FFWD Pair of wheels Raw Control TLR Disque CERAMICSPEED / Campagnolo N3W

Key Points How to make the best gravel wheels even better? Combine internal expertise and know-how, and the result is here: the RAW PACE and RAW CONTROL have arrived. The DRIFT PACE and CONTROL models, launched last year, revolutionised the gravel world. They have won numerous victories around the globe, with cyclists praising their responsiveness, agility, and the confidence they provide in corners and across all types of terrain. With some riders also having used the RAW in gravel, the idea of merging these models quickly became clear. The RAW PACE and CONTROL take the gravel-specific rims from their “little brothers” DRIFT, while integrating VONOA carbon spokes and FFWD hubs equipped with CeramicSpeed bearings specific to the RAW models. This combination of features allows for a weight saving of up to 150 grams. The RAW PACE weighs 1,380 grams on the scales, while the RAW CONTROL tips the scales at just 1,295 grams. Beyond the weight reduction, the remaining mass is concentrated closer to the centre of the wheel, which enhances agility and overall riding feel. In comparison to the competition, the verdict is clear. There are very few wheels of this level, and those that exist do not match the value for money that FFWD is known for. The CONTROL and PACE models are complementary in terms of use. The CONTROL model, with a rim height of 36 mm, prioritises agility, lightness, and flexibility. It is ideal for gravel races that involve a lot of elevation changes but is also suitable for more extreme adventures such as ultra-distance racing or bikepacking. With its rims at 48 mm high, the PACE model places more emphasis on speed, stiffness, and aesthetics. We bet you'll see them in competition soon. It also pairs perfectly with today's aerodynamic gravel bikes.
