BERD SPOKES
Berd spokes are made of a sophisticated polymer that floats on water and has 12 times the strength-to-weight ratio of steel. Berd spokes outlast steel and are resistant to the elements. This is what distinguishes Berd spokes as the lightest, strongest, and longest-lasting spokes ever created.
When combined with the specially designed Flex rims, these spokes have excellent vibration-damping capabilities. This means that the stress loads are not immediately passed to your body.
