Fulcrum Wind 55 Disc Brake Wheel Set

It could be said that Wind represents the right wheel at the right time: all of the most widely appreciated and sought-after features in a disc brake racing bike wheel are combined in the new, perfectly balanced design, boasting cutting-edge technological features in two of the most popular profile heights: 40 mm and 55 mm. It is interesting to go back to the very beginning, to the origins of this new project, and to note how the evolution of the hugely popular Racing Quattro Carbon models triggered a true revolution: a totally new wheel upon which each and every key component has been changed and improved - the rim, spokes and hubs are all new, conceived to work in harmony as a complete wheel offering impeccable performance. The new rim, which has been redesigned for use with the new, more generous tyres, is expertly crafted from several layers of carbon, culminating externally with a modern unidirectional finish.

A winning mix of performance, solidity, aesthetics and riding pleasure, without resorting to more extreme solutions reserved for the top models offered by the competition. When designing the new Wind profiles, our R&D department made full use of the aerodynamic skills and knowledge gained during the studies carried out in recent years, which led to the development of the profiles now used by our teams on the World Tour, introducing these into a different context but with equally high standards of excellence.

When thinking about a racing wheelset like Wind 55 DB, you start with aerodynamics. The 55 mm full carbon unidirectional rim is the result of an endless cycle of tests, wind tunnel analyses and laboratory finishing.

The Wind 55DB has been designed with the specific objective of reducing the effect of cross-winds when riding by as much as possible. This is most noticeable when you choose to race on Wind 55 DB: it cuts through the wind, guarantees stability and consequently very high average speeds without excess effort.

Reliability comes in the form of Fulcrum's 2-Way Fit tubeless system which helps prevent untimely punctures when it matters most. With its 19-mm internal channel, it is designed to offer the best support for tubeless tires and to work in conjunction with 25 and 28 mm sizes with its wide rim profile.

If "Aerodynamics" is the first word that comes to mind to describe your new set of wheels, perhaps you should think of Wind as the first choice.

Occasionally, without notice, manufacturers change product design and/or specifications.
