Crafted in Italy, Built to Triumph: Alpina Spokes

Where elite carbon rim engineering meets a century of Italian metalworking mastery, performance is completely redefined. At Light Bicycle, we believe an exceptional custom wheelset demands absolute perfection across every component — from our hand-laid carbon fibers down to every single spoke, nipple, and hub. That is why we are proud to introduce Alpina Raggi as an official component partner for our custom wheel builds.

Rooted in Lomagna, Italy, Alpina has spent nearly a century mastering high-performance spokes and nipples. By pairing classic Italian craftsmanship with 100% renewable energy and high-grade 302 stainless steel, they produce spokes designed for extreme fatigue resistance, rock-solid consistency, and full supply-chain traceability.
