Fulcrum has released three new models of its previously-budget Racing Quattro wheelset. In addition to updating the existing 35mm-depth alloy version, the Quattro range receives two carbon 40mm-deep models, including a disc version.
All three models receive a wider 24.2mm external width (17mm internal) clincher rim design (not tubeless-ready) to better fit with current trends. This isn’t considered overly wide by today's standards, but should help to provide more comfort and a better fit with 25c or larger tyres, while not introducing fitment issues with older, narrower frames.

The Fulcrum Racing Quattro LG
Weighing in at a claimed 1725g, the entry-level Racing Quattro LG (£315 / US$TBC / AU$TBC) gains a 4mm wider aluminium rim. This is claimed to produce a stiffer, more comfortable wheelset, while a new lighter freehub (Shimano/SRAM only) offsets any weight gain from the previous generation.
