Fulcrum Wind 40C, an ideal performance for training or everyday rides, on all roads.

Swift as the wind, the 40mm high rim is the ideal size for any type of route: aerodynamic on flat stretches, easy to handle and lightweight when the road is uphill or downhill. Wind™ with carbon profile for clinchers are the choice for those seeking ever performing and, why not, aesthetically aggressive and elegant road bike wheels. With its 40 mm full carbon unidirectional profile will be able to prove itself aerodynamic and stable in long stretches on the flat, light and agile in making the rhythm uphill, decisive and manageable in the most technical descents.

A new level of performance is offered by the full carbon, unidirectional rim built without holes for passage of the nipples and MoMag™. Aluminium hubs with oversize aluminium flange and Two-to-One™ technology to transmit all the power to the ground while increases the torsional stiffness, increasing reactivity at each change of the rhythm of the pedal stroke. An exclusive pressing system for the rim in unpainted carbon enables an extremely limited weight and a smooth surface free from imperfections. Aluminium hub system with high-quality adjustable steel bearings. And for braking like never before?  The AC3™ laser treatment on the braking track laser processing allows the traces of resin to be eliminated from the surface in contact with the pads with a precision never seen before, improving behaviour in all conditions and up to 30% in the most complicated situations, in the rain.

Fulcrum Wind 40: technology, performance, and substance! To completely change the character of your racing bike.

Features: 

• Developed with the use of Dynamic Balance concept, which is simple and elegant: balance the weight of the gasket, with an item of similar weight placed on the exact opposite side
• 2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio patent technology, which doubles the spoke count in the critical zones and prevents undesirable flex of the whole wheel and an unavoidable loss of energy, when you push on the pedals.  This solves the problem of the rotational force on the sprocket, which induces a slackening of the freewheel spokes with a consequent loss of rim tension
• MoMag™ system, where nipples, once inserted inside the rim via the valve hole, are “guided” to the point of connection with the spoke by means of the magnet.
  This simple but ingenious system makes it possible to have wheels without holes on the upper bridge, but with spokes tensioned by traditional nipples
• DRSC™ - Exclusive rim/spoke coupling system that allows the rim, spokes, nipples, and hub to align properly with the same tensioning value in all areas
• Anti-Rotation system, which makes sure the spokes never lose their initial tension, keeping the wheel perfectly reactive and centred. This way they will remain in the position that has been studied in the wind tunnel tests to ensure the best aerodynamic penetration possible. This will help you to achieve a new level of performance.  The system is based on new hub housing and a new spoke design in order to create a solid and unmoveable whole
• F.I.C. Fulcrum Identification card - 100% handmade quality, which gives you maximum performance and reliability
• Traceability will provide you with a guarantee in case of an ascertained defectiveness of a production batch, and so the component needed or wheel will be traceable
• AC3™ - all conditions carbon control - enables surprising braking performance in difficult conditions.  braking directly exploits the brake pad’s contact on the fibre, improving grip and dissipation of water and moisture from the surface, allowing it to work immediately in ideal conditions and give better results.
