Product description
For the RAW CS wheelset, the rims have been modified, the spoke count reduced to 21, and completely new hubs developed in cooperation with the Danish brand Ceramic Speed. This company produces bearings for FFWD with a larger diameter for increased strength and durability (so it's not a standard size!). The hub itself has a special flange for the carbon spoke heads, a lightweight freewheel body, and the overall quality of the hub is on par with Switzerland's DT Swiss, including their star-ratchet system.
The lacing consists of top quality carbon spokes, which have a tensile strength of at least 2000N (the best steel spokes have around 1600N). The spoke is tensioned using a two-component nipple, so it is replaceable and serviceable. The spoke count was intentionally reduced from 24 to 21, as the lacing thus exhibits much better properties and dampens vibrations better while maintaining uncompromising stiffness.

FFWD RAW CS 55 28" Wheelset
The absolute top of the range is represented by the RAW CS wheelset (CS stands for Carbon Spokes). The rim uses LAW TECH technology, where LAW is an acronym for "Laminar Airflow Wing", just like the RYOT wheelset. This proprietary FFWD design optimizes aerodynamics and stiffness, especially when used with wider tires. The wheels are intended primarily for road use and are optimized for perfect power transfer and airflow.For the RAW CS wheelset, the rims have been modified, the spoke count reduced to 21, and completely new hubs developed in cooperation with the Danish brand Ceramic Speed.
