Wind 42 XDR: Mid-Range Carbon Road Wheels

Designed with the aim of balancing performance and comfort, the Wind 42 guarantee fluid handling and versatility. In fact the new wheels are not solely for road use, as they can also handle light off-road riding too (ASTM category 2), so that your fun can extend beyond traffic-congested roads. This project embraces the various ways that people are using road bikes lately. From the range-topping Speed family, in terms of performance, the Wind 42 inherit many of Fulcrum’s proprietary technologies, to offer a superior ride feel compared to the previous generation.

Handling has been improved by 22% and reactivity by +10%* on these versatile and comfortable wheels, making them perfect for modern cyclists. Amongst the most evident changes there are the rims whose height has been raised to 42mm, with an inner rim channel of 23mm. The graphics have been completely redesigned too and reflect the new Form Function Fulcrum brand identity, with a minimal and at the same time refined design, which includes new icons that provide all the product’s technical information.
