Fulcrum SPEED 40 Disk Brake 2 way fit
SPEED is synonymous with competition, and represents the ultimate in performance, above all when the stopwatch is the only means used to judge results on a racing bike. It the name of a product created for World Tour professionals, who use the tubular tyre version, and for all those who use these wheels for racing.
With the above as a premise, what features should the 40 mm-high, non-tubular SPEED wheel – which is ideal in most situations – have?
That’s simple: the best of everything. And thus, the SPEED 40 DB, 2-Way Fit (tubeless) + disc brake wheel is born.
SPEED 40 DB is a set of wheels for use with disc brakes that will simply leave you speechless, featuring a cutting-edge rim with a new shape, designed according to innovative technical concepts. At 26.5 mm, the wheel is wider, with an aerodynamic shape which includes a pronounced 8 mm profile and a “twill” weave carbon fibre texture, optimising the elastic responsiveness of the rim.The final aerodynamic profile is the fruit of a lengthy finishing process: from simulations to prototype testing, in order to select the best design whilst taking the side wind and the turbulence created by the disc into account, followed by a long analysis to choose the best materials to be used on the final product.
Need a few more hints to get a real feel for the spirit of this wheel? Here they are: the SPEED 40 DB boasts a 2-Way Fit construction – and as such is tubeless by conception – with a 19 mm wide channel, and a USB ceramic cone & cup bearing system. And, of course, the oversize flanges on the hubs are designed to take full advantage of all the benefits offered by the disc brake.
Ultimately, the SPEED 40 DB is the new point of reference for riders who have chosen to a disc brake, and who are looking for the very best wheels out there, with a true racing pedigree and a perfect mid-profile on the majority of routes.

Fulcrum SPEED 40-55C COMBO Rim Brakes Clincher
Every cyclist has their own preferences once on the saddle, different situations may call for a different bike set up. A side wind, frequent changes in pace, winding yet fast routes…
Devised for more expert, demanding cyclists accustomed to fast cycling and careful about the details on their bikes, the SPEED range already offers an adequate choice with two different depth rims: 40 mm or 55 mm. Medium – low or medium – high.From here, we have spoken with the pros on our teams, who have often chosen to combine the two sizes depending on the race route. We then went back to thinking about the different possible situations on the road and we were naturally led to imagine a third possibility: the union of the pluses offered by these two versions when necessary.
And the outcome was “Combo”, 40 mm at the front, 55 mm at the back, an additional option for the full carbon range. It will be available in tubular “T” and clincher “C” versions. Maximum stiffness and transfer of power at the back, improved steering and agility at the front. The perfect mix? The road will decide.

Fulcrum SPEED 55 2 way Fit Disk Brake
The new rim profile characterizing the Speed 55 DB is a further step forwards in the search for the best aerodynamic performance. The model therefore focuses on a demanding and “racing” audience. To improve the rolling resistance (and ultimately the speed) of the wheel/tyre system, we designed this model in the 2-WAY FIT version.
The manufacturing process of the carbon fibre rim without holes in the internal channel – a patented construction technology – also allows a stronger and sturdier construction capable of withstanding even the most extreme racing conditions. The rim with a 19 mm inner width perfectly matches recent trends of using increasingly wider tyres – a choice that further improves the aerodynamic performance of the wheel/tyre system. This data has been validated by intensive wind tunnel studies and trials where new projects are tested on a regular basis. SPEED 55 DB proved to be the best option in terms of aerodynamic penetration indexes in the Fulcrum range and is derived from the profiles developed for the tubular version used by World Tour teams.
The SPEED range not only responds in terms of aerodynamic performance. Optimizing performance also requires the wheels to be light and run smooth. The scale stops at 1580 gr and we have chosen to add ceramic USB bearing components.SKU: speed55DB2way -

Fulcrum SPEED 55 C Rim Brake Clincher
The SPEED 55C, a racing wheel that reflects developments in the research into materials carried out by Fulcrum’s R&D team. The full-carbon rim has had a complete facelift, both in terms of the carbon used and the braking rim, thanks to the new AC3™ technology used.
Thetwill weave carbon-fiber pattern is unlike any other used in the past, enhancing the elastic responsiveness of the rim, thus boosting reactivity when rising out of the saddle and the transfer of power to the ground.
A joy for rouleurs, sprinters and triathletes alike who seek an aerodynamic wheel that doesn’t waste one single watt of power and is ready to accelerate and effortlessly maintain speed. In short, the range offers everything you need to achieve your targets within a group and feel satisfied when you look at the stopwatch.
55 mm is the size to choose if you’re aiming to increase your power output and make the most of the flywheel effect created by the rotation of the rim: incredible speeds plus optimum support during the strongest accelerations. This wheel is ideal for short climbs out of the saddle, when cycling on the flat or in triathlon races when making the most of aerodynamics is key.

