The union between attention to aerodynamics and versatility creates Wind 40 DB. It is natural to underline how 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 reported here, in a less specialized version.
40 mm therefore, a light rim, created by superimposing layers of modern unidirectional, wide and with a pronounced nose (8 mm radius) : innovative shapes, designed to merge with the tire in a single element capable of eliminating turbulence, avoiding to interrupt the flow of air that meets the wheel during the race.
But 40 mm also means versatility , because it is in general one of the most appreciated heights by those who do not want to overreact, but have the possibility of having an excellent wheel uphill, stiff and agile, precise when driving.
The system is completed with CNC-designed aluminum hubs that support 24 "straight pull" spokes , guaranteeing maximum overall stiffness both in acceleration and during braking, without influences due to the asymmetrical nature of the forces coming from the disc and sprocket cassette.
Wind 40 DB is certainly the multi-purpose choice, with a decisive attention to aerodynamics, to be very fast uphill, very fast on the plains, and equally fast downhill
