Farsports Evo S Review (2026)

Precision without excess. Speed without noise.

The 2026 Farsports Evo S refines what was already a disruptive platform. Full carbon construction. Carbon spokes. Genuine CeramicSpeed bearings. No gimmicks — just performance engineered properly.

From £1,350, it sits in premium territory. The difference is where the money goes.

The Numbers That Matter

Configuration tested:
50mm front / 58.5mm rear
Shimano freehub
1,246g total weight

That places the Evo S among the lightest deep-section wheelsets available — particularly at this depth.

Farsports claims:

• 10% increase in stiffness

• 5% reduction in weight

• Wider 31.5mm external rim

On paper, incremental. On the road, meaningful.

Wider. Faster. More Composed.

The move to a 31.5mm external / 24.3mm internal rim profile aligns perfectly with modern 28–30mm tyres.

The result:

• Improved tyre shaping

• Smoother aero transition

• Greater crosswind stability

• A more planted feel at speed

It’s a subtle evolution — but it modernises the wheelset decisively.

Carbon System Thinking

This isn’t just a carbon rim with upgraded hubs. It’s a fully integrated carbon system:

• Carbon rim

• Carbon bladed spokes

• Reinforced hub flanges

• Straight-pull architecture

The redesigned spokes increase lateral stiffness and sharpen power transfer under load. Acceleration feels immediate. Out-of-saddle efforts feel supported. At speed, the wheel remains calm rather than reactive.

There’s intent behind the engineering.

CeramicSpeed Inside

The defining detail.

Genuine CeramicSpeed bearings are fitted throughout — including the freehub body. On their own, these typically represent a £440–550 upgrade.

Integrated here as standard, they deliver:

• Reduced rolling resistance

• Long-term durability

• Global service support

• 4-year warranty backing

This is where the Evo S separates itself from typical “value” carbon wheels.

Ride Character

Light without fragility.
Stiff without harshness.
Aero without instability.

The 2026 update improves high-speed composure particularly in crosswinds while retaining the lively feel that made previous versions popular.

Freehub engagement is crisp and mechanical, without excessive volume. Everything feels deliberate.

Practicality

• Hooked rim profile

• Tubeless ready (no rim tape required)

• Compatible with tubeless, tubeless-ready, or clincher

• 120kg rider weight limit

It’s performance-focused, but not restrictive.

Who Are These For?

The Evo S Series suits riders who:

• Want race-level performance without a £3,000+ price tag

• Value low rolling resistance and stiffness

• Ride fast group rides or competitive events

• Want a lightweight aero wheel without compromise

It’s equally at home on a performance road build as it is on a climbing-focused aero setup.

Stlsse Verdict

The 2026 Farsports Evo S is not a budget alternative pretending to be premium. It’s a serious performance wheelset that happens to be aggressively priced.

Light. Stiff. Modern in profile. Backed by CeramicSpeed.

For riders chasing marginal gains without stepping into ultra-luxury pricing, this is one of the most compelling deep-section options currently available.

If you’re building a fast bike and want performance that punches above its weight — the Evo S deserves your shortlist.
