FSA

Who or what is FSA?

FSA (standing for Full Speed Ahead) is a large, globally operating bicycle component manufacturer supplying parts for nearly every cycling discipline, including Road, Mountain Biking, Gravel, and historically, BMX.

What does FSA stand for?

FSA stands for performance-oriented components across a wide spectrum of cycling. They are known for their extensive research, development, and manufacturing capabilities, producing everything from entry-level to high-end professional equipment, particularly strong in drivetrain and cockpit components for Road and MTB.

What makes FSA products special (in BMX)?

In the BMX world, FSA's primary significance lies with the FSA "Impact" integrated headset. This headset became one of the most popular and widely adopted integrated headsets due to its reliability and affordability, often specced on complete bikes and used as a go-to aftermarket option. Historically, they also produced BMX cranks based on the Profile Racing spindle system.

What does FSA primarily manufacture (for BMX)?

While their overall range is vast, FSA's key contribution to BMX includes:

• Integrated Headsets: Most notably the "Impact" model.
• Historically: BMX cranks (Profile-style 3-piece).
• Potentially other small parts: Like headset spacers, although their BMX-specific focus has diminished.

Who are FSA products suitable for (in BMX)?

The FSA Impact headset remains suitable for any BMX rider needing a reliable and affordable integrated headset replacement or for a new build. Ask your homies, I bet one of them is running the FSA Impact! Their historical cranks might be relevant for older builds or specific setups.

Who rides for the FSA Team?

FSA heavily sponsors professional athletes and teams, but primarily in the Road and Mountain Bike disciplines, reflecting their main market focus.
