Allround performance rim brake wheels
For those who remain faithful to rim brakes, the F4R FCC is the perfect set of wheels for every day performance rides. Besides these full carbon clincher wheels are as light as a feather, the aerodynamic rim profile also ensures they cut through the wind like a knife.
Modern tubeless ready full carbon DARC rims
The 45mm high carbon rims of the F4R FCC are designed based on the DARC technology. DARC stands for “Double Arc” which refers to the unique wavy rim profile which results in improved aerodynamics. The internal width of the rim is optimized for mounting tyres up to 37mm. By default, the F4R FCC rims are tubeless ready and the wheels are always supplied with tubeless tape mounted and tubeless valves in the box.

Reason enough for FFWD to stay the modern F4R FCC wheels for bicycles with rim brakes available in the collection.

What riders say about F4R FCC
Funsiono pero falló a los 3 años
Funcionan bien las ruedas, muy estables, aunque el rear, rueda trasera es muy ruidosa. le faltaría algo de velocidad. Después de tres años se abrió sola el gancho hook de la orilla de la pista de frenado break. Se ve la fibra de carbón abierta sola sin ninguna caída o golpe. Cuando yo estaba bajando en un descenso comenzó a sonar raro la rueda trasera y se empezó a atascar. cuando llegué abajo y paré revisé la rueda y noté que estaba algo abultado la orilla del hook donde perfila la llanta y la fibra de carbón abierta.
Confidence inspiring.
I have held back on my review, until I had a few hundred Km under the wheels. First impressions, they felt rock solid, no flex or shake even over rough roads. Excelleration is on a par with my Mavics, that got destroyed in a crash. The FFWD hubs have a decent pickup, a bit noisy, not as as bad as Hunt though, a small point. The main reason I bought new wheels was, the atrocious breaking performance of my Yoeleo Carbon wheels, thankfully, these are far superior, being progressive and linear in their feel. Top job FFWD.
Perfect carbon wheelset for beginner
The F4R FCC wheelset was my first carbon wheelset ever (amazing upgrade back in 2020) and I still love them a lot!
