Fulcrum debuts in freeride biking with a wheel conceived for the most daring, but without forgetting that the bike's lightness is important, even going downhill.
The anodized red rim made only for tubeless tyres which, thanks to the Ultra-Fit™ Tubeless system, can adhere perfectly. Therefore eliminating the dispersion of energy to the complete benefit of speed and performance. Weight is saved by milling the rim. Very great attention was focussed on the wheel's dynamic behaviour: it is no coincidence that asymmetrical drilling was chosen to permit better spoke balancing, leaving sufficient space for the disc brake and sprocket set. A freeride wheel like the Red Fire™ certainly cannot overlook strength. That is why Fulcrum chose a sole solution: the adoption of the thru-axle for the rear wheel too. The two axles are 20 and 12 millimetres respectively. The wheels are compatible with ISO six-bolt brake discs only.
Technologies: Technoloy Ultra-Fit™ Tubeless - The rim was developed during the design stage to obtain perfect adherence with the tyre. The consequent elimination of friction makes it possible to improve performance considerably. Energy dispersion is drastically reduced by the tubeless tyre.
The advantages are indisputable even in terms of practicality. Fitting the tyre is facilitated by the form of the rim while two tracks in the rim groove help keep the type perfectly positioned at all times.
Oversize Axle - The hubs designed for Fulcrum® wheels employ a generously dimensioned design for both the central body and for the rotation axis. The diameter of the latter, 20 mm for all the models with disc brakes, guarantees high resistance to transverse and torsional stresses. A contribution is also made to this result by the mechanical architecture of the hub which, in the AFSTM version, is provided with bearings with a double ball-bearing race positioned outside the flange, so that it is aligned with the disc on the respective side.
