The most versatile model in our collection

The TYRO wheels are developed for maximum versatility. Not only because these wheels are available in almost all possible variants, but especially because they can be used in all conditions and on every surface.

Thanks to its low weight starting at only 1640 grams, the TYRO meets great performance in both the flat countries and the high mountains. Optimized for high speeds with a lateral stiffness for winning sprints and improving your personal records on every col.

Some USP's we definitely don't want you to miss:

  • The TYRO features a "Ratchet" hub instead of the "Pawl" system that almost every other wheel brand uses in this price range. The Ratchet system provides faster engagement, is more durable and requires less maintenance. Build to last!
  • The TYRO wheels meet exactly the same build quality as its big (and more expensive) brothers, the RAW and the RYOT.
  • The TYRO is manufactured entirely in-house by our expert wheel builders, and each wheel is carefully polished and checked before being shipped.

Modern tubeless ready full carbon rims

The 45mm carbon rims of the TYRO Rim Brake are equipped with all modern requirements. The internal width of the rim is optimized for mounting tyres up to 44mm, making the TYRO suitable for both road and gravel bikes. That's why we talk about maximum versatility! By default, the TYRO rims are tubeless-ready and the wheels are always supplied with tubeless tape mounted and tubeless valves in the box.

Full carbon wheels for rim brakes

Anyone who thinks bicycles with rim brakes have passed away, and the production of wheels made for bicycles with rim brakes stopped is wrong! Although the advance of disc brake bicycles, there is still a higher number of bicycles ridden with rim brakes. Reason enough for FFWD to stay the modern TYRO wheels for bicycles with rim brakes available in the collection.

Choose custom colors for your TYRO wheels

The standard decals in shiny black naturally look good on any bike. But imagine your TYRO wheels with custom decals in colors that perfectly match your bike. How cool is that! Especially for the TYRO series, we have custom decals available in no less than 17 colors that you can easily apply yourself.

When you order a pair of (new) TYRO wheels here, the color option is free of charge! Just add them to your cart and the amount will automatically be deducted!

What riders say about TYRO RIM BRAKE

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.

TYRO RIM BRAKE

Absolutely Great...

A quite unique wheelset.. I have 2 bikes equiped with these magnificent wheels which are robust but still light and suitable for both road and gravel. Multi purpose, strong, but at the same time smooth and comfortable.

TYRO RIM BRAKE

Great wheelset and service

The wheels ride great! The rear wheels became slightly out of true. FFWD was able to swiftly fix the issue in-house. A testament to their premium service.

TYRO RIM BRAKE

Perfect upgrade

Back into riding after 20+ years I upgraded my original custom steel frame with a new gruppo and rode for a year enjoying being back on the bike. Realizing I was in it for the long haul I decided to upgrade my wheels. Shopped, researched and decided on FFWD Tyro rim break wheels! Wow!! Comfortable! Easy to maintain! Faster! All good. Recommend to any and all!!
