According to the product specialist
Pros
-
The 40 mm rim height makes the Wind 40 DB wheels very versatile; high enough for aerodynamic advantage, but low enough for use on windy roads. |
It is possible to fit tires from 23 mm to 42 mm. This ensures that the Wind 40 DB wheels can be used in both your racing bike and gravel bike. |
Thanks to the Fulcrum 2-WayFit technology, it is possible to mount both clincher and tubeless tires. |
The sealed bearings in these wheels run smoothly and at the same time are well sealed against water and dirt. |
Because of the incredibly beautiful appearance of these wheels you risk getting stared at. |
One of the highest quality wheelsets available. |
Cup cone bearings prevent friction in the hub and last much longer with light maintenance than industrial bearings. |
Lightweight, aerodynamic and good braking performance with disc brakes. |
Cons
-
The Wind 40 DB wheels give you less aerodynamic advantage than the higher Fulcrum Wind 55 DB wheels. |
Only available with AFS Centerlock brake disc attachment. If you are driving with 6-hole brake discs, you will need to purchase new brake discs. |
The wheelset has a rather basic look next to the large Dura Ace stickers. |
