The Farsports Gravel X Sapim Edition wheels are designed for cyclists who demand uncompromising durability. The combination of reinforced carbon rims and legendary Sapim CX-Ray steel spokes creates a setup ready for the toughest gravel races and multi-day expeditions into the unknown.
Why Sapim CX-Ray? These spokes are proven to be fatigue-test-winning. They're nearly as light as titanium, yet offer the stiffness and responsiveness of steel, crucial for technical descents and explosive acceleration.
