Even before launching the new KFX i28 wheels, we already knew that these wheels are one of the best weapons for XC riders. Alan Hatherly became XCO World Championship on the KFXi28. And many athletes were involved in developing this groundbreaking wheelset.

Handcrafted in-house with precision, the KFX i28 features a variable height carbon rim with raised spoke holes. This design resulted in a lower weight and an increased stiffness at the same time. And with an inner rim width of 28 mm and the varying rim height between 22 and 24 mm, the wheel is flexible enough to absorb hard hits on rough terrain.

The wheels are equipped with FSA’s innovative PRS hub system providing 72 engagement points per rotation, and as a result, instant traction and acceleration.  Specially designed for off-road use, the hubs are optimally protected against the ingress of dirt and water.

With a lightweight build and tubeless compatibility, the KFX i28 sets a new standard for competitive riders, blending cutting-edge technology with athlete-driven innovation. Alan Hatherhy can tell.
