Farsports Gravel X – Reliability and precision with Sapim CX-Ray spokes
Farsports Gravel X Sapim Edition are wheels designed for cyclists who demand uncompromising durability. The combination of armored carbon rims with legendary Sapim CX-Ray steel spokes creates a set ready for the toughest gravel races and multi-day adventures into the unknown.
Why Sapim CX-Ray? These spokes are winners in fatigue tests. They are almost as light as titanium, yet offer the stiffness and responsiveness of steel, which is crucial during technical descents and sudden accelerations.

TESTED BY BIKE LAB
We choose the Sapim spoke version wherever "peace of mind" is paramount. We tested these wheels under heavy loads and on routes where servicing was impossible for hundreds of kilometers. CX-Ray steel spokes provide a characteristic, predictable "feeling" and are trivially easy to true if necessary. The wide rim profile (38 mm in the X3 model) perfectly stabilizes 40-45 mm tires, allowing for confident cornering on loose terrain.
Key advantages:
- Sapim Reliability: Aerodynamic steel spokes with the highest fatigue strength on the market.
- Wide profile: Internal width up to 31 mm (X3) ensures ideal tire support and traction.
- Quick service: Standard nipples and spokes available in any professional bike workshop.
- Armored construction: No weight limit makes these ideal wheels for bikepacking and tougher terrain.
