Meet the third generation TYRO! 

We keep developing, at every level, to make sure our most accessible wheelset stays true to what FFWD is all about: performance, durability and real value.

The result: a TYRO that's lighter, faster and more versatile.

New rims: more aero, more allroad

The new TYRO features an updated rim profile with improved aerodynamics and a 23mm internal width. Resulting in a more allroad wheelset. TYRO has always been a popular choice for gravel bikes, but is now even more suitable as it comfortably fits tires up to 45mm.

Importantly, the TYRO maintains a hooked rim design. This ensures maximum compatibility and safety, allowing you to run almost any tire brand, tubeless or with inner tube, at the pressure that suits your ride, whether you're on smooth tarmac or chunky gravel.

New N/LITE Hubs

For the new TYRO we developed a new FFWD hub, N/LITE. It shares key DNA features of its bigger brother, the N/GAGE hub, used in RYOT and DRIFT. For example grams are saved through smart enginering of the hub shell design, without compromising reliability.

Internally these hubs keep our trusted ratchet system with a new 18T system, providing fast engagement and superior durability compared to the pawl systems typically found in this price range.

Lighter wheels

The rim and hub updates result in a significant weight reduction of 100 grams on the new TYRO. A serious performance upgrade for enthusiastic cyclists who are ready for the next step.

Aankoop bij Sirocco

Heel tevreden van dit wielset voor mijn Ridley racefiets

Prima wielen. Maken weinig geluid.

Prima wielen. Maken weinig geluid, gezoem/geruis dat je wel eens bij andere carbon velgen hoort.

Nicely priced upgrade from alloy wheels

Nicely priced upgrade from alloy wheels. My first set of carbon wheels, so I can only compare them to the previous alloy set; I installed them on my bike with 40mm schwalbe gravel tyres. The tyres were a pain to fit, but I'm not sure if that's because of the tyres or the rims. The wheels are a lot faster, especially on asphalt and when accelerating. They feel more stable as well, even on twisty singletrack or bumpy descents. A bit less stable with strong winds from the side, but not as bad as I would've thought beforehand.

Eerste carbon set

Ik rij al een paar jaar op een zwart matte Cannondale Synapse. Fiets is volledig carbon behalve de wielen. Zoveel al gelezen en gehoord over een upgrade van je fiets. Dus na al die informatie op zoek gegaan naar carbon wielen set. Op de site van FFWD kwam ik de Tyros tegen. De prijs was goed en ze zagen er mooi en strak uit. Besteld en gemonteerd. Fiets is gelijk in waarde gestegen maar ook het rij comfort is aanzienlijk toegenomen. Wat rijd dat heerlijk zo een carbon set.

TYRO

Tyro

Fijne en zeer mooie wielen. Voor een goede prijs.

TYRO

Such an upgrade!

For my Specialized Roubaix I wanted to make an upgrade. The bike itself is older, but everything is great. The positioning, the quality, the weight... So instead of looking for a new bike, I invested in some good looking rims.

TYRO

Echt genieten om te rijden met deze Tyro's

een aanrader.

TYRO

Driving with the new rims is just great. They look very cool

but also feel good. The bumps in the road get absorbed nicely.

Mega happy!

Sinds vorige week in het bezit van de FFWDTYRO velgen. &mygod wat een looks😍.

Absolutely Great...

A quite unique wheelset..

TYRO

Perfekt wheelset for all conditions

I ride the wheels on my gravel bike and my racing bike and am more than impressed with the quality and robustness. The wheels impress both on fast descents and on technical gravel sections.

TYRO

TOP

Excellent wheels, materials and smoothness super TOP

Geweldige wielen, echt een upgrade

What a pair of wheels! Really cool, very stiff, top qualitity without having to sell a kidney!very fast and secure!like them a lot! recomended!

TYRO

Degelijk

Een paar ritjes gereden met de gravelfiets en deze wielen. Ze bollen goed. Tot nu toe niks op aan te merken.

TYRO

FFWD Tyro

I put these wheels on my gravel bike to see if it turns out well for road cycling and I have to say the feeling is amazing. They swoosh like crazy and the ratchet sound made me instantly the coolest kid om the block. They are fast!

