2026 FARSPORTS EVO C Series Carbon Wheelset — FAQ
What’s the difference between EVO C4, EVO C5, and EVO C6?
It’s primarily rim depth: 45 mm for climbing and crosswind stability (EVO C4),
50 mm for the best all-round balance (EVO C5),
and 58.5 mm for more aero benefit at speed (EVO C6).
How does the EVO C Series compare to the FARSPORTS EVO S Series?
The EVO C Series uses aero steel spokes to balance durability and long-term serviceability, while the
2026 FARSPORTS EVO S Series Carbon Wheelset
uses carbon spokes to prioritize lower weight and maximum stiffness.
Which is better: steel spoke wheels or carbon spoke wheels?
Carbon-spoke wheels typically maximize stiffness and reduce rotating mass, while steel spoke wheels are generally easier to service and can be a more forgiving choice for mixed conditions.
If you want the lightest, most stiffness-focused option, look at our
EVO S Series carbon spoke wheelset.
If you want a race-ready wheel with steel spoke serviceability, the EVO C Series is the better fit.
Are these wheels tubeless-ready?
Yes. The EVO C Series uses a hooked tubeless ready rim and supports tubeless or clincher setups.
Use quality tape/valves and confirm tyre compatibility for best results.
What is the rider weight limit?
The EVO C Series is rated for riders up to 120 kg.
Can I mix rim depths front and rear?
Yes. Mixed-depth builds are supported (for example, a shallower front for stability and a deeper rear for speed).
Availability depends on the configuration you select.
Which freehub body do I need?
Options include Shimano HG 11/12s, SRAM XDR, Campagnolo 11/12s, Micro Spline 12S, and N3W 13s.
If you’re unsure, message us your drivetrain and cassette model and we’ll help confirm the correct choice.
What spokes are used and what’s the spoke count?
The EVO C Series uses Alpina® Ultralite aero steel spokes with a 2:1 balance:
21 front and 24 rear.
