Racing1 wheels are the top of the Fulcrum® range, in aluminium.
Studied for competition at the highest level, they are also the
perfect tools on the day of the century rides.
The 26 mm aluminium rim is lightened by special triple milling
between one spoke and the next, in other words in those sections of
the rim less subject to stress. The peripheral mass is reduced and
the inertia too as a consequence.
Furthermore, there are no holes in the rim. This reduces the weight
– there is no need to use rim tape – and increases the torsional
rigidity and vertical elasticity of the wheel.
The hubs are of the oversize type and are fi tted with adjustable
bearings for maximum smoothness and ease of maintenance.
The spokes are in variable-section aluminium and have a special
design which improves aerodynamic penetration and reduces the
formation of detrimental vortices.
Racing1 wheels are distinguished by the presence of three Fulcrum®
design philosophies: 2:1 Two to One™ Spoke Ratio, MoMag™ e Dynamic
Balance™.
2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke
Ratio
The rear wheel spoke arrangement has double spokes on the freewheel
side. This feature makes the wheel rigid, with lower and balanced
tensions.
Dynamic Balance™
A special machining operation on the rim section opposite the
jointed one balances the two different peripheral masses with the
result that the wheel is perfectly balanced during the rotation
dynamics.
MoMag™
Though there are no holes in the top rim groove, thanks to the
MoMag™ patent Fulcrum® is able to fit Racing1 wheels with
traditional nipples. The advantages are known: greater practicality
in the spoke tensioning operations and extreme simplicity in the
replacement ones.
Racing1 wheels are compatible
with Campagnolo® and Shimano® drivetrains and are available in
black and silver versions.
Tubular NEW!
Racing1 is a wheel conceived for competition. Fulcrum® Wheels could
therefore not shy away from designing a tubular version for
professional riders. The tubular version is still the best solution
for them in terms of comfort, per-formance and grip on the
road.
With Racing1 Tubular, Fulcrum® Wheels provides professional riders
with a news means for imposing themselves in the most prestigious
races.
