For riders who crave pure speed and are unafraid to command attention, the FFWD RAW 55 is your invitation to ride bolder, stronger, and faster. This is more than just a wheelset—it's a performance statement built for high-wattage riders, breakaway tacticians, and those who leave nothing in reserve. Engineered with carbon spokes and deep-section carbon rims, the RAW 55 delivers a brutal combination of stiffness, speed, and aerodynamic supremacy—without compromise.
At the heart of this wheel lies a 55mm hooked, full carbon clincher rim, meticulously shaped using FFWD’s proprietary LAW Tech (Laminar Airflow Wing) profile. Developed specifically to optimize airflow around wider tires, this aerodynamic profile minimizes drag at every yaw angle while enhancing stability in crosswinds. It’s not just wind tunnel fast—it’s real-world fast, race after race.
But what truly sets the RAW 55 apart is its carbon spoke construction—a rarity even in the high-end wheel market. These spokes don’t just save weight; they deliver unmatched lateral stiffness and direct power transfer, meaning every watt you push through the pedals is converted into unrelenting forward motion. For the rider, this translates to sharper handling, faster sprints, and a more confident ride at high speeds.
Despite the deep aero profile, the RAW 55 maintains an impressively low weight of just 1460g, offering a level of agility and responsiveness usually reserved for climbing wheelsets. Whether you’re launching attacks on the flats or accelerating out of corners, this wheelset responds with ferocity.
Designed for 700c clincher tires and tubeless ready from the factory, the RAW 55 is tuned for modern road racing. The 21mm internal rim width supports today’s wider tire profiles (25–32mm), enabling improved grip, reduced rolling resistance, and a smoother ride—even on the roughest tarmac.
The wheelset is built around Centerlock disc brake compatibility with 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles, ensuring seamless integration with modern performance road bikes and delivering exceptional braking modulation and reliability under pressure.
Every RAW 55 set is hand-built in the Netherlands, the hallmark of FFWD’s world-class quality. From spoke tension to rim finish, no detail is overlooked. Adorned with UV-protected decals, the RAW 55 looks as fast as it rides—resisting sun fade and scuffs while adding visual authority to your build.
