    FULCRUM SPEED 55 DB

    £1,899.99 The Speed 55 DB wheelset features Fulcrum’s ‘2-Way Fit’ system which, according to Fulcrum, means they should run well as tubeless or with tubes thanks to extra precise engineering in the valve area. A 19mm internal width is bang on trend and an asymmetrical spoke pattern with 21 at the front and rear should improve balance and stiffness. On the road, the Speed 55s provide a very smooth ride, enhanced by USB ceramic bearings. The freehub whistles quietly, which is appropriate for the regal ride experience, and when you want to crank the power up, engagement is rapid. They’re no trouble at all in the wind, and we think the Speed 55 front wheel would be ideal paired with a rear disc wheel for very fast days. They’re not cheap, but you’re getting a super refined ride feel for the premium. i-ride.co.uk
