FSA has a new lightweight, tough, and affordable SCi30 carbon MTB wheelset that will make upgrading your mountain bike an easier decision. Developed for all-mountain riding with a full carbon 30mm internal hookless tubeless rim, FSA built the wheels tough to even handle enduro and eMTB riding, too.
And they still managed to keep the wheelset under 1.5kg and under twelve hundred euros. There’s really not much on the market that can match that for enduro & eMTB riding!
FSA SCi30 lightweight carbon all-mountain bike wheels
Officially, the new FSA wheels are called NS SCi30, with that non-series abbreviation a key point. FSA doesn’t want to pigeonhole the new wheels into one discipline. Sure, they started development as a reasonably-priced and durable all-mountain upgrade wheelset.
But the further they got into development, FSA realized they were plenty robust to handle enduro duty, and they’ve even worked with OEMs to spec them on lightweight enduro eMTBs, too. Specifically, you can find the new carbon FSA SCi30 wheels fitted to the new top-spec Merida eOne-Sixty SL 10K that launched earlier today.

FSA SCi30 carbon MTB wheels – Pricing, options & availability
The new light carbon FSA SCi30 mountain bike wheels were unveiled today, with a $1250 / 1150€ retail price tag for the pair. They are 29er only, and you can pick from Shimano MicroSpline or SRAM XD freehub bodies. The wheels look like they will officially be a model year 2025 product, so it likely will be a few months before you can get your hands on a set direct from FSA. And you can click below on the FSA website, but they aren’t there just yet.
Instead, the first chance to own a pair will be to buy an expensive, lightweight Merida enduro eBike now.
