Fully optimized for gravel rides
The DRIFT, what's in the name, is the FFWD's first wheelset designed explicitly for gravel bikes. The rims with an inner width of 24mm make it possible to fit tires from 30 to 60mm wide. And of course, the DRIFT wheels are fully tubeless and ready out of the box.
Because wheels have to suffer a lot during gravel rides, the DRIFT is equipped with thicker spokes for more stability and durability. For the DRIFT we chose the DT Aero Comp straight pull, 24 pieces both front and rear. Yet the total weight of the DRIFT wheelset is only 1515 grams.
Full carbon tubeless ready rims
With a medium rim profile of 36mm high, the DRIFT offers the perfect balance between stiffness and comfort, with great handling as a result. Do you really want to get everything out of your DRIFT wheels? Pick the ultimate experience with tubeless tires. Minimal rolling resistance and a combination of optimum handling and protection at low tire pressures. With the DRIFT you are all set!
Another benefit of the DRIFT rims is the hookless construction. This results in a lower weight and more efficient tire fitting on the rim, which brings you better handling and stability on the bike.
Customize your DRIFT wheels with decals in unique colors
The standard decals in shiny black naturally look good on any bike. But imagine your DRIFT wheels with custom decals in colors that perfectly match your bike. How cool is that! Especially for the DRIFT series, we have custom decals available in no less than 17 colors that you can easily apply yourself.
When you order a pair of (new) DRIFT wheels here, the color option is free of charge! Just add them to your cart and the amount will automatically be deducted!
High-end hubs to choose from
Hubs are a critical part, perhaps the most critical part of high-end wheels. The DRIFT wheels allow you to choose our own branded FFWD hubs, which offer you very solid and reliable technology without compromising on quality and durability. Do you want to save extra weight in combination with higher precision and stiffness? Then the DT 240 hubs with the improved EXP ratchet system may be the best choice!
All are 12mm thru-axles compatible, but thanks to the conversion kits they can be converted to a 15mm thru-axle or quick-release mount in no time. Each type of hub in the DRIFT wheels is center lock disc compatible.

With a total weight loss of almost 1kg, the smooth DT240 wheel hubs and Drift rims, almost any surface feels like a party
As a former pro, I tested the wheelset in several gravel races, including the Dutch Championships. These wheels are impressive!
The wheels are lightweight, having excellent acceleration and handling on all terrains. The balance between stiffness and comfort is really well. This makes them run smooth on both gravel and paved sections.
My conclusion: High performing wheels!
Al enkele gravelwedstrijden met deze wielen gereden met toch wel wat technische afdalingen, bollen super goed! Licht en comfortabel!
These are your wheels of choice if you want a lot of confidence on the trails! I absolutely love them, you can use them on any terrain and they will never be the limit. They are light, strong and come fully set up for tubeless. The custom coloured decals will make your bike stand out. 100% recommended!
I'm just writing to report that FFWD Drifts were the perfect wheelset for some hard gravel racing. I recently participated in FNLD GRVL 2024 and can honestly say the wheels were punished hard, and carried me to the finish line of a challenging 177km 2100m+ course.
There were super fast dip n' rips, bone shattering rocky tracks, uphill sprints, a little air time (small), and everything in between. Sometimes gravel needs resilience. Would recommend.
