Twinspoked

Twinspoked is a term that describes a particular design feature often found in wheels, particularly in bicycles and motorcycles. It refers to a wheel that utilizes two spokes for every single connection point on the hub. Instead of a single spoke extending from the hub to the rim, twinspoked wheels employ a pair of spokes that diverge from a single hub flange. These twin spokes then typically attach to the rim at separate points, or sometimes converge before attaching. This design is intended to increase the strength and rigidity of the wheel compared to traditional single-spoked designs. The doubled spokes can distribute forces more effectively, potentially leading to greater resistance against lateral flex and improved durability. The aesthetic of twinspoked wheels is also a contributing factor to their use, offering a distinctive visual appearance. While offering benefits in terms of strength, twinspoked wheels can sometimes be heavier than their single-spoked counterparts due to the increased material used. They are often found in applications where load-bearing capacity and robustness are prioritized.
