The FSA NS SC i30 wheelset for maximum control
All-mountain use is about more than just speed. It's about confidence in the material, durability and control in constantly changing terrain. With the introduction of the NS SC i30 Full Speed Ahead (FSA) brings advanced carbon technology to riders looking for a reliable and versatile wheelset without having to go straight to the high-end shelf.
Made for real trails
The NS SC i30 was developed for riders who test their limits on technical sections, long climbs and demanding descents. Thanks to the ASTM 4 classification, it is officially approved for aggressive trail riding and can easily cope with the higher loads of modern E-MTBs. This makes it the ideal choice for anyone who prioritises reliability and long-lasting performance over pure race optimisation.
The centrepiece of the wheelset is a "hookless" full carbon rim with an inner rim width of 30 mm. This wide profile offers the tyre optimum grip and improves grip, traction and overall stability - especially when using wider tyres on rough and unpredictable surfaces. The rim height of 22 mm provides the perfect balance between stiffness and responsiveness and ensures precise handling without unnecessary additional weight.
Designed for control and durability
Every detail of the NS SC i30 is designed to enhance the riding experience. The wheels feature direct-pull spoking with 28 aero spokes on the front and rear wheels. This ensures maximum stiffness and efficiency. The handcrafted construction ensures consistent quality and delivers a perfectly tuned wheel that can withstand constant stress.
In the hub, the in-house six-pawl system made of aluminium ensures fast and reliable engagement. Compatibility with Shimano Micro Spline and SRAM XD freehub bodies enables seamless integration into modern 12-speed drivetrains. The 6-hole brake disc mount in accordance with the ISO standard offers an uncomplicated brake setup.
The result is a wheelset that reacts directly under load, remains stable in technical sections and performs reliably in all conditions.
Tested above industry standards
Durability is not just a promise - it is a requirement. Like all FSA wheels, the NS SC i30 undergoes extensive in-house testing to ensure that it stands up to the toughest conditions.
From torsional resistance tests that measure structural integrity under rotational load to ISO-certified impact simulations that replicate real-life impacts on the trail, every wheel is pushed to its limits. Fatigue tests evaluate long-term durability under repeated stress, while high impact energy tests exceed standard benchmarks to ensure resistance to extreme forces.
Additional spoke strength tests and mud simulations confirm that the wheelset retains its performance even in the most difficult environments - including wet, muddy and extreme conditions typical of off-road use and use on E-MTBs.
Performance meets value for money
A key argument in favour of the NS SC i30 is its appeal. With a retail price of €1,149, it delivers premium carbon construction, advanced engineering and rigorous testing at a price that is accessible to the masses. Weighing just 1,495 grams per pair, it offers a competitive balance of strength and weight, making it ideal for long days on the trail.
Ready for any adventure
Whether technical descents, tours in the backcountry or use on an E-MTB in demanding terrain: the NS SC i30 is designed for consistent performance. Its robust construction and versatile design make it a reliable partner for anyone who demands more from their equipment - ride after ride. With the NS SC i30, FSA presents a wheelset that epitomises control, durability and real performance. It makes high-level carbon technology available for everyday trail use.
