Introduction:
Fulcrum is a new brand in the wheelset market yet it is backed by one of the oldest brands in the industry. Campagnolo launched Fulcrum to build a wheelset and components company that can be appreciated by all cyclists. Campagnolo has been making some of the best wheels in the industry but they are generally ignored by many cyclists who use Shimano components. Aside from the cassette incompatibility between Shimano and Campagnolo, mixing components between the two brands is generally considered as taboo by many cyclists.
Fulcrum wheels are very recognizable and very attractive. They are usually identifiable by the ‘Fulcrum Red’ color. The road wheelset with aluminum rims line-up consists of:
Racing 7 - 1858 grams - $299
Racing 5 - 1756 grams - $399
Racing 3 - 1605 grams - $799
Racing 1 - 1550 grams - $1199
Racing Zero - 1425 grams - $1299
All the wheels are available in clincher version only except for the Racing Zero which is available in clincher and tubular versions.
