RAW 55

Great wheelset

Even coming from a premium wheelset but with a narrower inner width (from 20 mm) of wheelset you immediately notice how much stable these are in any riding circumstances. Also maintaining speed in longer flat efforts is quite noticeable, even on descents I felt that in freewheeling (above speed of 50 km/h) I accelerate better (CeramicSpeed bearings, let’s not forget). These are my first wheels with carbon spokes and they are stiff as expected but without any negativity from it. I ran Victtoria’s tyres, 28 front, 30 rear (29,3-31,9 measured), so comfort is top notch. I specially like that feeling when I load bigger power on them, standing or sprinting, that they cope with it with ease. Sure, as any deeper wheelset you will feel some wind gusts as I experienced in last 4 months, but you feel resistance and not sudden kicks or major deflection of the front wheel. And yes, the look. They look amazing, in person even more. To summarize, I am very satisfied with the wheelset and I think there is not many wheelset, if at all, at this price point, with this overall specifications and characteristics (non Asian brands) that can compete with them. Also, the ability to test them for a 100 days is superb customer feature.

Awesome wheels

Other reviews do the wheels full justice. Used to have Roval CLX and DT Swiss arc1100. The Raw 55 feel rigid, smooth and very agile. Quick to accellerate on slopes. The only dilemma you face, is riding vs looking at your bike, as you dont see the wheels while riding

Super wielen

Deze wielen zijn echt top! De carbon spaken zorgen ervoor dat de wielen echt stijf zijn en da voel je tijdens het accelereren of in bochten. de wielen zijn heel aangenaam om mee te rijden.
