For purists who still believe in the precision, control, and weight advantages of rim brakes, the FFWD F4R FCC is your everyday carbon companion built for speed, performance, and reliability. With its 45mm deep aerodynamic carbon rim, featherlight construction, and proven braking technology, this wheelset brings modern racing performance to the classic rim brake platform.

The Rim Brake Renaissance – Precision Meets Progress

Rim brake loyalists know the feeling: the immediate response, the lighter setup, the mechanical simplicity. The F4R FCC (Full Carbon Clincher) builds on this tradition while infusing it with next-gen aerodynamics and tubeless compatibility, creating a wheelset that’s as forward-thinking as it is faithful to its roots. Whether you’re riding alpine climbs, sweeping descents, or fast-paced group rides, the F4R FCC delivers buttery-smooth handling and sharp responsiveness with a level of efficiency rim brake fans crave.

DARC Aerodynamics – Cut Through the Wind

What truly sets the F4R FCC apart is its DARC (Double Arc) aerodynamic rim profile, specially shaped to optimize airflow in both headwinds and crosswinds. This 45mm rim height offers the ideal depth for all-around performance, giving you:

• Wind-cutting speed on the flats

• Confident control in variable wind conditions

• Minimal drag at high yaw angles

In short: it’s not just fast—it’s predictably fast. A true “one-wheelset-does-it-all” solution for riders who want aero advantage without the weight penalty or the twitchiness of deeper rims.

Featherlight Build – Float Up the Climbs

Weighing in at just 1,610 grams per set, the F4R FCC is built for elevation gains. Its carbon fiber layup is engineered for maximal stiffness-to-weight ratio, meaning you’ll feel every watt transfer directly into forward motion—especially when climbing out of the saddle or hammering in a breakaway.

Add in the 20/24 spoke configuration (front/rear) and you get a wheelset that strikes the perfect balance between agility, durability, and comfort over rough tarmac.

3K Nano Brake Technology – Confident Stopping Power

Where many carbon rim brake wheels falter, the F4R FCC excels. Equipped with 3K Nano Brake Technology, these wheels offer outstanding modulation, heat dissipation, and braking consistency, even on long descents or in wet conditions. Pair them with high-performance carbon-specific pads, and you'll experience rim braking at its peak—predictable, powerful, and precise.

Tubeless Ready, Road Ready

Go tubeless or stick to inner tubes—the F4R FCC is fully tubeless ready, giving you the freedom to:

• Run lower pressures for enhanced grip and comfort

• Reduce the risk of pinch flats

• Improve rolling resistance for longer rides

The 19mm internal rim width is optimized for modern road tires, particularly 25–28mm sizes, ensuring a stable footprint and better aerodynamic integration.

Designed for Everyday Excellence

Whether you’re targeting a Gran Fondo, fast-paced training sessions, or an ambitious race calendar, the F4R FCC gives you uncompromising performance day in and day out. Built by hand with precision in the Netherlands, these wheels are designed to endure whatever your ride throws at them—steep climbs, technical descents, and full-gas sprints.
