Arris Composites’ (Berkeley, Calif., U.S.) Made to Outperform (MTO) carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics (CFRTP) bicycle spokes are now being featured on Specialized Roval Rapide CLX and CLX III wheel sets.

According to the Arris team, “What makes the MTO spokes different is the thermoplastic construction, which produces a thin, aero-shaped spoke that Arris claims is lighter and stronger than metal spokes while also offering an efficient, low-waste production process and a design that allows the spokes to be laced into standard rims and hubs.”
