What Is It?
The Pillar Aero Spoke Black Oxide Straight Pull 262mm is a premium bladed straight-pull spoke designed for lightweight, aerodynamic, and high-performance wheel builds. Manufactured from Pillar's proprietary T302+ stainless steel using advanced cold-forging technology, it delivers an exceptional balance of strength, elasticity, and fatigue resistance for long-lasting wheel durability.
Its straight-pull design eliminates the stress concentration associated with traditional J-bend spokes, while the aero bladed profile helps reduce aerodynamic drag and improve wheel efficiency. Finished in Black Oxide, the spoke offers a sleek appearance with added corrosion resistance, making it ideal for performance road, gravel, and mountain bike wheelsets.
