FARSPORTS CABON THROUGH AXLE KIT
The Farsports Carbon Thru Axle Kit represents the pinnacle of lightweight bicycle hardware engineering. Designed for weight-conscious road and gravel cyclists, this premium kit drops crucial grams from your bike's unsprung mass without compromising on structural integrity. By utilizing Toray T700 and T800 high-modulus carbon fibre construction, Farsports has achieved a remarkably high stiffness-to-weight ratio that handles high-torque riding with absolute confidence.
What sets this kit apart from traditional custom tuning parts is its innovative modular design. Unlike fixed axles that become obsolete when you swap frames, this system features a replaceable threaded head mechanism.The included comprehensive kit provides ten different threaded ends alongside precision spacers and the necessary tools, allowing you to easily configure the axles to match the unique thread pitches and lengths of various bike fleets.
Engineered with a unique triangular cross-section, these axles are structurally optimized to deliver enhanced tensile strength compared to traditional round profiles. This design creates an exceptionally rigid connection between your wheels and frame, maximizing power transfer and tracking precision through fast, technical corners.

Why This IS For You
✅ Weight Weenie Approved: The absolute ultimate upgrade if you are looking to shed every possible gram from your premium road or gravel build.
✅ Future-Proof Investment: The universal thread system means you can retain your ultra-light axles even if you sell your old bike and buy a new frame.
✅ Exceptional Stiffness: The specialized triangular profile delivers high tensile strength for sharp, flex-free handling under load.
Why This May NOT Be For You
❌ Premium Price Point: A significant financial investment for a set of axles, which may not appeal to riders on a strict budget.
❌ Requires Tool Competency: Swapping the threaded ends requires careful installation using the included tools to ensure correct fitment.
❌ Niche Upgrade: If your current stock alloy axles work fine and you aren't chasing minor weight savings, the performance gains may feel marginal.
BFC PRO TIP
Before installing the Farsports Carbon Thru Axle Kit, clean your frame's dropouts and hub end caps completely to remove any grit. When setting up the replaceable threaded ends, double-check your frame manufacturer's exact thread pitch (e.g., M12 x 1.0, 1.5, or 1.75) and use a high-quality grease on the threads. Always use a precision torque wrench during final installation to match the recommended specifications—over-tightening carbon hardware is a quick way to damage your premium investment!
