The Fulcrum Wind 42 Disc Brake Wheelset is designed for modern road cyclists who want a perfect balance of speed, comfort and versatility. Built to handle smooth tarmac and light off-road riding, these wheels are ideal for endurance rides, fast group rides and exploring beyond traffic-congested roads.

Smooth, Stable & Confident Ride Feel

The 42mm carbon rim strikes the ideal balance between aerodynamic performance and everyday usability. Combined with a 23mm internal rim width, the Wind 42 supports tyres from 25mm up to 69mm, improving comfort, grip and rolling efficiency across a wide range of surfaces.

This makes the Wind 42 perfect for endurance road riding and modern “all-road” setups.

Proven Fulcrum Carbon Technology

Constructed from FF80 full carbon, the Wind 42 inherits key technologies from Fulcrum’s Speed range to deliver a more stable, responsive and confidence-inspiring ride. The updated rim profile improves control in changing conditions while maintaining excellent cruising efficiency.

Reliable Hubs & Braking Performance

The aluminium hubs run on sealed bearings for smooth performance and low maintenance, while the Centre Lock disc interface ensures consistent braking in all weather conditions. A redesigned graphic finish completes the wheelset with Fulcrum’s modern Form Function Fulcrum identity – minimal, technical and refined.
