CBT: CONFIDENCE BRAKE TECHNOLOGY

At FFWD Wheels we are constantly working on improvement of our products. In this process of product deve- lopment we learned that the combination of compounds will make the difference between good or great. As techniques develop quickly it remains a continuous process at FFWD Wheels!

FFWD Wheels applies three different brake track layers depending on the type of rim or type of use.

CBT BBS
All FFWD tubular (road) rims have a Basalt brake surface (BBS). Reducing heat production and improving brake performance in combination with the supplied SwissStop black prince brake pads.

CBT 1.5
Based on 1.5k CARBON structure in combination with High TG Custom Compound Resin. Increasing braking power by 30% in all conditions, more durable and doesn’t make noise while braking.

CBT 3H
The F3R FCC has an exclusive brake surface. Mixing three different composites and a copper layer with a High TG Resin enables fast heat reduction and high brake efficiency. Durable and capable of higher tire pressure.

OUTLAW XC DT350

The new FFWD OUTLAW Cross Country wheels will make you go faster!

Technique

The full carbon tubeless rim enables you to ride with low tire pressures and therefore keep maximum control over your bike. The asymmetric spoke setup and three cross pattern offer furthermore a great mix of stiffness and responsiveness.

DT Swiss

All FFWD wheel sets, including the new OUTLAW, are built with DT Swiss hubs. The DT350 hubs are the best based on price and quality. High-end DT Swiss hubs with star ratchet system and low rolling resistance.

Cross Country use

Cross Country wheels are mostly used by MTB riders that choose a suspension system with 80 to 120mm of travel. The focus is on racing and climbing is more important so therefore also the wish for a low weight!
All options are available depending on your bike specs. Go for 29 or 27,5 inch and standard or boost hub width.

Development

In our development process over two years we have searched and considered different specs and configurations that would meet our high standards in comparison to the products we deliver. Different models went into the field under the bikes of hard core MTB riders facing all possible surfaces and obstacles. These tests delivered confidence that the FFWD OUTLAW wheels will make you go faster, go further or even go anywhere…
