DESCRIPTION

The gold standard among high-level aluminum road bike wheels, Fulcrum racing bike wheels combine the unmistakable character that everybody knows well, the absolute ability to transmit your energy on the asphalt, and extreme riding precision. 

Fulcrum wheels stand out among the peloton, thanks to their extraordinary performance and high impact aesthetics, which make these road bike wheels the point of reference for all cyclists. Race after race, its Zero wheels have become synonymous with excellence, quality, performance, reliability… and success.

The front hub on the has been redesigned, to be smaller and so lighter. Smoothness is ensured by the famous USB™ ceramic bearings. The cap and cone technology maintains the most efficient angle of contact between the bearings and bearing seat, increasing the smoothness of your ride, and durability of the wheels themselves.

The front carbon hub and oversize aluminum rear flange provide an innovative mix that provides excellent torsional rigidity and consequently a greater ability to react to what’s ahead of you on the road, and the way you ride. This greater reactivity to each change in pedalling time, and more efficient power transmission to the wheel, add up to a faster, smoother ride.

THE BRAND

Fulcrum Wheels is a wholly-owned subsidiary company of Campagnolo, which has been developing wheels for bikes since 2004. It produces road bicycle and mountain bike wheel-sets compatible with Campagnolo, Shimano and Sram drive-trains.

Believing that the true measure of its products’ success can only be measured on the road, it sets great stall for its continued product development on feedback from professional racers, and the on-road experiences of its own development team.
