GO FAST. OR FASTER...
For triathletes and Time Trial specialists, every second counts. That’s why we combine our fastest, lightest disc wheel, Falcon RS, with the RAW55.
In our development for the perfect DISC we've spent much time finetuning the details. It resulted in a stunning light disc wheel of only 899 grams. The Falcon RS is built for athletes who demand nothing but peak performance. The addition of CeramicSpeed bearings ensures ultra-low friction and maximum efficiency, turning every watt into pure speed.
The Falcon RS is desgined using our advanced hollow core design with PMI (polymethacrylimide) foam-sandwiched carbon fiber sidewalls. This high-performance structure delivers incredible stiffness-to-weight ratio, allowing for precise power transfer and rock-solid stability at speed and in crosswinds – without compromising on weight.
RAW55 Front Wheel
In this set, we have added to the Falcon RS the RAW55. A front wheel designed to complement the speed, efficiency, and precision of our fastest disc wheel.
The RAW55 is ultra-light, delivers explosive acceleration, and offers sublime handling. Thanks to its 55mm high full carbon rim, it provides the perfect balance between aerodynamics and crosswind stability, making it more stable in side winds compared to deeper 77mm profiles, without compromising on speed.
Equipped with CeramicSpeed bearings, the RAW55 minimizes rolling resistance and maximizes power transfer, giving you every possible advantage in a time trial or triathlon.

What's in the box
What riders say about FALCON RS + RAW 55
Pure Speed
Pure performance. The Falcon RS combines impressive stiffness with a featherlight feel. Every single watt goes straight to the road. Best disc wheel on the market!
FALCON RSFALCON RS + RAW 77
FALCON RS + RAW 77Prachtige wielset
Aan de wielen kan het niet meer liggen en aan de fiets ook niet. Nog nooit zo’n lichte soepellopende tt set gehad. Zin in het seizoen!
Top disc
To get the best out of my performance I have opted for the Falcon RS rear disc. I am very impressed, the best rear disc I’ve ever used. Very stiff, yet super light. I can feel that every pedalstroke goes forward. 5 stars!
