Fulcrum WIND 42 DB 2WF C23 Road Bike Wheels

The Fulcrum WIND 42 DB 2WF carbon wheelset gives you an optimal balance between aerodynamic performance and comfort from effective vibration absorption. The updated profile with a 42 mm rim height and a wide inner rim size significantly increases agility and responsiveness. Thanks to its versatile design, the wheelset is highly suitable for both sleek asphalt and light gravel roads, resulting in a smooth and stable ride on any surface!

At the heart of this wheelset is the Full Carbon FF80 construction with a beautiful matt finish. This high-quality carbon fibre lay-up makes the rims not only nice to look at but also very light and stiff for instant and efficient power transfer. The rims have a height of 42 mm and an inner width of 23 mm, and thanks to Wide Rim Tech they optimally support tyres and allow for an aerodynamic transition with the tyres. A notable feature is the undrilled rim bed, made possible by MoMag technology. This closed rim base completely eliminates the need for tubeless rim tape, ensuring fast and super safe airtight mounting of tubeless tyres.

Finishes and spoke pattern
Besides the carbon rims, this system features several technological details that increase durability and overall performance. With a total weight of 1510 grams, the WIND set is highly responsive. Each wheel is constructed with 24 round, double-butted stainless steel spokes. The integrated Anti-Rotation System keeps these straight-pull spokes in the most aerodynamic position at all times. Also, DRSC technology (Directionated Rim-Spoke Coupling) ensures perfect alignment between rim and spokes, distributing forces evenly. At the centre of the wheels are aluminium hubs with low flanges and with sealed and adjustable bearings. These industrial bearings guarantee permanently smooth rotation, and self-locking aluminium nipples allow for lasting safe tension. The updated minimalist graphics give the wheels a sophisticated look.

Mounting and compatibility
Classified under ASTM category 2, this wheelset is suitable for use on paved and light dirt roads. The 23 mm inner rim width is compatible with tyre widths ranging from 25 to even 69 mm! For mounting, the front wheel uses a standard 12x100 mm thru-axle and the rear wheel a 12x142 mm one. The wheelset supports a maximum system weight of 120 kg and is available with XDR, HG and N3W freehub bodies.
