OVERVIEW
You want the best of the best, no compromises, aerodynamic, light and fast. The new RAW33 is the wheel set for you!
Striving to produce the best wheels on the market, we redesigned the RAW rim and combined it with the highest quality components including carbon bladed spokes and CeramicSpeed bearings to achieve the optimum result.
In an evolving world of wider tires for multi-surface racing and riding wheel aerodynamics have adapted. With this concept the RAW33 features FFWD’s proven LAW Tech aerodynamic profile. LAW is short for ‘Laminar Airflow Wing’ and has been specifically developed to deliver better aerodynamics when using wider tire widths up to 42mm by creating a smooth airflow over the rim and tire interface.
The RAW33 is a 700c hooked tubeless ready carbon clincher rim with a 21mm internal width, 33mm depth and 30mm external width. Compatible with standard clincher (tubes) and tubeless clincher setups.
Testing multiple layups and setups have led to the optimum combination of stiffness, aerodynamics and weight.
Push Your Limits to the Highest Peaks
No doubt the RAW33 will make you perform like the king of the mountains. Every detail is driven to ride faster, easier and more efficiently. Especially when it goes uphill. The RAW33 set comes in at a scant 1350 grams.
Carbon bladed spokes deliver perfect balanced stiffness forcing the wheels to instantly transfer power when standing on the pedals.
FFWD Hub with CeramicSpeed Inside
Carbon spokes require a special hub design. This level of wheel demands ceramic bearings. For our custom designed hubs FFWD partnered with CeramicSpeed.
The RAW is built with a newly developed and lighter weight FFWD ratchet hub with CeramicSpeed bearings. Straight pull spokes, center-lock rotor interface, 12mm thru axle hubs (12/100mm, 12/142mm) featuring a 36 tooth ratchet system offering 10 degrees of engagement for quick and crisp shifting and a 17% increase in stiffness.
Components include carbon aero-bladed spokes and Hex 5.5mm internal nipples.
The RAW33 is available in matte or gloss black and with Shimano/SRAM 10-12 speed, SRAM XDR and Campagnolo 11-12 speed freehub options.
