Fulcrum Wind 75 Disc Brake Carbon Wheelset This race-ready wheelset features a high, ultra-aero profile that's ideal for time trials, triathlons & all situations where aerodynamics make the difference when pedalling at high speeds on your road bike. Fulcrum has equipped it with a high-quality full carbon rim construction with unidirectional carbon fibre finishing, so riders can enjoy the best balance of stiffness, strength & low weight performance on their ride. Aerodynamically researched & wind tunnel tested by the brand's engineers for maximum results, its rim width is 27mm & the channel width is 19mm which puts its internal & external dimension in line with modern racing trends. Full Carbon Wheelset with 2-Way Fit Technology Fulcrum has kitted out this wheelset with a 2-Way Fit profile, which allows riders to fit both a tubeless tyre or a classic clincher. The advantages are indisputable, as the brand's tests have highlighted a unique increase in smoothness & it doesn't need any tape for sealing, simplifying & lightening the tyre-rim pairing. Because there is no tube, the friction caused by rubbing against the tyre is eliminated, while the perfect adherence of the tyre to the rim prevents the dispersion of energy. This also means that you'll have more flexibility to choose & test out which tyre works best for you. Tubeless advantages include the ability to run lower pressures for increased grip, comfort & fewer chances of flats or punctures.AFS Disc Brake Compatible & Aero Mo-Mag Technology Ready for modern racing, this versatile wheelset is equipped with renowned Fulcrum technologies for getting the best performance out of every situation. Its AFS disc brake compatibility ensures that braking is powerful, precise & consistent, so you can tackle whatever the terrain or course conditions throw at you. Another highlight is its Mo-Mag technology that uses no holes on the rim to ensure that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of weakness &, for the clincher profiles no rim tape is required, for greater weight reduction. Double-Butted Spokes with Sealed Cartridge Bearings This model's spokes are double-butted, rounded & straight-pull for excellent aerodynamic performance & the nipples are aluminium. As far as the internals are concerned, Fulcrum chose sealed cartridge bearings housed in aluminium hubs, for both the front & rear wheel. Coming complete with sleek graphics that will complement any ride, the Fulcrum Wind 75 Disc Brake Carbon Wheelset the perfect choice upgrade for increased speed, comfort & handling on race day.

Fit: 2-Way Fit profile for tubeless & clincher. Fulcrum has developed 2-Way Fit technology to ensure perfect compatibility of its tubeless rims with normal clincher types & tubes. 2-Way Fit road bike wheels are perfectly multipurpose for tackling every situation. Thanks to a special impression in the valve area, the tubes are fitted with maximum precision, while keeping the tube perfectly stable inside the tyre. Housing the valve for tubeless tyres is also risk-free, with the unquestionable advantage that there are never any air infiltrations caused by non-ideal positioning when fitting. AFS Axle System: The Axial Fixing System is the solution developed by Fulcrum to fix the disc brake to the hub. The constraint granted by the butt area of the release mechanism, greater than in familiar standard ones, makes it possible to obtain greater structural rigidity & therefore more precise & powerful braking. Full Carbon Rim: Full carbon Fulcrum rims are built using combinations, developed in the laboratory, of different types of fibre, including unidirectional (UD). To build them Fulcrum developed a special HTG (high transition grade) resin, whose glass transition point is at a higher temperature than any other fibre used in the bicycle industry. This gives incomparable performance when braking. Fulcrum carbon products are also recognisable for their sophisticated workmanship: The rims are moulded with ready-made nipple holes, so no further hole-making is needed. Nor is polishing necessary to give them an impeccable appearance or make them technically ready for mounting. Mo Mag: A magnet & lots of ingenuity. This was what led to the patent for the well-tested “ Mounting Magnet” system, or Mo Mag. No holes on the rim mean that the rim is uniform at every point, free from stress points or zones of weakness &, for the clincher profiles no rim tape is required, to the benefit of weight reduction. The advantages are immediately clear: greater rim lifetime, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to give the spokes greater tension, & greater stiffness which, in terms of performance, mean greater reactivity & acceleration.
