The brand has presented at the Taipei fair some spectacular wheels weighing only 968 grams with a 37 mm carbon rim, proprietary hubs with a ratchet-type pawl system, and carbon spokes. Despite their lightness, these wheels seem to have a completely guaranteed strength. At least that is indicated by having passed the tests set by the UCI for approval for competition use.

No less spectacular are their new aerodynamic cranks, highlighting the tremendous shaping of their arms to achieve maximum gains in this aspect, using the same direct mount system for the chainrings developed by Easton for their Cinch cranks.

These cranks follow the latest cycling trend of using increasingly shorter lengths, so they are available in sizes from 155 to 172.5 mm. Additionally, Overfast also presented cranks with non-aerodynamic arms, highlighting their impressive weight of only 299 g. In both cases, the brand will offer the option of a DUB axle, the SRAM standard, or a 24 mm axle, the standard used by Shimano.
