Overview
MTB Wheelset FSA AFTERBURNER WH SET MTB 29 SH TA/QR V15
FSA AFTERBURNER 29" is a high-quality, lightweight mountain bike wheelset combining durable aluminium rims, precision-engineered hubs and versatile axle compatibility. Designed for performance-oriented mountain biking, these wheels provide an excellent balance of low weight, stiffness and reliability. The complete wheelset weighs just 1660 grams without quick-release skewers.
The wheels feature asymmetric aluminium rims with a 25 mm profile depth and 26 mm external width. The 21 mm internal rim width provides a stable platform for mountain bike tyres, supporting an effective tyre profile and confident handling. The rims are Tubeless Ready compatible, allowing riders to switch to a tubeless tyre setup when using suitable components.
FSA aluminium P.R.A. hubs are equipped with stainless steel bearings for smooth rotation and dependable durability across varying riding conditions. The front hub features two bearings, while the rear hub uses four. The aluminium Shimano/SRAM-compatible freehub body supports Shimano 9–11-speed and SRAM X-11-speed cassettes.
The wheelset offers flexible compatibility with different bicycle axle standards. The front hub supports 9 mm quick-release (QR) and 15 mm thru-axle (TA) configurations, while the rear hub accommodates 135 mm QR and 142 mm TA setups. This versatility makes the wheelset suitable for a wide range of mountain bike frames and forks.
Both wheels feature 24 spokes in a two-cross lacing pattern. Double-butted spokes and durable brass nipples provide an excellent combination of strength, reliability and weight efficiency. Each wheel is entirely hand-built, with careful attention to spoke tension and wheel alignment.
Black anodised rims and hubs, combined with black spokes and nipples, give the wheelset a clean and sporty appearance. Coloured graphics complete the design. Aluminium quick-release skewers are included in the package.
