When beauty meets your best allround performance
Carbon rims with 44 mm height in front and 55 mm height in the back are known as the best combination in the peloton for handling skills and advantages in aerodynamics. The RAW 55-44 delivers performance exactly where and when it is needed. Regardless of the road you ride on. Super handling skills, aerodynamic to cut through the wind and super stiff for your best sprint effort.
Thanks to carbon spokes and CeramicSpeed wheel bearings, RAW is synonymous for maximum efficiency and exclusivity.
Custom hubs with CeramicSpeed inside
Carbon spokes ask for a special hub design. These level of wheels ask for ceramic bearings. For our custom designed hubs we partnered with CeramicSpeed.
CeramicSpeed bearings elevate the performance of the wheels in terms of weight, durability and minimum rolling resistance. As usual this FFWD hub always have an internal ratchet system which enrich the level of performance.
Our new RAW becomes a true family
Being the allrounder the RAW 44 is just in the middle between the lower RAW 33 and bigger brother RAW 55. This makes the combinatie of RAW 44 in front en RAW 55 in the rear the perfect option.
Completely new in this top notch family is the option to choose your finish. Within the minimalistic design you can choose a classic matt or exclusive and really stylish glossy finish. Depending on the best combination with your bike or personal preference you can make yourself really stand out!
We've got you covered
Just in case; we have stock of all spare-parts. You can find all carbon spokes here. For the hubs we have an easy overview of the front hub and rear hub to find the part you might need.

What riders say about RAW 55-44
TOP wielen
Op 12 april heb ik bij Math Salden de RAW 55 wielen van FFWD gekocht. Wat een TOP-wielen, dit in vergelijking met de ZIP-wielen die ik eerst had. De RAW 55 wielen van FFWD hebben een mooie ingetogen uitstraling. Ik heb nu 800 KM gereden met deze wielen. De rijeigenschappen zijn perfect, in de sprint, de bochten, bergop en op de vlakke weg reageren deze wielen direct. Ook ervaar ik, dat ik minder last heb van zijwind. Groetjes jeebee.
