OS-Fit™ Cups

CULT™

The Fulcrum® Racing Torq™ crankset
structure consists of two semi-axles
ﬁxed to the respective arms andcoupled together by means of afrontal joint of the Hirth type.
The Ultra Torque™ axle assemblyis inside the bottom bracket shellin order to reduce lateral bulk. Its
life over time is increased by the
new anodization treatment which
also comes with a darker and moreaggressive colour. Compatibility
with the most common drivetrains is
ensured.

The Ultra Torq™ OS-Fit™ cups by
Fulcrum® have been designed torespond to the growing trend offrames with oversize bottom bracket
shell. We developed these cups sothat we wouldn’t have to modify thedistinctive performance features andlightness of the Racing Torq™ crankset.
The OS-Fit™ cups simply replace thestandard Racing Torq™ cups and havethe same bearing seat function.
OS-Fit™ cups are available in versions
compatible with bottom bracket shells
with 86.5 mm diameter and with
BB30 bottom brackets, and are 20
grams lighter than the standard cups.
A special tool is required for ﬁtting the
OS-Fit™ cups.

Ceramic Ultimate Level Technology,
CULT™. It’s the technical advancement
adopted for the most revolutionary
crankset in the Fulcrum® range, theRacing Torq™ RRS, an unprecedented
system which guarantees performanceat the maximum level. As well as
using the best ceramic ball bearingson the market, a new treatment for
the races and bearings has beendeveloped with Cronitect® steel, using
the “Advanced by FAG” technology
by Schaefﬂer Group.
Maximum corrosion resistance, nogrease is necessary for lubrication,
just a small amount of oil.

RACING TORQ RRS™

Racing Torq™ RRSThere are no compromises in the
top of the range crankset in theFulcrum® series. The use of CULT™
technology and of the High Efﬁciency
Hard-Ox anodization treatment for the

DPDWHXUHQWKXVLDVWVKDVLGHQWLÀHGDQGGHYHORSHGWKHÀYHPRVWVLJQLÀFDQW
indicators that will allow you to choose the best wheel for your riding style
DQG\RXUQHHGVWhat does S.H.A.R.C. stand for?

Smoothness

Reactivity

This indicator helps you understandthe degree of smoothness of one
wheel with respect to another thanks,
for example, to the use of highperformance the CULTTM ceramicball bearings, or the USBTM ceramicball bearings, or thanks to othertechnologies applied to the wheelsuch as 2-Way FitTM.

How “ready” and quick is the wheel
in response to your change of paceon the pedals?
The reactivity index of the wheel refers
precisely to this concept.
Reactivity depends on the weightof the rim and of the wheel in
its entirety, on the torsional stiffness(i.e. how much the wheel deforms
around the hub at the momentin which the cyclist pushes on thepedals), the ﬂexional stiffness (i.e. theextent to which the wheel maintains its
shape along its axis when it is shifted,
due to the push on the pedal, fromthe vertical axis), and on inertia.

Handling
This is the agility and reactivityof the wheel in changing direction
at a given impulse on the partof the rider. This indicator depends
on the geometry of the spokes andof the hub, and on the cross-sectionof the rim, the materials used,
and the type of tire.

Aerodynamic
Indicates the performance featuresof the wheel in terms of its propensity
to penetrate the air. This factor
depends on the height and proﬁleof the rim, the section and formof the spokes, and the degrees
of camber of the wheel.

Comfort
Do you prefer a wheel that canabsorb the ruggedness of the terrain
or an absolutely rigid wheel withno compromise? It depends on yourdriving style and your particularneeds. The comfort index aims tohelp you to understand the behaviourof the wheel in the case of roads
that are not perfectly smooth, and inany case to help you understand theextent to which the wheel transmits thevibrations of your bike.

Fulcrum® provides you with all the technical information,
but now it’s up to you to decide which is the perfect wheel for your needs!
Your passion, your way of riding your bike, and your feeling will
enable you to make the best choice.

Tyre burst test

before the manufacturing stage,
each wheel and each of its
components are subjected to longand very challenging tests that ensure
the durability and performanceover time.

all Fulcrum® wheels are tested at
inﬂation pressures well above thoseindicated on the tyre.

Crash Test

Enviroment Test

it simulates the impact of the wheels
with possible obstacles. The Fulcrum®
tests have successfully passed the tests
required by UCI standards.

exposure to UVA and UVB rays,
salt attack and exposure to moisture:these are the tests that all Fulcrum®
wheels must pass to ensure maximum
performance and reliability over time.

