Sindballe Gets up to Speed with FFWD wheels
Monday, 21st May 2007
The Danish bike powerhouse has signed a 2 year deal to ride the brand new FFWD wheels. Thunderbear already debuted the wheels at IM New Zealand in March where he stormed into T2 with a massive 7 minute lead and was happy with the performance on the tough New Zealand course:
"The Disc wheel is the best I have ever ridden! Compared to other discs on the market it handles like a dream and is more responsive when accelerating. It gets very close to the dynamics of a spoked wheel. Together with a strong line up of wheels for all sorts of conditions, I am well equipped to push through to the next level"
FFWD wheels and Torbjørn Sindballe will work together in their ongoing commitment to speed and Henk Schipper is excited to bring one of triathlons über bikers and most dedicated athletes to the brand at such an early stage.
Having a history in road racing, its really great to expand into triathlon with one of the best athletes in this sport. Torbjørn is an extremely strong bike rider with good product knowledge. Therefore hes a great asset for our product development team. We all wish Torbjørn a
very successful season on FFWD wheels!
Torbjørn is currently preparing to defend his ITU long distance world championship title on July 15th in Lorient, France. Later in the year he will cross the pond to tackle the elite of Ironman racing in Kona, HI on October 13th and 4 weeks later take on the challenge of the exiting new
format at the Triathlon 101 championships in The Woodlands, TX:
"I took a good break after New Zealand, since the season extends well in to the fall this year and I want to be at my best in October/November."
Training is already on track and I am free of the injuries that have hampered my running in past years. I continue to strive for the perfect race with a world class level in all three disciplines and I am excited to not only go for my third world title, but also try and break through
in Kona and take on the new 101 challenge that is suited perfectly for my strengths"
FFWD is dedicated to become one of the leading brands in high performance carbon wheels. FFWD wheels will be sold through specialized bike and triathlon retailers worldwide, and also consumer direct through the www.ffwdwheels.com website.
