The new Wind wheels are not only suitable for road use, but also for light off-road use (ASTM 2 category of use), enhancing riding pleasure even off the busy roads. A design that meets the different declinations that are increasingly becoming established in the use of road bikes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWind 57 inherits from the Speed family - top of the road range in terms of performance - many of Fulcrum's proprietary technologies, to offer a superior riding feeling compared to the previous generation.

After its debut in mountain biking, it is now time to 'put it on the road' by offering new types of wheels for racing bikes. We thus developed 2-Way Fit™ technology to ensure the perfect compatibility of our tubeless wheels even with normal clinchers and inner tubes. 2-Way Fit™ wheels are perfectly multi-purpose to deal with any situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks to a special indentation in the valve area, tubes are fitted with maximum precision, keeping the tube perfectly stable inside the clincher. The valve for tubeless tyres is also accommodated without risk, with the undoubted advantage that there is never any air infiltration due to sub-optimal positioning during assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDRSC™ - Directionated Rim-Spoke Coupling\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe exclusive rim\/spoke coupling system makes it possible to align the rim, spokes, nipples and hub by distributing the same amount of tension at each point, thus eliminating the most critical areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMomag™\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat is the MoMag™?\u003cbr\u003eA magnet and a lot of ingenuity. This is how the patent for the proven 'Mounting Magnet' system was born.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nipples, once inserted inside the rim via the valve hole, are 'guided' to the point of engagement with the spoke by means of the magnet. Thanks to this simple trick, it is possible to obtain a wheel without holes on the upper bridge, but with spokes tensioned by traditional nipples!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe absence of holes on the rim is also synonymous with a product that is homogeneous throughout, free of critical points or areas of failure. In fact, for clincher profiles, the use of Rim Tape is no longer necessary. The advantages are immediately perceptible: less weight, longer rim life, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility of greater tensioning of the spokes and greater rigidity which, in terms of performance, mean more reactivity and acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnti-Rotation System™\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis new system dedicated to road bike wheels takes the concept of spoking to a new level of performance.\u003cbr\u003eIn fact, Fulcrum® engineers have redesigned the spokes and hub seats to create a solid and immovable whole.

Do not remove it: it is essential to give you the guarantee that, in the event of an ascertained defect in a production batch, your component or your wheel will be traceable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll this because Fulcrum®, true to its mission, demands absolute perfection for its product and safety for its customer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAFS Axle System™\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Axial Fixing System™ is the solution developed by Fulcrum® for fixing the disc brake to the hub.

This ensures stability, excellent handling and superior comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEveryone agrees that better comfort on the bike equals less physical and mental fatigue, thus enabling better performance and results.\u003cbr\u003eThe larger tyre footprint creates a better and more stable footing, while the shape created by the tyre and rim junction creates a smooth and stable air flow, ultimately more aerodynamic, thus reducing friction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUndrilled Rim Bed\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe absence of holes in the upper deck is synonymous with a product that is homogeneous throughout, free of critical points subject to stress.\u003cbr\u003eThe advantages are immediately perceptible: less weight, longer rim life, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility to tension the spokes more and greater stiffness which, in terms of performance, means more reactivity and acceleration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eIncluded\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUser manual. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x 70 mm valves. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x tyre lifters. \n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x AFS centrelock ferrules.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUseful documentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.fulcrumwheels.com\/en\/support\/download-area\/download-user-manuals\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHere you will find product catalogues, User Manuals, Technical Manuals, Video Tutorials and annual Spare Parts Catalogues.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/adapters.fulcrumwheels.com\/?id=1\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHere you will find the Fulcrum codes used to transform the specifications of a wheel.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/valves.fulcrumwheels.com\/?id=2\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eHere you will find the Fulcrum codes for the valve kits of each 2Way-Fit or 2Way-Fit Ready wheel.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Fulcrum","offers":[{"title":"Shimano","offer_id":48058842874097,"sku":"RW57-24DFR22AS","price":1382.22,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sram XD-R","offer_id":48058842906865,"sku":"RW57-24DFR22AX","price":1538.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Campagnolo N3W","offer_id":48058842939633,"sku":"RW57-24DFR22AC3","price":1404.01,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0794\/1580\/4145\/files\/zm_20240123-060606.jpg?v=1776539327","url":"https:\/\/novasportsbikes.com\/products\/fulcrum-wind-57-db-2wf-c21-afs-wheelset-1","provider":"Nova Sports Bikes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
