Wheel(s) DUKE STRADA 48 / Sapim CX-Carbon Spokes
CX-Carbon Edition. 1092 g* of performance-focused speed. Strada 48 is our high-end Elite road build for riding fast, attacking often and keeping precise handling, with extremely low weight for two 48 mm profiles.
Its dual 48 mm profile delivers a clear aerodynamic gain, finely balanced inertia and reassuring high-speed stability, while remaining light enough for varied terrain.
Key processes & technologies:
- 25 mm internal width, optimised for 28-30 mm tyres**
- CX-Carbon Edition: Sapim CX-Carbon 365 spokes, 20h front / 24h rear
- DUKE MadMax3 T365 hubs: dedicated interface for 3.65 × 5.5 mm T-head carbon spokes
- SLR5: advanced layup of Toray T1100 carbon fibres and aerospace-grade resin
- SpokeCore: moulded spoke passages for a more homogeneous and more reliable structure
- VFP: clearcoat-free finish, more durable and more environmentally friendly
- DRC: vibration filtering for increased comfort and precision
- Offset: asymmetric lacing for more balanced spoke tension and improved lateral stiffness and long-term reliability
- Hooked / Tubeless Ready: optimum safety and compatibility with modern tyres
Result:
A fast, lively, precise and very light wheelset for its depth - designed to raise average speed without sacrificing control.
* Weight +/- 30 g for a pair of wheels drilled 20h front / 24h rear, built with DUKE MadMax3 T365 hubs and Sapim CX-Carbon 365 spokes.
** Compatible with 28 mm and wider tyres.

Strada 48 CX-Carbon Edition is aimed at riders who want a wheelset clearly focused on speed, while still staying light, reactive and fully usable on rolling terrain.
The 48 mm profile clearly moves into fast performance territory. It brings a clear aerodynamic gain, better sustained speed and finely tuned inertia, while keeping weight low enough for rolling terrain.
Based on the SLR5 process, the rim combines Toray T1100 fibres, aerospace-grade resin and a highly precise layup to deliver a top-level weight / stiffness / reliability ratio.
DRC optimises vertical support and steering precision by filtering vibrations without dulling power transfer. SpokeCore passages ensure a homogeneous and durable structure.
The Offset geometry balances spoke tension and reinforces lateral stiffness. With its 25 mm internal width, the rim reaches its full potential with modern 28-30 mm tyres.
This CX-Carbon Edition combines DUKE Elite carbon rims with Sapim CX-Carbon 365 spokes and DUKE MadMax3 T365 hubs. The benefit is not only weight: the build lowers rotating mass, sharpens steering precision and delivers a more immediate response at every acceleration.
The Sapim CX-Carbon 365 uses an ultralight carbon structure and a 3.0 × 1.5 mm aerodynamic teardrop profile. Its very low elongation - around 0.43 mm at 1200 N - limits energy loss under pedalling load and gives the wheelset a particularly direct feel.
The 20-spoke front / 24-spoke rear layout keeps weight extremely low without giving up lateral stiffness. The front wheel keeps a precise road feel, while the rear wheel remains stable under power during sprints and hard accelerations.
DUKE MadMax3 T365 hubs use a dedicated interface for the 3.65 × 5.5 mm T-head format of the CX-Carbon spoke. They complete the build with a high-end mechanical platform that matches the level of this edition.
Very light, direct and consistent in every component choice, this CX-Carbon Edition is aimed at riders who want a truly high-end build: not just lighter, but more precise, more reactive and more efficient on the road.
Sapim Spokes
Sapim is THE go-to spoke brand, manufactured in Belgium since 1918. Several spoke models are available, depending on compatibility with your riding style and chosen rim:- Sapim CX-Ray: flat spoke, very light, durable, aerodynamic, and offers a very dynamic ride feel (309g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
- Sapim CX-Sprint: flat spoke similar to the CX-Ray but thicker for even more stiffness (373g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
- Sapim D-Light: round spoke, light and durable, with a central section diameter of 1.65mm, good value for money (344g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
- Sapim Race: round spoke, strong and stiff with a central section diameter of 1.8mm (408g / 64 pcs / 292mm)
Nipples
Aluminum nipples with locking thread, available in 16 colors: black, red, silver, metallic grey, blue, aqua blue, gold, light gold, dark green, mint syrup green, lime green, lilac, pink, fuchsia pink, orange, and oil slick.
Accessories
The wheels are delivered fully assembled with valves and rim tape installed, four spare spokes and nipples, and an assembly certificate.
All Duke by JPRACINGBIKE1 wheels are assembled by hand in Vendée, France.
Crash replacement
We offer a crash replacement programme for carbon wheels. In case of accidents or heavy falls, violent shocks can damage your rim and make it impossible to use. With our Crash Replacement offer we offer you a service that allows you to replace your rim under special conditions: You get a 50 percent discount on the price of UD carbon & 3k Carbon rim, as well as the parts and the disassembly/reassembly. This offer is valid (for life) for an unlimited period of time for DUKE carbon rims and is transferable in the event of sale of the wheels to a third party.
