OVERVIEW

With a performance road wheel range suitable for light gravel use we also saw the growing demand for gravel specific wheel sets.  The DRIFT PACE is engineered to keep you charging ahead, no matter the terrain.  These wheels don’t just look fast with their sleek 48mm deep rims—they are fast. Paired with a generous 28mm internal width, they strike the perfect balance between aerodynamic performance and all-day comfort. Whether you’re running 38mm or 60mm tires, the DRIFT PACE delivers a smooth, confident ride.  And of course, they’re fully tubeless-ready right out of the box—because performance should never wait.

Durability and Handling
Engineered for the wildest rides, DRIFT gravel wheels are built to conquer any terrain with confidence. A unique carbon layup boosts impact resistance, while the hookless rim design delivers unbeatable strength, perfect for racing, exploring, or going full send off the beaten path. With reinforced rear spokes for extra stability and durability, these wheels are tough where it counts. And at just 1,450 grams, the DRIFT PACE wheelset keeps things light, fast, and ready for adventure..

Components include Sapim CX Ray and CX Ray Sprint straightpull spokes and 15mm DT Swiss Prolock external brass nipples in a 2:1 lacing pattern paired with the DT Swiss 240 EXP straight pull centerlock disc brake hubs featuring 36 tooth ratchet system with 10 degrees of engagement (F: 12/100mm, R: 12/142mm).

The DRIFT PACE is also available with FFWD N/GAGE hub here.

Hookless Rim Design
The DRIFT PACE hookless rim features an internal width of 28mm, compatible with all tubeless tires and offers the use of a broad range of tire options from minimum 38mm up to 60mm with a maximum tire pressure of 50 psi/3.5 bar.

While weight is not the most important specification, the DRIFT PACE wheel set comes in at a mere 1530 grams on the scale.  As with all FFWD Wheels the DRIFT PACE comes as a complete package with 32mm tubeless tape and tubeless valves in a protective FFWD padded wheel bag.
