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 extra speed.
Reactivity, lightness and reliability are the key words of the new Fulcrum Rapid Red Carbon, a product we developed for gravel use (and for 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 an asymmetric “S-Shape” profile . This technology allows you to achieve a better balance between spoke tension.
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 rigidity compared to a traditional U-shaped profile.
For maximum performance with tubeless tires, the rims of the new Rapid Red Carbon are equipped with a 2WF non-drilled bridge - for tubeless .
The non-perforated deck is also finished in C-Lux Finish , a mirror finish that makes tire mounting easier.
The assembly of the wheel is finally completed with Mo-Mag technology , patented by Fulcrum, which involves the fitting of the nipple onto the rim hole through a magnet with a simple yet ingenious operation.
In terms of geometry, the rim has a 30mm high profile equipped with a "mini-hook" system which allows compatibility to be extended to a wider range of pressures. Fulcrum dimensional precision also guarantees greater safety against bead breaking at low pressures, thanks to the greater covering support surface available connected to the 25mm increased internal channel .
And as per #fulcrumfast tradition we also intervened on the look, adopting functional choices for both 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 concentration of technology made in Europe.
