\"CarbonFulcrum\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

Excerpts from CyclingTips.com:<\/p>\n

\u201cIn 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.<\/p>\n

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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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.<\/p>\n

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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe rims were firm without being overly stiff. I didn\u2019t 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
