12 MM · ENGINEERED FOR BOWLERS

BOLTS

"For bowlers who give everything at the crease. Plant harder. Push harder. Hold nothing back."

The 12mm bowling spike, engineered around the most punishing load in cricket - the front-foot block. SUS420 stainless steel resists rust far better than the plain coated studs many boots ship with, holding firm through dew-soaked outfields and grass-wet run-ups. Hardened by heat treatment for a tougher, longer-living spike. The extra length keeps your front foot planted, stable and powerful from first stride to release - so you can attack the crease with everything you've got.

PINS

"The 8mm every cricketer relies on - re-engineered, rust-resistant, and built to last."

The 8mm cricket spike, rebuilt from the ground up. Pull your worn-out studs, screw PINS in, and walk out feeling like you've just laced a brand-new pair. SUS420 stainless steel resists rust far better than the plain coated studs many boots ship with - made for dewy, grassy conditions - while a hardening heat treatment delivers durable, consistent performance wear after wear. Get more life out of your boots.

THE LAB

Why the spike matters - and why ours is different.

SPIKELAB vs STANDARD CRICKET SPIKE

SPIKELAB Standard
Lengths Two options - 8mm (PINS) & 12mm (BOLTS) One option - 8mm only
Material SUS420 stainless steel Plated carbon steel; some rubber or plastic
Heat treatment Hardened for durability Often unspecified
Corrosion Made for wet, grassy play Depends on quality
Finish Satin gold electroplated Nickel or zinc plated
Tool T-bar wrench included Spanner usually included
Packaging Cotton pouch + recyclable box Plastic bag or blister pack

Standard spikes are proven, widely available and affordable. SPIKELAB is the considered, cricket-specific upgrade.

THE FORCE - AND HOW WE HOLD IT
5.75×
BODY WEIGHT
Peak load hits the front foot in a fraction of a second - the instant it plants on the crease.
75%
MORE GRIP, MORE OFTEN
In independent boot-traction testing, longer studs produced significantly higher grip on natural grass in 75% of loading scenarios. BOLTS' 12mm is 50% longer than the standard 8mm - biting deeper into the surface for a more planted front foot.
MADE FOR PERFORMANCE, BUILT ON SCIENCE.

SPIKELAB

ABOUT

"Precision starts at your feet."

SPIKELAB exists because the game is evolving and modern spikes don't support the intense loads cricketers face.

So we started with the spike - the smallest, most overlooked piece of a cricketer's kit - and made every part of it deliberate. The geometry. The material. The finish. The pack. The tool. All of it engineered for cricket, none of it borrowed from another sport.

BOLTS™ is the premium 12mm spike for bowlers who take multiple times their body weight every time they hit the crease. PINS™ is the reengineered 8mm replacement for every cricketer who just wants their boots to last longer and perform consistently.

Both fit in the same recyclable packaging. Matte card box with a pure cotton pouch. A wrench that fits and is designed for the player. Because the product is the spike, and everything around it should respect that.
