These wheels transform all energy into speed

The RYOT55 is made to Go Fast. It’s a choice for sprinters who look for extra stiffness while saving watts during their ride.

The 55mm high rims offer great looks and perfect stiffness which translates your power into speed. Constant improvements in our rim manufacturing process result in significant weight reductions. This set only weighs 1510 grams in the DT240 hub configuration. The perfect combination of aerodynamics and stiffness to be used in flat races or group rides.

Weight gains without sacrificing durability

While chasing weight gains we never compromise on durability. That's why you won't find miniscule bearings or aluminium nipples, but we use brass nipples instead. Our guarantee your wheels will last a long time. 

Staying true to our philosophy on hooked rims for road wheels the RYOT now have a 23mm internal rim width. Perfect to fit wider tires and to choose whatever type or brand of tire you prefer.

Choose your hubs

The FFWD N/GAGE hubs are completely redesigned to shave off extra weight. Based on ratchet internals these hubs offer you the best price/quality ratio. If you’re looking for the last marginal gains you can save a bit more weight when opting for the DT240 EXP hubs.

For all our hubs and wheels we keep stock of spare parts. For example body’s, bearings and spokes. All hubs are compatible for 12 x 100mm thru-axles (front), 12 x 142mm (rear) and have a center lock disc rotor fitting.

What riders say about RYOT 55

RYOT 55

RYOT 55

My go to wheelsss

They are light and feel smooth! I use them for hilly bike courses in triathlon and in my roadbike. Price/quality is amazing!

RYOT 55

Ready for whatever you throw st them

Bullet-proof (especially with the 240 hubs), fast, as well as radiating confidence even in the harshest of cross-wind scenarios. Plus: They woosh absolutely gloriously. Looking forward to riding on these for years to come.

zeer tevreden over deze wielset

RYOT 55

High speed high comfort!

I had to replace my previous rims due to a crash. The crash replacement program pulled me over the line to go for these wheels. After 3 rides (220km) on them, I must say the wheels feel very comfortable on the bad Belgian roads compared to my precious wheels, without loosing speed. So far, a happy customer!

Geweldige fiets met de daarbij behorende wielen

Top wielen!

Wielen gemaakt voor snelheid! Prima wegligging, en niet onbelangrijk een mooie upgrade van de fiets. Aflevering prima verzorgd!

Ryot 55 N/gage

Na eerst met grote tevredenheid met de Tyro 1 te hebben gefietst, nu over gestapt op de Ryot 55. Ik vind het Top wielen, ze rijden super strak en geven geen krimp onder volle belasting.

RYOT 55

Geweldige upgrade

Na lang wikken en wegen tussen verschillende wielsets uiteindelijk de keuze gemaakt voor een set Ryot 55’s. Dit is een schot in de roos gebleken. Ze rollen heerlijk en zijn lekker aerodynamisch. En ondanks de hoogte is de zijwind gevoeligheid beperkt. Echt een aan te raden upgrade!

RYOT 55

Best choice

Was i doubt for a long time between the 44 and 55 Ryot, especially given the sidewind effects. I still choose the 55, which are no problem at all, i weigh 81 kg, and even with the windy coast were i mostly ride, it hgandles like a charm. Very happy with it, and for me also looks are important, the 55 look awesome !

RYOT 55

Great upgrade

Was riding Canyon Aeroad with stock wheels. Looked around and landed on ffwd. The wheels are a real upgrade. They’re steady on the road with great aero gains, especially at higher speeds. Happy with the upgrade and de 55’s. Great service from FFWD in delivery.

RYOT 55

Fantastische upgrade

Een wielset van FFWD is veruit de beste upgrade voor je fiets. De Ryots rollen heerlijk en willen echt vooruit. Vooral op snelheid merk je een wereld van verschil.

RYOT 55

Topset

Heel goed gevoel,stijf wielset 240 naven topgeluid

RYOT 55

I predicted a RYOT

Superb wheels, slick, light, and the customer service I received (shoutout to Steven) was very friendly and informative. My only small nitpick is that FFWD have done away with their older (in my opinion, better looking) decal design, but that's purely ascetics.

RYOT 55

Super wielen

Top wielen echt een upgrade van je fiets.

RYOT 55

Amazing wheels

Amazing team,amazing wheels.thank you very much ffwd.

RYOT 55

Echt top wielen!

Ik reed eerst met de RYOT 44, nu overgestapt naar de RYOT 55. Echt top wielen, super stijf en de band bolt mooi op de velg. Meer dan tevreden.

RYOT 55

Absolutely thrilled ...

The wheels look absolutely stunning and the feeling while driving is outstanding.

Ryot 55

Beste wielset dat ik al mee gereden heb

RYOT 55

Tubeless tape zat niet lucht dicht

Bij het voor het eerst gebruiken van de wielen nadat ik ze tubeless had gemaakt, kwam er lucht uit de luchtgaatjes lopen in de velg. Zit nu een binnenband in, maar wss is de tape dus niet geheel lucht dicht. Verder echt super!

