Gravel wheels promotion

This special offer is to make our dedicated gravel wheels more accessible at a price. Benefit from the DRIFT rims which are hookless and made with enforced carbon layup for those unexpected impacts. This promo set is built with center lock compatible FFWD 2:1 hubs and round Sapim Sprint spokes.

Fully optimised for gravel rides

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

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.

Customize your DRIFT wheels with decals in unique colors

The standard decals in shiny black naturally look good on any bike. But imagine your DRIFT wheels with custom decals in colors that perfectly match your bike. How cool is that! Especially for this DRIFT wheelset, we have custom decals available that you can easily apply yourself.


  • DRIFT wheelset (front and rear)
  • Pre-installed tubeless tape
  • Tubeless valves
  • Disc rotors are not included!

What riders say about DRIFT SPECIAL OFFER

Completely satisfied

I installed the wheels on Wednesday, I have already lost more than 850G compared to before on my gravel, but the first observation is that the wheels improve the handling and maximize grip and control, I am completely satisfied.

Great job thanks! But better use DHL within Germany. I had to pick up the delivery at UPS logistics center, in order to get it 1day delayed. Otherwise the delivery would have been shifted to the comming weeek
