When every second counts, when the surface is unpredictable, and when your riding demands versatility without sacrifice—the FFWD RYOT44 is the answer. Born from relentless innovation and real-world performance testing, this wheelset has become FFWD's #1 all-rounder for good reason. Whether you're sprinting to the line, powering up steep climbs, or taming rough, fast descents, the RYOT44 ensures that your bike becomes an extension of your ambition.
At its core is the revolutionary LAW Tech (Laminar Airflow Wing) rim profile—an aerodynamic design breakthrough that redefines how wheels interact with air. LAW Tech was created to optimize airflow around wider tires (like 28–32mm), ensuring ultra-low drag and high crosswind stability without compromising ride comfort. The result is a wheel that doesn't just cut through the wind—it rides with it.
With a rim depth of 44mm, the RYOT44 hits the aerodynamic sweet spot—deep enough for race-day aero gains, shallow enough for responsiveness on twisty climbs and accelerations. The 21mm internal rim width is designed to complement modern, wider road tires, enhancing grip, lowering rolling resistance, and improving ride compliance across cobbles, asphalt, and even light gravel.
Weighing just 1520g per set, the RYOT44 is remarkably lightweight for a disc brake wheelset, translating to explosive acceleration and razor-sharp handling. Whether you're surging off the front in a breakaway or dancing up switchbacks, this wheelset rewards every watt with forward momentum.
The centerlock disc brake configuration combined with 12x100mm (front) and 12x142mm (rear) thru-axles ensures maximum braking precision and frame stiffness compatibility across all modern road bikes. Built with 24 spokes front and rear, the wheelset offers exceptional torsional stiffness and reliability—ideal for riders pushing limits in every terrain.
Underneath it all, the RYOT44 runs on a Shimano/SRAM Hyperglide 10/11-speed freehub system, delivering smooth, precise drivetrain integration and efficient power transfer with minimal resistance.
As with all FFWD wheels, the RYOT44 is hand-built in the Netherlands, ensuring tight tolerances, balanced spoke tensions, and wheel integrity that outperforms machine-built competitors. Each set ships tubeless-ready, giving you the flexibility to ride with lower pressures and reduced flat risk, or stick with clincher tires if you prefer a classic setup.
This is a wheelset that was not made to follow trends—it was made to set standards.