100% Manually assembled andElectronically checked
The pre-emptive tests mentioned
above may be sufﬁcient.
But not for Fulcrum® who wants
to ensure the highest qualityof each individual wheel,checking the parameters at theend of the production process.
This is why Fulcrum® made a clear
and conscious choice: to assemble
each wheel manually and submit
it to a series of ﬁnal checks
that guarantee their quality.
This is the only way, thanks tothe entirely manual assembly bytrained and specialised personnel
and the ﬁnal 100% checks carriedout by specially designed electronic
instruments, it is possible to ensure
the quality of the wheel you havepurchased.

- Balancing: it guarantees the absenceof vibrations at fast speed.
- Lateral and radial control: it
guarantees the perfect alignmentof the wheel to ensure rollingof the wheel.
- Camber: it ensures the perfectsymmetry of the wheels withthe bicycle.
- Spokes tension: it ensures optimalbalance at every point of the wheel.
- Rolling torque of the hub: it insuresa perfect adjustment of the hubs.
This is why, from its 2012 range,
Fulcrum® wanted to supply eachwheel with its own Identity Card (ID)which uniquely identiﬁes the wheel
and certiﬁes that it has been manuallyassembled and has passed all tests
required by the strict quality protocol.

ALLUMINIUM/CARBON ProjectNot all aluminium/
carbon wheels
DUHLGHQWLFDO
Even for this rangeof wheels Fulcrum®
demanded top
performance levels,
pursuing clearlychallenging project
WDUJHWV

ResponsivenessThe aluminium/carbon wheels havebeen manufactured with technicaldetails that make them incredibly
responsive to a cyclist’s change in pace:- Oversize Flange: the size of rightﬂange of the rear wheel has been
designed in order to maximise thetransmission of power to the wheel
and to increase the tensional rigidity
and overall responsiveness of thewheel.

- DRSC™ Technology: the Directional
Rim-Spoke Coupling system allows to
obtain a perfect alignment for the rim,
nipples, spokes and hub. This allows
to eliminate any tensions between
the components and to obtain highspoke tension values. In terms of
performance, this means greater
responsiveness and maintaining thesevalues over time.

Maximum technology has also been
applied to this new range of wheels.
Fulcrum® has indeed designed thesewheels by setting 4 clear objectives
to be able to achieve maximum
performance and reliability:- High responsiveness levels- Outstanding smoothness
performance

Smoothness- Aerodynamics designed andoptimised to minimise the coefﬁcientof air penetration and, at the sametime, make the wheel easy to handle
and safe even with cross winds.
- An extremely competitive weight forthis category of wheels.
The Fulcrum® R&D has once again
successfully reached the objectives set.

- Special spoking: the double spokes
on the right side of the rear wheel
and the exclusive spoking system by
Fulcrum® allow to increase the lateral
stiffness of the wheel, thus increasing
the energy transferred from the cyclist
to the wheel. This system, also reduces
the stress of the spokes on the sprocket
set side and keeps the wheel steadyand balanced even at fast speed or in
the case of heavier cyclists.
- Straight-head spokes: they increase
the responsiveness of the wheel thanks
to the possibility to set high values
for the tension of the spokes, by also
maintaining these high tensions over
time.

12

The Fulcrum® wheels have always
distinguished themselves for being
extremely smooth. The Red WindTM
wheels retain this property thanks to
the leading-edge technology of thematerials used and the technicalsolutions that the Fulcrum® R&D
is able to design.
- CULT™ technology: 9 times
smoother compared to traditional
bearings thanks to the special
steel treatment of the cup/cone(CRONITECT® technology developedby Schoefﬂer) and thanks to thebest ceramic balls available on thebicycle market. This technology
allows to avoid lubricating grease,which is replaced exclusively by aﬁlm of oil and also allows to maintainperformance over time thanks to theabsence of corrosion.
- USB™ technology: using the bestceramic bearings allows to reduce
friction, increase smoothness andmaintain performance over time.
- Exclusive bearing adjustment
system: the system designed by
Fulcrum® to adjust the bearings allows
for easy and immediate maintenance;it also allows the races/bearings toalways maintain the correct position,
eliminating possible clearance
between the components in friction.
- Cone/cup system: there is always
an optimal angle of contact between
the balls and the cup/cone. As wellas increasing smoothness,this also
maintains performance over time.

This all led to the goal of making thewheel extremely aerodynamic in any
situation. But for Fulcrum® this is notenough. The Red WindTM wheels havebeen designed to be easy to handle
and safe even with cross winds.
Thanks to simulations it was possible
to understand which areas had moreinterference in the case of cross winds.
To reduce these negative effects to aminimum, the design of the rim, thespokes and the hub have been done
to minimise interference making thehigh-proﬁle wheels adequate to any
situation.

