2026 FARSPORTS S Series Carbon Wheelset

The 2026 FARSPORTS S Series Carbon Wheelset is FARSPORTS’ latest carbon-spoke road wheel platform—built for riders who want fast, modern widths and a clean, premium finish without the guesswork. You can choose your depth based on how you ride: S4 45 mm (climbing + punchy acceleration), S5 50 mm (true all-rounder), or S6 58.5 mm (aero focus). All models use a 24 mm internal / 31.5 mm external hooked rim profile for today’s tires, plus tubeless/clincher compatibility for real-world pressures and reliability. The wheelset is built around FARSPORTS’ SH01F/SH01R ratchet hubs and a stable 18F / 18R 2:1 carbon-spoke lacing pattern. Claimed weights start around ~1190–1320 g (pair, ±5%) and FARSPORTS notes no stated rider weight limit (marked “suitable for gravel”).