TYRO

I have some red decals

but maybe I leave the wheels fully black. Still thinking about that...

TYRO

Fast and sharp

Great wheels. Did not expect them to make such a difference in speed. Besides speed, they pick on the power very quick and enable you to take corners as sharp as razorblade.

TYRO

Nice wheels

Hele fijne wielen, die een geweldig stuurresultaat (door)geven, een stuk lichter dan mijn originele Canyon Grail wielen. Blij dat ik tot aanschaf van deze wielen ben overgegaan.

Zeer fijne en mooie wielen. Snel geleverd!

My new wheels completely changed the look of my bike. I'm excited.

Buenas ruedas

Buenas ruedas!!! Se ven bien construidas y de calidad.

Top wielset.

Geweldige hulp bij aankoop en na sevice. Zien er prachtig uit en rijden nog beter dan ik dacht. Heel te vreden met mijn aankoop. Een aanrader voor gravel en weg combinatie.

Sehr schöner Laufradsatz, perfekt.

Great wheelset

I bought these wheels in England and I've been riding with them on my Kuota for about 2 years. I love them. They are responsive and just great looking. Yes, I do still ride rim brake and the braking is good and put to the test when I took a corner at about 45km/h on a slight descent to find a farmer herding his cattle across the road. Not the best braking in wet but that's expexted so I simply just slow down and brake earlier just like in a car. I ride in Barbados which is relatively flat with some rolling hills so the descents don't require too much high speed braking whereas some of the descents flatten out or lead into a short climb. I also ride in Montenegro which is very mountainous. I do some long epic climbs where I will have my wife meet me at the top and put the bike in the car so I don't wear out the brake surface on the descents which usually consist of many tight or hairpin turns. Having said that during a nice descent in Barbados with more flowing corners I maxed out at 74km/h so they are very good at high speed.

De WTB gravelbanden gingen vlot op de velgen

ik rij met binnenbanden.

Fast delivery

Received my decals in 3 days to the UAE. Wasn’t expecting my item that fast. Decals are great plus they give you an extra 2 decals just in case. Super easy to use

TYRO

Had deze eerder moeten aanschaffen. Bevalt prima

TYRO

Awesome rims

super fast wheelset stiff really nice to steer with, recommend to everyone ffwd

TYRO

Sterk!

Ik heb de set gekozen omdat deze betaalbaar is, de wielen super sterk zijn, en nog steeds een mooi gewicht hebben. Zelf de decals kiezen is top, ik heb goud! Meerdere ritten gedaan die eigenlijk voor MTB waren maar de Tyro sloeg zich er met gemak doorheen en lopen nog steeds kaarsrecht.

TYRO

Mijn gouden TYRO's rollen als de beste en vallen ook heel erg op!

Dit is mijn eerste carbon wielset omdat ik pas net op de racefiets rij. Ze rijden echt super, zoveel verschil met de zware aluminium wielen die oorspronkelijk in mijn Orbea Alma zaten. En bij de wedstrijden zeggen veel mensen dat ze m'n wielen zo gaaf vinden, dat komt natuurlijk ook omdat FFWD er in het goud op staat :-)

TYRO

Perfect buy!

I love the wheels and the design is perfect! Yes, maybe it is a little heavier in comparison with another entry wheel set... but only 100gr, nothing that will change my ride. For me they are super stiff at riding moment, the hubs not only sound amazing, they are really smooth. For example 1 week of riding 300km and never getting out of center or loose spokes, on a ride I hit a hole and nothing happened to the wheel, the wheels responded perfectly.

TYRO

Strong enough for tandem

We were looking for a pair of wheel wich are really strong, because we are two riders pushing a lot of Watts. We chose Tyro wheels for their stiffness. Now we have done more than 5000k with them and there are like the same day. We have ridden in flat roads, hilly mountains, long descends and this wheels work good in all the locations. In addition, Tyro wheels are really good looking not only as training wheels, otherwise as racing wheels too!

TYRO

Very happy with the TYRO

Besides the fact that I like to see high wheels in a bike I also notice the technical difference compared to my previous alloy wheel set. My bike now feels more stable and I experience less resistance during cycling so I ride much easier. These wheels bring even more fun to ride my bike!
