Now you can ride the same white edition RYOT models as our sponsored pro teams!
The TYRO II is FFWD’s next generation 45mm tubeless ready full carbon clincher wheel set designed specifically for disc or rim brake bikes and ideal for road, gravel and cyclocross. Designed to offer exceptional performance, quality and versatility at a great value the new TYRO II exceeds expectations.
Ridden to a UCI Women’s World Hour Record by Joss Lowden (GB) and a British Men’s Elite Hour National Record by Dan Bigham in September and October 2021 the DISC-T LION is now available for your record setting attempts!
In partnership with sponsored teams and individual athletes in each track discipline FFWD received important feedback leading to this ultimate track wheel set. Together with the many hours of development in new rim shapes, which already resulted in a complete new road range and recently in our RYOT77 for triathletes. This knowledge and testing has been used to create an all new track set that completes the RYOT family! The RYOT77 Track is built with a 77mm deep carbon rim with a LAW Tech aero profile that has been optimized for all most common tire widths due to the 26mm wide tire bed. In the center of the wheels are new FFWD track hubs in black with a bolt in closing system on the front…
It’s been 15 years already! 15 years of reinventing the wheel daily. A team of cycling enthusiasts that all share the same drive to help other cyclists. Who all feel the love for cycling. Infected by the famous cycling virus 😉 #15yearsFFWD
A story about an epic gravel bikepacking and hiking adventure!
Building on the aerodynamic advantages of the LAW Tech rim profile, FFWD is pleased to launch the RYOT77. If you are a triathlete or time-trial specialist in search of the optimal balance of speed, weight and stability when very second counts the RYOT77 is for you.
For most people the wheels in a bicycle are a given and are used without further attention. When you’ve spent some time on a bike and got infected with the cycling virus individual parts of the bike get more attention. You start reading and learning more about the benefits of the difference between saddles, position on the bike, tires and wheels. All wheels share the same philosophy how they are made, or as we prefer to call it; how they are built. Wheels are built from the different parts; rims, hubs, spokes and nipples. All wheels are made out of these ingredients (see special paragraph below article) and obviously the level of quality of these parts make a huge difference. What many don’t realize that...
LAW Tech - Laminar Airflow Wing Technology FFWD's proprietary DARC™ ‘Double Arc’ rim profile was developed to be faster than the competition by reducing the drag and creating an optimal airflow around the rim. DARC continues to be one of the fastest rim profiles on the market but was originally designed around a setup with 23mm tires, the longtime standard for many cyclists. As a result of new technology, knowledge and materials riding tubeless has been a key evolution in performance wheels in the last few years. With these developments also came a need for wider tires and the necessity to make wider rims perform better aerodynamically. Simply transferring an existing technology and adjusting it to the current standard does not lead to the best...
