Fulcrum 2009 [en]

Fulcrum is closely following Campagnolo.
The Campagnolo 2009 range can be summarized to the new 11s groupsets, but as well to some more or less important updates on the wheels. The new technologies featured in Campagnolo range are re-used here too.




Racing XLRThe carbon wheels receive three significant updates. First of all, these high-end wheels beneficiate of the CULT ceramic bearing technology allowing very high durability as well as very low bearing resistance since the grease is not required. Second, they are equipped with a new hub whose drive side flange is bigger to optimize the stiffness. The hubs are quite bling bling with their carbon and red/orange anodized shell. Finally, the braking performances of the carbon rims have been improved thanks to a new brake pad compound.

These high-end Fulcrum wheels are named Racing Speed XLR and Racing Light XLR. The weights are respectively 1325g, and 1225g.

Racing Light XLR Rim Material: Carbon fibre Profile: Drop-shaped, asymmetrical rear rim Height: 21 mm front, 23 mm rear Hub Material: Carbon fibre body, aluminium flanges Bearings: Ceramic with CULT technology FW Compatibility: Campagnolo 9/10/11 v; HG 8/9/10 v; OG 10 v Spokes Material: Steel Profile: Aero with differentiated thickness Spoking: Radial front 22 spokes, 2:1 rear 24 spokes Nipples: self-orienting nuts and plates Weight 1,225 grams

Racing Speed XLR Rim Material: Carbon fibre Profile: High, aerodynamic Height: 50 mm Hub Material: Carbon fibre body, aluminium flanges Bearings: Ceramic with CULT technology FW Compatibility: Campagnolo 9/10/11 v; HG 8/9/10 v; OG 10 v Spokes Material: Steel Profile: Aero with differentiated thickness Spoking: Radial front 18 spokes, 2:1 rear 21 spokes Nipples: self-orienting nuts and plates Weight 1,325 grams

2 Way fitThe Fulcrum Racing Zero and Racing 1 are receiving the « 2 way fit » technology which means you can use both a standard tire, or a tubeless tire. The rims height are differentiated: 24mm deep front, and 28mm deep rear. The weights are respectively 1470g, et 1530g.

Racing Zero 2-Way Fit Rim Material: Aluminium Profile: Fulcrum 2-Way Fit Height: 24 mm front, 28 mm rear Compatibility: Tubeless and Clincher Hub Material: Carbon fibre with aluminium flanges Bearings: Fulcrum FW Compatibility: Campagnolo 9/10/11 v; HG 8/9/10 v; OG 10 v Spokes Material: Aluminium Profile: Aero DB Spoking: Radial front 16 spokes, 2:1 rear 21 spokes Nipples: Ergal Weight 1,470 grams

Racing1 2-Way Fit Rim Material: Aluminium Profile: Fulcrum 2-Way Fit Height: 24 mm front, 28 mm rear Compatibility: Tubeless and Clincher Hub Material: Aluminium Bearings: Fulcrum FW Compatibility: Campagnolo 9/10/11 v; HG 8/9/10 v; OG 10 v Spokes Material: Aluminium Profile: Aero DB Spoking: Radial front 16 spokes, 2:1 rear 21 spokes Nipples: Brass Weight 1,530 grams

Racing Torq RRSFinally, a new crankset is released. It is actually an upgrade of the Racing Torq RS. It receives the same upgrades as the most expensive Campagnolo cranksets: CULT ceramic bearings, new harder materials chainrings offereing a longer life.

Ultra-Torque oversize cups for oversize bottom brackets

Fulcrum developed special aluminium Ultra-Torque OS cups which have the same bearing seat functions as the already renowned Ultra-Torque cups for standard bottom brackets. These OS cups simply replace the standard cups on frames with oversize bottom brackets.Ultra-Torque OS cups for oversize bottom brackets will be available in versions compatible with 86.5 wide shells and with BB30 bottom brackets. Another positive note: the OS cups weigh 20 grams less than standard cups.

From now on it will therefore by possible to order an Ultra-Torque crankset in versions with standard cups, with OS cups for 86.5 bottom brackets or with OS cups for BB30 bottom brackets.
