I’m looking for a new wheelset, but seems like minimal options which have what i’m looking for. Ideally want something hooked, 50-60mm, 1200-1300g, and decent in crosswinds.
The Farsports evo c5 looks interesting, but i’ve seen mixed reviews about stability in crosswinds. Has anyone got any experience with these.
Basically what i really want is a hooked enve ses 4.5,..
If you feel up to spending $4000, get Scopes.
I was in the same boat this summer and was also considering the farsports.
I ended up buying the 2026 CRW’s 50/60s from pandapodium and can highly recommend them. They are more comfortable and crosswind resistant than my Elite Drive 50s.

I have nothing but good things to say about my Farsports wheels. I’ve got about three seasons of fairly aggressive gravel riding/racing (lots of Vermont Class IV, chunky New England gravel, occasional singletrack) as a big rider (200ish pounds). I’ve never babied them, and they’re still perfectly true as far as as my bad eyes can tell. I’ve never even had to think about them, particularly.
The ordering and shipping process was totally seamless, too. This is my setup:
Model Number: FS30/30G-700C
Hubs: DT Swiss 350
