In time trials and triathlons, success is measured in seconds—or fractions thereof. And when you're racing the clock, nothing is left to chance. Enter the FFWD DISC-T, a purpose-built rear disc wheel engineered for the sole objective of maximizing aerodynamic efficiency, stability, and speed. Every contour, every material choice, and every gram is optimized for one thing only: to help you win.
Built for Wind-Crushing Performance
The DISC-T is an uncompromising aerodynamic weapon. Unlike conventional spoked wheels, the disc design eliminates air turbulence and dramatically reduces drag, especially at yaw angles where crosswinds typically rob cyclists of speed and control. The wheel’s seamless surface channels wind smoothly around the rear of the bike, helping you maintain maximum velocity with minimum resistance.
Crafted entirely from high-grade carbon fiber, the FFWD DISC-T remains feather-light at just 985g, while still maintaining structural stiffness for elite-level power transfer. When you're hammering in the aero position, there’s no delay—every watt you push goes straight to the tarmac.
Featherweight Yet Rock-Solid
Despite its svelte weight, the DISC-T is incredibly stiff. This stiffness ensures direct, efficient transmission of rider power, making it the ideal choice for solo efforts where pacing, rhythm, and drive are paramount. No energy is lost in flex, no power is wasted. Just clean, smooth, relentless speed.
Its low weight also contributes to quicker acceleration, ideal for courses with technical sections, punchy climbs, or fast starts right off the line. You’ll feel the difference in responsiveness, particularly when coming out of corners or transitioning between effort zones in triathlon segments.
Total Stability, Absolute Control
Disc wheels often raise concerns about handling in windy conditions—but the FFWD DISC-T is engineered to remain stable in variable crosswinds. The wheel profile and layup have been tuned to provide a neutral handling feel, reducing wobble and rider input fatigue, so you stay locked in your aero position longer and more confidently.
This balance of aerodynamic supremacy and handling safety is what separates the DISC-T from others in the category. Whether it’s a windy coastal triathlon or a twisty time trial, this wheel offers razor-sharp control and steady performance from start to finish.
Precision Compatibility
The FFWD DISC-T is centerlock disc brake compatible, providing smooth, reliable stopping power in all conditions—a must-have for technical courses or unexpected weather changes. It pairs best with tubular tires, the preferred choice of professionals for their superior rolling resistance, ride quality, and pinch flat resistance.
Note: This model is not tubeless compatible, as it prioritizes maximum performance with tubular-specific carbon construction.
