When aerodynamics and stiffness must align for total road domination, the FFWD RYOT 55 stands out as the ultimate all-rounder with a racing soul. The fastest in the RYOT lineup during wind tunnel testing, this wheelset is designed to conquer every wind angle, cut through gusts with unwavering stability, and deliver brute speed with no compromises. It's the wheel of choice for cyclists who race to win, not just to finish.
Engineered to Finish the Job – Fast
At the heart of the RYOT 55 is its 55mm full carbon rim, shaped by FFWD’s exclusive LAW Tech (Laminar Airflow Wing) design. This rim profile is meticulously sculpted to smooth airflow around the wheel—even when running wider, modern tires—reducing drag and boosting aerodynamic efficiency in all directions. While other deep-section wheels might only shine in perfect conditions, the RYOT 55 excels in the real-world wind—whether it’s a tailwind, headwind, or brutal crosswind.
The result? A wheelset that not only saves watts but also improves stability, confidence, and handling at high speeds—especially crucial during aggressive race-day moves, solo breakaways, or intense sprint lead-outs.
Ultra-Light and Lightning-Fast
Despite its deep 55mm aero profile, the RYOT 55 remains remarkably lightweight and responsive. Its 24 front and 24 rear spoke layout, built around high-precision hubs, ensures an exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio. This translates into instant acceleration and unmatched lateral stiffness—a trait that sprinters and powerful riders will appreciate when putting the hammer down.
Every watt of your power is transferred efficiently to the road. Whether you’re climbing at speed, descending with confidence, or launching a final sprint—the RYOT 55 simply responds.
Modern Tubeless-Ready Design
With a 21mm internal rim width, the RYOT 55 is optimized for modern performance tires and designed to support tubeless setups. Run lower pressures for reduced rolling resistance and increased puncture resistance, while enjoying a smoother, more controlled ride. The hooked clincher design adds versatility, allowing compatibility with a wide range of premium road tires for different conditions and goals.
Disc Brake Ready for Precision Handling
Spec’d with Centerlock disc brake compatibility, 12x100mm front and 12x142mm rear thru-axles, the RYOT 55 offers exceptional braking modulation and power, even under wet conditions or heavy descents. This provides superior control—vital when cornering hard or braking late in tight crits and road races.
Precision Hand-Built in the Netherlands
As with all FFWD wheels, the RYOT 55 is hand-built in Holland by master wheel builders who inspect, tension, and true every spoke with surgical accuracy. The result is a wheelset that’s not only race-ready out of the box but durable enough for everyday abuse. Adorned with UV-protected decals, they also keep their sleek, stealthy appearance intact ride after ride.