WeightAlthough these are wheels dedicatedto fast competitions and time trial,
Fulcrum® did not want to compromiseon performance. In this case its
long-standing experience in terms ofwheels and carbon ﬁbre components,
was extremely useful to develop the
new aluminium/carbon wheels.
The result is deﬁnitely signiﬁcantand positions the high-proﬁle wheels
amongst the best in terms of weight.
This result was made possible thanks
to the moulding technologyof the rim, which requires no priming
and allows to reduce the weightof the carbon proﬁle to a minimum.
The hub to has been designed
to minimise weight and, in the XLR
version, has been lightened thanks
to the use of aluminium.

Aerodynamics
Not just maximum aerodynamic
penetration, but also manoeuvrability
in the presence of cross winds.
- The proﬁle of the rim has been
conceived and designed incollaboration with the top Triathlon
and Time Trial athletes and optimised
thanks to computerised simulation
research. Aerodynamics has been
optimised thanks to the aerodynamic
proﬁle of the rim, especially where
the spokes are attached, theiraerodynamic proﬁle and their position
with respect to the rim.

2-Way Fit™

2-Way Fit™ SURÀOH
for tubeless and clincher
Tubeless technology was ﬁrst usedby the auto industry , then by
motorcycles and now has reached thecycling industry. After its debut withmountain bikes the moment has cometo “put it on the road”, and that’s
what we propose to do. We havedeveloped our 2-Way Fit™ technology
to ensure the perfect compatibility ofour tubeless rims with normal clincher
types and tubes. 2-Way Fit™ wheels
are perfectly multipurpose for tackling
every situation.
Thanks to a special impression in
the valve area, the tubes are ﬁtted
with the maximum precision while
keeping the tube perfectly stable
inside the tyre. Housing the valve fortubeless tyres is also risk-free, with theunquestionable advantage that there
are never any air inﬁltrations caused
by non-ideal positioning when ﬁtting.
The advantages are indisputable:

14

our tests have highlighted an uniqueincrease in smoothness. Because there
is no tube, the friction caused byrubbing against the tyre is eliminated,while the perfect adherence of the tyreto the rim prevents the dispersion ofenergy.
Tubeless tyres do not suffer fromsudden deﬂation when punctured
which is a great advantage in safety
terms. There is also no risk of snake
bites as there is no tube to rupture.
What if a tubeless tyre gets
punctured? There’s nothing to fear...
With Fulcrum® 2-Way Fit™ you canremove the tubeless valve and ﬁt in astandard clincher tire that will let you
ride back home.

Ultra-Fit™

Ultra Fit™ TubelessHere’s the interface between the
tubeless tyre and the rim. The form
we have studied for our rims with
Ultra-Fit™ Tubeless technology
means that the sides of the tyre mateperfectly with the shoulders of therim when it is ﬁtted. The result is
exceptionally smooth: for whizzing
speedily without tubes!
By eliminating every possible
movement between the rim andtubeless tyres, all energy dispersion
is also eliminated. The Ultra-Fit™
Tubeless wheels well exceed any otherwheel ﬁtted with traditional tyres in
our tests.
The ﬁrst installing of the tyre is also
made with great ease: two special
tracks on the rim groove keep the tyre
perfectly in position.

15

MoMag™

MoMag™
What is MoMagTM?
A magnet and lots of ingenuity.
This was what led to the patent for
the well-tested “Mounting Magnet”
system, or MoMagTM.
How does it work? The nipples,
once inserted inside the rim via
the valve hole, are “guided” to thepoint of connection with the spokeby means of the magnet.
This simple but ingenious system
makes it possible to have a wheel
without holes on the upper bridge,
but with spokes tensionedby traditional nipples!

Advantages: No holes on the rimmeans that the rim is uniform at every
point, free from stress points or zones
of weakness and, for the clincher
proﬁles no rim tape is required,to the beneﬁt of weight reduction.
The advantages are immediately
clear: greater rim lifetime,
greater resistance to fatigue,
the possibility to give the spokes
greater tension, and greater stiffness
which, in terms of performance,
mean greater reactivity
and acceleration.
But that’s not all. The advantages
also include extremely quick
and simple maintenanceand spoke replacement.
All to the beneﬁt of cyclists
who choose Fulcrum®.

RDB Rim Dynamic Balance™

Dynamic Balance™
Aluminium rims
The concept is simple and elegant:balance the weight of the gasket,
with an item of similar weight placedon the exact opposite side. For top
models, this is obtained by a special
operation on the section of the rim
opposite the rim joint.
For entry-level models, Dynamic
Balance™ is obtained by using two
oversized spokes in the section
opposite the joint. The result isa wheel with perfectly balanced
rotational dynamics.

RIM Dynamic Balance™
Carbon Wheels
For carbon wheels the principle is thesame, but applied using a different
technology. When making carbonrims, the pieces of carbon fabric arealigned in such a manner that theresulting rim is always balanced.

