Each package contains three spokes. Be sure to calculate the total number of spokes required for your specific wheel build to ensure you order enough packs.

While you don't need proprietary tools, you will need a bladed spoke holder to prevent the spoke from twisting while you tighten the nipple. This ensures the blade remains properly aligned for aerodynamics.
