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. |
Low weight of 1550 g and aerodynamic properties makes for a versatile wheelset. |
These rims are designed to help you cope with crosswinds, thanks to the ultra-wide 27mm outer rim width. |
DT Swiss 240 hubs have smooth running bearings and a good seal for long life. |
The ratchet body engages quickly when you accelerate after turns or at a start. |
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 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. |
Not suitable for Campagnolo cassettes. |
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. |