17

Brake pads
New brake pads made especiallyfor carbon wheels: the new blend
increases the brake performance on
both dry and wet surfaces without
increasing the wear and tear on thepad. For a more modular and moresecure stop.

Anti Rotation System
This new system raises the conceptof spoking to new heights ofperformance.
The Fulcrum® engineers haveredesigned the spokes and the
hub housings to create a solid andunmoveable whole. The result is thatthe spokes a) will never lose theirinitial tension, thus keeping the wheel
perfectly reactive and centred, andb) will remain in the position that was
found in wind tunnel tests to ensure
the best aerodynamic penetration
possible.

18

2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio™

When you push on the pedals, therotational force on the sprocket
induces a slackening of the freewheel
spokes with a consequent loss of rim
tension. This results in undesirable
ﬂex of the whole wheel and an
unavoidable loss of energy. Fulcrum®
has solved this classic cycling problem
with its 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio
patent, by doubling the spokes in thecritical zones.
As a result there are two spokes
which carry out the function of one,slackening and torsion are limited
and the transfer of the athlete’s power
is much more effective.
Also, thanks to this system, spoke
tensions are balanced more evenly
between drive and non-drive sides
and the fatigue life of the rim, hub
and spokes is lengthened.

19

CULT

™

CULT™: Ceramic Ultimate
Level Technology™
Behind this project is the exclusivenessof Cronitect® steel; using “Advanced by
FAG” technology by Schaefﬂer Group
employed for the bearing races.
This is steel which takes resistance tocorrosion to the highest level; to thepoint that, no grease is necessary for
lubrication, just a small amount of oil.

The top quality ceramic balls, thanks tothe absence of lubricating grease andthe precision machining of the cup/cone, allow to drastically reduce thefriction coefﬁcient and thus increase thesmoothness of the wheel by as much as
9 times compared to standard bearings.
An outstanding result achieved by using
cutting-edge technologies in the ﬁeld ofmaterials processing.

20

The test performed involves spinning
the wheel to 500 rpms then letting it
decelerate. The test results are amazing:
the wheel equipped with CULTTM ballbearings continues its motion for a full
45 minutes, i.e. nine times longer thanstandard bearings.
CULT™ is on Racing Light™ XLR, Racing
Speed™ XLR, Racing Chrono™, Red
Wind™ XLR, Red Wind™ XLR 80mm
and Red Wind™ XLR 105mm.

USB

™

Ceramic
Ultra Smooth Bearings™
Fulcrum® has a long-standing
reputation for the extremely highperformance of its hubs in terms ofsmoothness and reliability.
In fact, all the projects are entirely
developed in our R&D department
and we have put obsessive care into
taking care of every detail.
The hubs with USBTM ceramicbearings (Ultra Smooth Bearings)
further enhance the wheels’smoothness and reduce weight andthe need for maintenance.
Comparative tests have shown that
USBTM bearings are 50% smootherthan standard bearings.
Now improving your performance
during the race or simply going for aride with your friends will be easier.

21

Quick Release
What is the Fulcrum® Quick
5HOHDVH"
The Fulcrum Quick Release is not
simply a wheel locking/release system.
First and foremost, it is the component
that guarantees the cyclist’s safety,
especially at high speeds, such as inroad races.
The Fulcrum Quick Release project
started with a very clear objective:
the maximum performance in termsof easy assembly/disassembly,
weight, smoothness of the wheel,
but without compromising safety
in any way.
The patented Fulcrum® mechanismis the one that best meets these needs.
The lever is positioned centrally withrespect to the axis of the hub axle, i.e.
in the best position to put both ends ofthe axle in traction without differencesin load between the sides.
The axle is in the form of a cam
and applies the closure traction
on the axis of the quick release.
Starting from the 2012 range,
for the Red WindTM XLR family
and for all the high-proﬁle wheels,
Fulcrum® presents the brand new
aerodynamic quick releases.
The mechanics and the design arethose of the well-tested Fulcrum®
patent, and the lever has been
designed for the maximum
aerodynamic penetration.

22

Advantages
Thanks to the cam axle closure,
it is simple and intuitive to understandthe force to be applied for correctly
closing the quick release and,even more importantly, the cam
creates a mechanical impediment
to the opening of the release, making
it extremely safe during road use.
The fork positioned symmetrically withrespect to the sides of the leverand centrally with respect to theaxis of the skewer, enables an even
distribution of the loads and forcesat each point of the skewer,
thus avoiding critical breakage points
and at the same perfect closure
the fork of the frame and the wheel.
The symmetry of the lever and thespecial shape of the cam makelocking and releasing the Fulcrum®
wheel extremely easy, ﬂuid, and safe.
The new aerodynamic form,
moreover, considerably improves
the aerodynamic coefﬁcientof the range of wheels dedicatedto time trial disciplines.
