According to the product specialist

Pros
Thanks to the rim height of 55mm, the Wind 55 DB wheels give you a great aerodynamic advantage over lower wheel sets.
It is possible to fit tyres from 25mm up to 50mm. This makes the Wind 55 DB wheels suitable for both road and gravel bikes.
Thanks to the Fulcrum 2-Way Fit technology it is possible to mount both clincher and tubeless tyres.
The sealed industrial bearings in these wheels spin smoothly while being well sealed against water and dirt at the same time.
The great looks of these wheels will make you the centre of attention with your cycling buddies.
Weighing 1352 grams, the 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake can rightly be called a lightweight. Climbing and sprinting have never been so easy!
Zipp's "Tubeless Made Easy" system allows you to make the wheels tubeless in no time, even without using a compressor.
With an internal rim width of 25mm, 28mm tyres fit perfectly, with maximum aerodynamic benefits, high comfort and low rolling resistance.
The Zipp ZR1 hubs, developed in Germany, have bearings with a good seal and improved durability. The 6 pawl body engages super fast, minimising energy loss when starting.
Lifelong warranty on production faults, except for wear and tear. Ultimate security!
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.
All-round thanks to the light (1590 grams) and aerodynamic 40 mm high rims.
Equipped with low maintenance industrial sealed bearings that keep out water, sand and dirt.
Vision wheels are completely handmade and have self-locking spoke nipples. Perfect spoke tension guaranteed.
Cons
The Wind 55 DB wheels are less universal than its ‘little brother’ Wind 40 DB due to the deeper rim.
Only available with AFS Centerlock discs. If you ride with 6-hole brake discs, you will need to purchase Centerlock discs.
The Sapim J-bend spokes provide more comfort than straight pull spokes, but give less stiffness to the wheel.
The Zipp 303 Firecrest Tubeless Disc Brake is only suitable for tubeless (ready) tyres at a maximum tyre pressure of 5 bar, not for normal folding tyres.
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 decals were put on top of the last layer of varnish, instead of underneath. This increases the chance of the decals damaging or coming off.
