Hambini Reviews 2025 Farsports Wheels

When it comes to wheelsets, few reviewers command more trust in the cycling community than Hambini. Known for his unfiltered honesty and rigorous mechanical testing, Hambini’s latest review of the 2025 Farsports Von2 S-series wheels was influencial enough for us to run them on all our builds.

At Catalog Cycles, we don’t lock ourselves into specific brands. Every component we choose — from drivetrain to cockpit to wheels — is selected because it performs. We’re constantly testing and refining our builds, staying flexible so we can use the best, wherever it comes from.

A Review That Reinforces the Engineering

Hambini is known for his brutal honesty, especially when it comes to carbon wheels. His mechanical testing — vibration analysis, hub tolerance, spoke alignment, aerodynamics — goes far beyond marketing claims. The Von2 S5 and S6 wheels didn’t just pass these tests, they impressed.

His summary? “A good wheel… I don’t think you’ll really have any issues with it.”

In Hambini-speak, that’s high praise.

Highlights That Stood Out to Us

• Dialed Geometry: 50mm front and 58mm rear (S5/S6 configuration) with a 24–25mm internal width and over-30mm external — ideal for modern tires and great aero balance.

• Excellent Tolerances: Tire fitment was flawless, spoke tension uniform, and hub quality high. No balancing issues. Just clean engineering.

• Smart Construction: No rim bed holes (no tape needed), deep carbon spokes, and a DT-style ratchet system that’s serviceable and proven.

• Aerodynamic Refinement: Hambini noted the transition between tire and rim was smooth, and even called out the attention to torsional strength in the spoke design.

Fit-and-Forget, Just the Way We Like It

Across light use between Hambini and others, the wheels were totally drama-free. No squeaks, no spoke pinging, no unexpected flex. Just a solid, refined ride feel. And critically — they measured up where it counts: vibration control, stiffness, and durability.

Why They’re Now on Our Bikes

We don’t sell Farsports wheels on their own. But after seeing the technical review and confirming our own ride impressions, we chose to run them on complete builds.

That’s the beauty of what we do: no supplier pressure, no parts bin loyalty — just total freedom to build the best bikes possible. If something better comes along next year, we’ll switch. But for now? Farsports have earned their place.
