FFWD RAW PACE Carbon Gravel Wheels

The FFWD RAW PACE represent the pinnacle of technology for modern gravel racing. Designed for cyclists seeking maximum speed, aerodynamics, and stability on the fastest dirt roads, they combine the performance of the road-dedicated RAW series with a reinforced structure developed specifically for gravel.

Thanks to their hookless carbon rims with a 28 mm internal channel, VONOA carbon spokes, and FFWD hubs with CeramicSpeed bearings, the RAW PACE offer an extremely responsive, comfortable, and precise ride even on the most challenging terrains.

Aerodynamic performance even in gravel

The FFWD RAW PACE are designed for gravel racers who don't want to compromise on speed.

The carbon rim with a 48 mm profile utilizes the LAW (Laminar Airflow Wing) aerodynamic design, engineered to reduce air resistance while maintaining high stability even in crosswinds.

The wide 28 mm hookless internal channel allows the use of tires from 38 to 60 mm, offering the perfect balance between aerodynamic efficiency, comfort, and control on off-road trails.

Reinforced rims to tackle any terrain

The RAW PACE use reinforced carbon rims, designed to withstand the typical impacts of gravel racing without compromising lightness and performance.

The Full Carbon Clincher Hookless construction ensures high structural rigidity and great reliability during competitions and the most demanding rides.

VONOA carbon spokes

The use of VONOA Carbon Bladed spokes represents a significant step forward in gravel wheel performance.

In addition to reducing the overall weight of the wheel, they offer:

• high lateral stiffness;
• immediate power transfer;
• improved steering precision;
• absorption of high-frequency vibrations;
• reduced fatigue during long rides.

FFWD hubs with CeramicSpeed bearings

To support the specific construction with carbon spokes, FFWD has developed a proprietary hub already successfully used in the RAW Road series.

Inside are the prestigious CeramicSpeed bearings, synonymous with:

• lower friction;
• greater smoothness;
• reduced weight;
• high durability.

The 36T Ratchet engagement system ensures an immediate response to pedaling and extremely efficient power transmission.

Ideal for

The FFWD RAW PACE are the ideal choice for:

• gravel races;
• high-speed competitions;
• mixed terrain;
• long distances;
• cyclists seeking maximum aerodynamic advantage even off-road.
