Key Features of the Fulcrum Wind Carbon Wheels
Aerodynamic Carbon Rim
The 55mm and 75mm rim profiles strike a balance between aerodynamics and handling.
The 55C provides a great mix of weight savings and aero gains, making it a solid choice for rolling terrain.
The 75C is better suited for time trials, triathlons, or flat road races where speed is paramount.
Both rims are crafted from unidirectional carbon fiber, offering lightweight strength and enhanced stiffness for efficient power transfer.
2-Way Fit™ for Tubeless or Clincher Tires
One of Fulcrum’s standout technologies is 2-Way Fit™, allowing you to choose between tubeless or clincher tires.
Tubeless setup reduces rolling resistance and the risk of punctures.
Clincher compatibility offers convenience and ease of tire changes.
Wide Rim Profile for Modern Tires
The 19mm internal width is optimised for wider tires (25-28mm), improving:
Comfort
Grip
Rolling resistance
This wider profile aligns well with the current trend in road cycling, where wider tires provide better performance without sacrificing speed.
Disc Brake Compatibility
The Wind Carbon wheels are disc-brake only, meaning they are designed for modern road bikes with hydraulic or mechanical disc braking systems.
Disc brakes provide consistent braking performance in all weather conditions.
No brake track on the rim improves aerodynamics and durability.
Smooth & Reliable Hubs
Fulcrum equips the Wind Carbon series with high-quality aluminum hubs, featuring sealed cartridge bearings for long-lasting smoothness and efficiency.
The rear hub features a solid freehub system, available in Shimano from Wheelbase.
The hubs use MoMag™ technology, which eliminates the need for rim tape, further reducing weight.
Balanced Weight & Stiffness
Wind 55C Weight: 1,615g per pair
Wind 75C Weight: 1820g per pair
While not the absolute lightest carbon wheels on the market, they offer excellent stiffness-to-weight ratio and durability and are available at a fantastic price. The Wind 55C is particularly well-suited for climbing, while the 75C excels in flat, fast conditions.
