Fulcrum Red Wind H.50 XLR Clincher USB Wheelset

Simply extraordinary. Two-wheel enthusiasts were waiting for the Fulcrum “aluminium/carbon” wheels and the wait has been rewarded. Indeed the Red Wind XLR represent the top-of-the-range wheels in this segment thanks to their outstanding performance: the special aluminium/carbon structure combined with the oversize hub and spokes with the DRSC ™ fastening system (Directional Rim-Spoke Coupling) give the wheel incredible responsiveness. Available in the Dark Label and Bright Label version.

RIM:
* Aluminium profile for clinchers: it allows to use the traditional clincher. * Integrated aluminium/carbon rim structure: the exclusive coupling system of the aluminium rim and carbon structure makes the rim extremely rigid, it allows for excellent responsiveness levels and durability of the wheel. * Exclusive pressing system for the rim in unpainted carbon: enables an extremely limited weight and a smooth surface free from imperfections. * Dynamic balancing on the rim: thanks to a special operation of the production process, the carbon fiber layup is positioned in such a way as to obtain perfect balancing of the rim even at high speeds. * MoMag: Allows the external profile of the rim to be free of holes – increases structural resistance – makes rim tape unnecessary and reduces the weight of the wheel.

SPOKES: * Aerodynamic profile in steel: ensuring the maximum aerodynamic penetration and, thanks to the material employed, lower weight and greater reactivity. * Spoke Anti-Rotation System: Keeps the spokes in the position of maximum aerodynamic penetration. * 2:1 Two-to-One™: On the rear wheel the number of spokes on the drive side is double that of the opposite side. Greater stability of the wheel thanks to the perfect balance between the spoke tensions – greater torsional stiffness and greater reactivity. * DRMC™ (Directional Rim-Spoke Coupling): exclusive rim/spoke coupling system. It allows the rim, spokes, nipples and hub to align properly with the same tensioning value in all areas. * Self-locking oversize aluminium nipples: they reduce the peripheral mass of the wheel to a minimum, thus increasing responsiveness. The nipples' self-locking system provides the correct tension of the spokes and does not require any maintenance.

HUB: * Aluminium hub body: gives the wheel a high degree of lateral stiffness and reduces weight to the minimum. * Oversized flange on the drive side: increases the torsional stiffness, increasing reactivity at each change * in rhythm of the pedal stroke. * Top quality industrial bearings with adjustment system: maximum smoothness and a long-life performance * Double gasket: protects the ball bearing seats from water and mud, ensures consistent performance over time. * Aluminium axle: it reduces the weight of the wheel
