DRIFT - Black Friday 2025

Fully optimized wheels for gravel rides in a Black Friday deal

The DRIFT, what's in the name, is the FFWD's first wheelset designed explicitly for gravel bikes. This first generation DRIFT wheels with an inner width of 24mm makes it possible to fit tires from 30 to 60mm wide. And of course, the DRIFT wheels are fully tubeless ready out of the box.

Because wheels have to suffer a lot during gravel rides, the DRIFT is equipped with thicker spokes for more stability and durability. For the DRIFT we chose the straight pull round spokes, 24 pieces both front and rear. Yet the total weight of the DRIFT wheelset with the FFWD hub is 1620 grams.

Full carbon tubeless ready rims

With a medium rim profile of 36mm high, the DRIFT offers the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort, with great handling as a result. Do you really want to get everything out of your DRIFT wheels? Pick the ultimate experience with tubeless tires. Minimal rolling resistance and a combination of optimum handling and protection at low tire pressures. With the DRIFT you are all set!

Another benefit of the DRIFT rims is the hookless construction. This results in a lower weight and more efficient tire fitting on the rim, which brings you better handling and stability on the bike.

High-end hubs to choose from

Hubs are a critical part, perhaps the most critical part of high-end wheels. The DRIFT wheels allow you to choose our own branded FFWD hubs, which offer you very solid and reliable technology without compromising on quality and durability.

Do you want to save extra weight? Then we offer you the option to choose DT240 hubs with the improved EXP ratchet system!