Fulcrum SPEED 55T Tubular Disk Brake road bike wheels
These wheels offer amazing stability thanks to their wide profile, which optimises aerodynamic flow to keep the wheel stable, removing any interference. Short bursts out of the saddle are incredibly easy thanks to the stiffness of the spokes in addition to the two oversize flanges and the Two-to-one spoke pattern. This is just a taster of the kind of experience you get when you ride a bicycle with full-carbon SPEDD 55T DB wheels.
The full-carbon rim for tubular tyres with its new layers of “longitudinal twill” transfers 10% more power than previous models, for greater power transmission efficiency. And all that despite their record weight. Every single feature of these wheels is taken to the extreme.
It’s simply made for racing. Improvements within the group will be immediately noticeable. And sought-after.
SPEED 55 T DB is the most extreme wheel of the Fulcrum range, combining all the advantages of a 55mm aerodynamic rim with a powerful disc during braking, characteristics which make this the ideal racing wheel. This model is recommended for expert cyclists who are able to handle its deep profile and be daring with their lines and when accelerating: on these kinds of terrain it’ll be impossible to hold back your excitement at the features of these wheels.

Fulcrum Wind 40 Disk Brake 2 way fit
The combination of attention to aerodynamics and versatility creates Wind 40 DB.
It’s natural to point out that the design of the 40 mm rim is the direct descendant of the 55 profile: all the solutions developed for the higher profile have been included here, in a less specialised version.
So 40 mm, a light rim, created by the superposition of wide, modern unidirectional layers, with a pronounced profile (8 mm radius): innovative shapes, designed to blend with the tyre in a single element capable of eliminating turbulence, avoiding interrupting the flow of air that meets the wheel during the race.
But 40 mm also means versatility, because it is generally one of the sizes most appreciated by those who do not want to overdo things, but want an excellent wheel uphill, stiff and snappy, precise when riding. The system is completed with aluminium hubs, designed at the CNC, which support 24 “straight pull” spokes, guaranteeing maximum overall rigidity, both in acceleration and when braking, without influences due to the asymmetric nature of the forces coming from the disc and cogset.
Wind 40 DB is certainly the multi-purpose choice, with a strong focus on aerodynamics, to be fast, very fast, uphill, fast, very fast, on the flat, and just as much so downhill.

Fulcrum Wind 40C Rim Brakes Clincher
Allround as the leitmotiv, performance as an ideal definition for Wind 40C: a set of racing wheels designed for everyday rides, on all roads, whether for training or a Gran Fondo with the group you usually go out with.
Its 40 mm full carbon unidirectional profile will be able to prove itself, providing what is needed: 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.
The balance and harmony between your racing bike and Wind 40C will be immediate: you put them on and begin to discover a new level of performance. To achieve this objective, our R&D department combined several of the most popular technologies available: the full carbon, unidirectional rim is built without holes for passage of the nipples, Mo-Mag™ therefore, ensuring maximum stiffness and reliability.It promises braking like never before thanks to 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.
To transfer all the power in acceleration there is the oversize flange on the cogset side, with aero spokes arranged according to the Two-to-one™ scheme. that’s Wind 40: technology, performance and substance, but in the end it will be able to completely change the character of your racing bike.

Fulcrum WIND 55 Disk Brake 2 way fit
The power of aerodynamics.
In describing a racing bike wheel like Wind 55 DB, you start with aerodynamics: it’s time to try out on your bike how a finished and optimised profile down to the finest detail is able to make the difference.The 55 mm full carbon unidirectional rim, a full 27 mm wide, is the result of an endless cycle of tests, wind tunnel analyses and laboratory finishing.
Then on the road, with the main objective of reducing the effect of side winds on the ride as much as possible.
And this is what you notice when you choose to race on Wind 55 DB: it cuts through the wind, guarantees stability and consequently very high average speeds without excess effort.
Completing this package id the 2-Way Fit™, 19-mm internal channel, designed to offer the best support for tubeless tires and designed to best match the 25 and 28 mm sizes with the wide rim profile. Thanks to the Mo-Mag™ technology, no conversion will be necessary, the wheel is ready for use even without an inner tube.
If “Aerodynamics” is the first word that comes to mind to describe your new set of wheels, perhaps you should think of Wind as the first choice.

Fulcrum Wind 75 Disk Brakes
The 75 DB model completes the WIND range. This high profile wheel is the best expression of all the aerodynamic research and development carried out by our engineers.
The ultra-aero profile makes it the ideal wheel for time trials, triathlons and all situations where aerodynamics make the difference and you’re pedalling at high speeds.
The challenge of the project was focused on achieving high air penetration and speed numbers, without compromising the wheel’s stability and handling, despite the height of the profile. This was achieved with thorough wind tunnel testing, that resulted in a new profile of the unidirectional carbon rim, whose internal and external dimensions are in line with current trends: rim width 27 mm and channel width 19 mm.
The rim is 2-WAY FIT™, tubeless from the outset. It doesn’t need any tape for sealing, simplifying and lightening the tyre-rim pairing, thanks to the rim machining with Mo-Mag™ technology. The rim is also stiffer and more resistant without holes. The spokes are double butted, rounded and straight pull (the best aerodynamic shape) and the nipples are in aluminium.
As far as the internals are concerned, we have chosen sealed cartridge bearings housed in aluminium hubs, for both the front and rear wheel.
Two extremely important aspects for the riders are the exceptional price/performance ratio, that makes this fast wheel more accessible compared to the SPEED range, and the possibility of buying only the rear wheel.The WIND 75 are the best choice for those looking for maximum speed and an access point to Fulcrum’s carbon range. This beautifully designed wheelset, which will make your bike unique, are a precious ally when every second counts and the epitome of #FULCRUMFAST.
