The DRIFT PACE and CONTROL, launched last year, proved to be a game changer in the gravel scene. They took several victories around the world, with riders praising the responsiveness and agility and the confidence they feel in corners and on every type of terrain. Some riders ran the RAW on gravel too, so the idea of combining these
RAW PACE and CONTROL use the gravel specific rims of their little DRIFT brothers, combined with the VONOA carbon spokes and FFWD hubs with CeramicSpeed bearings of the RAW models. That blend of specifications saves up to 150 grams.
Besides the weight reducting, the remaining mass is concentrated closer to the centre of the wheel, boosting the agility and overall ride feeling.
Head to head with the competition the picture is clear. There are few wheels at this level, and the ones that exist do not match the quality to price ratio FFWD is known for.
