It's shaping up to be a big year for components brand Full Speed Ahead (FSA), with plenty of new products across road cycling, triathlon and MTB at the Taipei Cycle Show.
On the road side they have a full range of SRAM 1x-compatible cranksets, from lightweight carbon SL-K models right down to entry-level Vero Pro offerings.
Here's the Omega Adventure crankset
On a similar note, they now have a range of compact ‘gravel/adventure’ cranksets offering a wide range of chainring options from pro-compact 52/36 through 50/34, 48/32, 46/36, and even a 46/30t.
The new beefy MTB stems - this one's a K-Force Light
For mountain bikers they have new beefier stems with -12° drops and various lengths, plus some -20° options. There’s also a new dropper post, first unveiled last September, and new modular cranks that can easily switch between single, double, standard or Boost 148 with the use of a simple tool.
FSA couldn’t give us any more info or pricing, as none of the new stuff is ‘officially’ launching here in Taipei – we might have to wait as long as Eurobike in September for that. But check out our gallery above for more of the latest from FSA, as there is plenty of it…
