Sapim's original Polyax nipples have a rounded profile, which allows up to 9 degrees of adjustment for better spoke seating. Improved seating angle increases spoke life and overall wheel durability.

High profile or radially mounted wheels are prone to impacts which can cause momentary loss of spoke tension, allowing nipples to loosen. Sapim SILS Polyax Aluminum nipples (Sapim Integrated Locking System) have a special thread system which prevents loosening. A SILS nipple, which is self-locking, does not degrade over time, allowing wheels to be trued, re-tensioned, or re-dished with minimal hassle.
