For those who remain faithful to rim brakes, the F4R FCC is the perfect set of wheels for every day performance rides. Besides these full carbon clincher wheels are as light as a feather, the aerodynamic rim profile also ensures they cut through the wind like a knife.
The 45mm high carbon rims of the F4R FCC are designed based on the DARC technology. DARC stands for “Double Arc” which refers to the unique wavy rim profile which results in improved aerodynamics. The internal width of the rim is optimized for mounting tyres up to 37mm. By default, the F4R FCC rims are tubeless ready and the wheels are always supplied with tubeless tape mounted and tubeless valves in the box.
Anyone who thinks bicycles with rim brakes are past away, and production of wheels made for bicycles with rim brakes stoped is wrong! Althought the advance of disc brake bicycles, there is still a higher number of bicycles ridden with rim brakes. Reason enough for FFWD to stay the modern F4R FCC wheels for bicycles with rim brakes available in the collection.
High quality hubs with a minimum of rolling resistance, low maintenance frequency and optimal durability. The F4R FCC is equipped with our own brand FFWD hub, which provide you stable and reliable quality at the best possible conditions. These FFWD hubs have a standard quick-release mount.