RYOT 55

Super, snelle service en top materiaal!!

RYOT 55

Wielen rijden top

Ik rijd er criteriums en omlopen mee. Bij andere wielen vaak problemen. De wielen blijven heel en recht. Ze rijden en sturen super zowel met droog en nat weer. De service is ook prettig. Direct geholpen toen ik even langs reed.

RYOT 55

Great and fast wheels

he RYOT 55 wheels are an absolute gamechanger! The combination of tubeless tires makes riding even more comfortable and provides extra grip. The wheels are incredibly stiff and respond instantly to every pedal, making them perfect for both fast sprints, long stretches as well as climbs. In addition, they are surprisingly light, allowing me to gain speed with ease. They really make me feel like I'm one step ahead of the competition. In short, these wheels are fast, responsive and make any ride a lot more dynamic!

FFWD Ryot 55 DT240 naaf wielset

Zojuist een heerlijk fietsweekendje Teutoburgerwald afgerond met mijn nieuwe Ryot wielset! Superblij dat ik de keuze heb gemaakt voor deze set. De naven zijn ontzettend soepel, zoals gewend van DT Swiss en de stijfheid van de wielset is subliem. Dalen met deze hoge velgen voelen erg vertrouwd en stabiel (ook met zijwaartse windvlagen), sprinten is een genot. Het is geen klimmers setje, maar voor mijn type renner (type "sprinter", 95 kg schoon aan de haak; zo-snel-mogelijk-bordje-leeg sprinter, niet het echte type sprinter) hoeft dat ook niet. Op het vlakke merk ik het verschil duidelijk in aerodynamica ten opzichte van een 30/35 mm hoge velg, zeker met een cross-wind. Wat voor mij de doorslag heeft gegeven voor FFWD t.o.z. ander merken? A. Een rondleiding door het pand, en kennis maken met product en medewerkers. Dit gaf mij vertrouwen in product en bedrijf. B. Het ten alle tijde kunnen leveren en repareren van de wielset i.v.m. in-house equipment (dat is wel anders bij andere merken. C. Het kopen bij een Nederlands bedrijf/in Nederland gemaakt product i.p.v. een buitenlandse bedrijf. Keep up the good work @FFWD

RYOT 55

Excellent stable and stiff wheels

When I was looking for new wheels for my Orbea Orca Aero, I wanted something with a wider rim than I had previously, to work better with 28mm tyres. I also wanted something with DT Swiss hubs, so that I can get spare parts anywhere in the world. These wheels deliver on all accounts, and then some. They are noticably stiffer than my old 50mm carbon wheels, handle crosswinds better, and a 28mm GP5000 measures at approximately 29mm. I could not be happier with my choice.

RYOT 55

Fast & Light

Super wielen! Ondanks de hoogte zeer goed te controleren met zijwind. Tevens een lichte set om ook heuvel op veel plezier van te hebben.

RYOT 55

my new wheels

Despite of the long time of waiting, I finally received your wheels in good shape. I put them directly on my bike and try them and It's the best feeling I'd ever have.

RYOT 55

Super fast

Best wheels i ever owned. In descent they feel extremely confident. Very good airflow and relatively unsensitive to sidewind. Very nice sounding body

RYOT 55

De kracht van vertrouwen maakt onrust tot rust!!

Ik fiets veel in Mallorca. De kustweg in het Tramuntana gebergte, van Andratx naar Valdemossa is een van mijn favoriete routes. Prachtig strak asfalt afgewisseld door slechte stukken asfalt. Af en toe kan het best hard waaien vanaf zee. De wind heeft dan vrij spel. Mijn Roval wielen vervangen door een setje FFWD Ryot 55. Man wat een genot!! Bij het (staand) klimmen blijven de wielen strak op hun plaats. Geen extra last van zijwind en in de afdaling strak als een mes. Geweldige rij-eigenschappen!!! Een aanrader!

RYOT 55

Responsive and great handling!

Having used many different wheel brands over the last few years, I thought there weren't many surprises left. However, there were a few very positive ones, and I am happy I discovered them! Having used the RYOT 55 wheelset now for 4 weeks and, I can share only positive feedback. Responsive in every acceleration, easy to handle with a solid crosswind, and pretty pleased with the weight, keeps my bike nicely under the 7.6 kgs.

RYOT 55

I'm absolutely in love with these brand new RYOT 55 DT240 wheels

Rolling at high-speed is seemingly effortless. When accelerating out of the corners and sprinting, they feel stunningly stiff and responsive. Not to forget, cross winds do not seem to have any effect on the superb handling. Wide rims allow for wider tyres which give you all the confidence in the world to tackle your next race. For me, they are the ideal weapon for triathlon drafting races.

RYOT 55

Great wheels of Fire

I really like the Ryott 55 they are super fast en stiff!
