Fulcrum Racing 1 Competition Ltd Edition Clincher Wheelset 2012

Fulcrum Racing 1 Competition Ltd Edition Clincher Wheelset 2012

The Racing 1 Competition Limited Edition wheels come with a new Mega drive side hub flange on the rear wheel, this increases the torsional stiffness by 8% over the standard 2012 version, making these even more reactive. Fulcrum have also managed to reduce the weight from 851g to 808g, a saving of 5%. Of course they've also had an amazing looking graphics treatment!

Racing 1 Competition wheels have competition in their DNA. If you’re looking for a lightweight wheel that gives the best performance under any condition and has a marvellously aggressive look, you’ve found it.

The aluminium rims have a differentiated profile front and rear. The front wheel height is 26 mm to achieve perfect aerodynamic penetration, while the rear increases to 30 mm to provide all the stiffness necessary to transmit every watt of your power. Both rims feature the characteristic Fulcrum® toroidal milling between the anchoring points of the spokes. The fact that the rim grooves do not have holes translates into greater torsional stiffness and greater vertical elasticity.

The spokes are in aluminium with aero profile and a central section of 2.6 mm, 16 radial for the front wheel and 21 for the rear wheel distributed according to the famous Fulcrum® 2:1 spoking, with double the number of spokes on the cassette side. The nipples are in aluminium, too, which reduces the important peripheral mass of the wheel, thereby increasing its performance in acceleration.

The oversize hubs are in aluminium. Smoothness is guaranteed by special bearings designed and produced by Fulcrum® that have many more balls than normal industrial bearings and hence produce unparalleled smoothness. Racing 1 Competition wheels were born to be fast, so Fulcrum has equipped them with the patented Dynamic BalanceTM system that makes them stable and precise even at high speed.

Racing 1 Competition wheels are compatible with Campagnolo®, Shimano Inc. and Sram Co. drivetrains and are supplied with the new Fulcrum® quick releases.
