FFWD has unveiled the third generation of its TYRO wheelset, the TYRO 2026, enhancing its reputation for delivering high-quality, versatile carbon wheels at an accessible price point. This latest iteration introduces several key improvements, including a lighter design, enhanced aerodynamics, and increased compatibility with wider tires.
Optimized Rim Profile and Tire Compatibility
The TYRO 2026 features an updated rim profile with a 23mm internal width, accommodating a broader range of tire sizes. This design allows riders to comfortably fit tires up to 45mm wide, making the wheelset well-suited for various terrains, from smooth asphalt to rugged gravel paths. The increased internal width also contributes to improved aerodynamics and overall ride stability.
Advanced N/LITE Hub System
Central to the TYRO 2026’s performance is the newly developed N/LITE hub system. Drawing inspiration from FFWD’s N/GAGE hubs found in the RYOT and DRIFT series, the N/LITE hubs have been engineered to reduce weight without compromising reliability. The hubs incorporate a high-quality 36T ratchet system, ensuring quick and precise engagement for a responsive riding experience.
Weight Reduction Without Price Increase
Despite the technological advancements, FFWD has managed to reduce the overall weight of the TYRO 2026 by approximately 100 grams compared to its predecessor. Remarkably, this weight reduction comes without an increase in price; the wheelset remains available at €1,099, offering exceptional value for cyclists seeking performance and versatility.
The TYRO 2026 is available for purchase through FFWD’s official website and authorized dealers. For more detailed specifications and purchasing options, visit FFWD’s official website.
