7 TYPE OF RIM Geographic conditions, intended use and type of rider are leading when finding the right wheel set. Our product range offers different types of wheels with specific characteristics that determine whether it matches your needs. TYPE OF RIM FAC CAC FCC FCT Full Alloy Clincher The FFWD set that has no carbon. Developed for riders who want to have an alloy training set, or use in the mountains. Carbon Alloy Clincher A full carbon rim with integrated alloy brake surface. These wheels are mostly used by enthusiasts and in areas with less smooth or dirty roads. Full Carbon Clincher Full carbon wheels without any alloy inside. They have the looks of a tubular, with the benefits of a clincher. For enthusiasts or triathletes. Full Carbon Tubular Ultimate competition wheel used by the professionals. The lightest wheels with the tires glued onto the rim.

8 HUB OPTIONS HUB OPTIONS DT350 DT240 DT180 The best hubs based on price and quality. With 2 star ratchets this freewheel system ensures a quick and reliable engagement. These hubs are derived from its MTB version with a closed bearing sealing that offers many kilo-meters of service free riding. With 2 star ratchets this freewheel system ensures a quick and reliable engagement. High-end hubs fitted with Ceramic bearings and a carbon hub shell eliminating those final grams off your bike. With 2 star ratchets this freewheel system ensures a quick and reliable engagement.

9 TYPE OF RIDER Are you an avid semi-professional racer, or a non-competitive enthusiast? Are you riding every day, or just on Sunday mornings? TYPE OF RIDER Intermediate The inter-mediate prefers wheels that are up for anything and easy to use. Alloy or carbon/alloy clinchers are the main choice, with bigger and stronger riders opting for additional spokes. Advanced The advanced rider is looking for the one set he or she can use every day, without compromising on performance. Advanced riders tend to go for a maximum rim height of 45 mm. PRO For the pro it is all about speed, aerodynamics and weight advantage, changing set-ups to accommodate different terrain. Pro riders prefer full carbon clinchers or tubulars with higher rim profiles.

10 COLOR SCHEME The colors of FFWD have always been red, white and black and our initial logo is a combination of white and red on black. Alternatively we offer a few options such as (full) White, (matt) Black and Celeste which will make your bike look awesome! COLOR SCHEME RED WHITE BLACK CELESTE

12 AERODYNAMICS FOR THE REAL WORLD The strength, durability, and performance of FFWD's range are achieved through a combination of factors, starting with aerodynamics and rim design. FFWD's engineers understand the real-world wind conditions that cyclists experience and how these conditions directly affect the aerodynamics and performance of wheels. DARC TM AIRFLOW `Double Arc' refers to the shape and design of the FFWD carbon rim. DARCTM Technology offers an aerodynamic advantage, improved handling, and increased lateral stiffness.

13 AERODYNAMICS FOR THE REAL WORLD DARCTM 'Double Arc' Aerodynamic Technology FFWD developed its proprietary DARCTM 'Double Arc' aerodynamic technology. The initial design was based on the theory that the effective winds a rider experiences tend to fall within a lower yaw angle* range than the cited and adopted by numerous competitors. The revolutionary DARCTM profile is designed to achieve optimal aerodynamic performance by reducing drag around the wheel in both frontal and cross wind conditions by creating a negative-pressure section that compresses and speeds airflow over the rim, thus reducing drag while also increasing stability. FFWD's DARCTM technology is found in the F4-series, F6-series, and F9-series wheels. *The yaw angle is the calculated real wind angle, when the speed of the actual wind (effective wind) and the wind speed produced by the rider (apparent wind) are taken into consideration.

14 AERODYNAMICS FOR THE REAL WORLD Superior Aerodynamic Performance A typical cyclist experiences average yaw angles of for more than 70% of the time he spends on the road, regardless of where he is riding. Under these real-world conditions, FFWD's F6R-series wheels with DARCTM profiles offer the best aerodynamic advantage over the competition. FFWD tested the DARCTM profile's performance against a range of wheels from leading competitors. The results (see graph below) show that the F6R wheels offer the best performance under real-world wind conditions, i.e. when yaw angles are between 0 and 10. This results in a gain of one minute and 35 seconds over an IronMan distance!
