Fulcrum’s Racing Quattro rims offer the comfort of wider rims with the appeal of carbon at a manageable price point. The Quattro line has expanded to include a disk break option, making it one of the most versatile wheel sets on the market.
Excerpts from CyclingTips.com:
“In the last 12 months, Fulcrum has started overhauling its road wheel collection with wider rims. They have also added disc-equipped wheelsets and introduced lower-priced carbon rims. Where once the Racing Quattro was a single product, now there are three that embody the latest refinements.
The Racing Quattro LG wheelset has a 35mm alloy clincher rim that is 24mm wide; the Racing Quattro Carbon has a 40mm carbon clincher rim that is also 24mm wide; and the Racing Quattro Carbon DB adds disc-compatible hubs, front and rear, to the 40mm carbon rim.”
“I found the Quattro Carbon wheelset was immediately comfortable and sure-footed. It was also quick to change direction as I weaved across the road and aimed for the apex of turns.
Perhaps the easiest test for the responsiveness of any wheel is to jump out of the saddle and push against the pedals; any lag in acceleration is a mark against the wheels. I found the Quattro Carbon wheelset was quite satisfying in this regard: on the flats, they were eager to move, but there was some hesitation on the slopes that was most obvious on steep grades.”
“The rims were firm without being overly stiff. I didn’t notice any brake rub at any point, nor was I bothered by harsh road surfaces. Overall, I found the wheels were versatile performers and I enjoyed riding them over any terrain, including dirt paths.”
