Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon: speed to discover new horizons.
The Rapid Red family is completed with wheels dedicated to those who want to push themselves to discover new territories and new paths, with the fun of a little more speed.
Reactivity, lightness and reliability are the keywords of the new Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon, a product that we have developed for gravel use (and whatever gravel means to you), using the best of the technology of our top of the range wheels.
Lightness and reactivity are guaranteed by the 700C carbon rim with asymmetrical “S-Shape” profile . This technology allows you to achieve a better balance between the tension of the spokes.
The optimized balance also translates into maintaining high performance over time. Furthermore, the particular shape of the rim profile generates a 2.5% increase in lateral stiffness compared to a traditional U profile.
For maximum performance with tubeless tires, the rims of the new Rapid Red Carbon are equipped with a 2WF non-perforated bridge - for tubeless .
The non-perforated bridge is also finished in C-Lux Finish , a mirror finish that facilitates tire mounting.
Finally, the assembly of the wheel is completed with Mo-Mag technology , patented by Fulcrum, which requires a simple and ingenious operation to seat the nipple on the rim hole through a magnet.
In terms of geometry, the rim has a 30mm high profile equipped with a “mini-hook” system that allows compatibility to be extended to a wider range of pressures. Fulcrum dimensional accuracy also guarantees greater safety against bead breaking at low pressures, thanks to the greater support surface available connected to the increased 25mm internal channel .
And as per #fulcrumfast tradition we also intervened on the look, adopting functional choices both for aesthetics and performance.
The Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon are the solution for demanding riders, for those looking for a top-of-the-range product with a concentrate of technology made in Europe.
