Sensa Giulia Supremo RAW Wheels: Keep FFWD RAW 55 Separate from Project Z

Sensa Giulia Supremo RAW wheels are identified as FFWD RAW 55 in the manufacturer's equipment list. That wheel name helps distinguish the RAW Edition from the Project Z build and from a configure-your-own Supremo. Treating all three simply as carbon-wheel bicycles would lose the package distinction the maker actually publishes.

Sensa Giulia Supremo RAW wheels in the edition description

The RAW introduction describes carbon spokes and 55mm carbon rims, and names CeramicSpeed bearings. Those are the manufacturer's stated construction details. The 55mm rim description is not the tyre width: the same bicycle's tyre field separately names Continental GP5000 Black 30mm.

Keep the rim wording, tyre label and the complete wheel name on different lines in a comparison. The product text supplies no independent wheel test or quantified result for a rider. Its promotional statements about stiffness and performance should not be turned into a measured speed or durability advantage for this guide.

Project Z and custom listings name other possibilities

The Giulia Supremo Deep Red Shade Project Z page lists Supra RFC Elite 45 wheels and Vittoria Rubino 30mm tyres. That is a different named wheel-and-tyre package, despite both bicycles sharing the broader Supremo name and an Ultegra Di2 drivetrain description.

The custom Deep Red Shade page goes further: its Wheels field says “Configure your own.” That wording does not assign FFWD RAW 55 to every custom order. A proposed custom configuration needs its own written wheel specification instead of inheriting the RAW Edition's equipment from another page.

Identify a wheel enquiry before discussing replacements

For an enquiry about a supplied RAW bicycle, begin with the FFWD RAW 55 name and the selected complete build. For a proposed change, obtain the exact intended wheel's interfaces and applicable tyre guidance from the supplier. This product listing does not state all axle, rotor, freehub, pressure or tubeless-conversion requirements.

The RAW Edition entry in Star Dust, Splendid Onyx and Brush Chrome is the product reference for this article. Its five size options do not establish interchangeable wheels across unrelated models. The brand overview explains the range, while the Sensa topic gathers the model context. Neither a generic road-bicycle photograph nor a wheel's visual depth identifies its exact approved replacement specification.

FAQ

What wheel name appears in the RAW specification?

The manufacturer lists FFWD RAW 55 in that build's Wheels field.

Is 55mm the listed tyre width?

No. The introduction attaches 55mm carbon-rim wording to the wheel package; the tyre field separately says 30mm.

Does the custom page guarantee the RAW wheelset?

No. It explicitly leaves the wheel choice to the custom configuration.
