Berd - ultralight textile spokes in Dyneema®

Berd is an American brand specializing in the manufacture of a rope-shaped textile spoke called PolyLight. Weighing only 2.2 grams, representing a saving of approximately 140 grams compared to a pair of wheels equipped with Sapim CX-Ray spokes, PolyLights are among the lightest spokes on the market.

Their Dyneema® material combines extreme lightness and exceptional resistance (comparable to steel), while filtering vibrations for optimal comfort on rough roads or hilly terrain.

Why choose Berd PolyLight shelves?

Exceptional lightness
An ultra-light weight of 2.2 grams per spoke, ideal for cyclists seeking significant weight reduction, and therefore an impact on performance: less weight means better acceleration and easier climbing.
Comfort and vibration absorption
The Dyneema® material absorbs shocks and vibrations, offering increased comfort on hilly or degraded roads, and therefore an improved driving experience: reduction of fatigue and muscle stress.
Durability and resistance
Dyneema® is known for its exceptional strength, comparable to that of steel, but with a significantly lower weight. UV and wear resistant, it is designed to withstand the most demanding conditions.

Berd PolyLight spokes offer a perfect balance of lightness, comfort, and durability. Combined with We Are One Faction rims and Industry Nine Hydra Classic hubs, they create a high-end setup for cyclists seeking performance and reliability.
