Technology:

2-Way Fit™ Ready
If the necessary accessories (valve, rim tape and tyre sealant) are used, the wheelset is tubeless compatible. This makes it particularly versatile and perfectly suited for every situation. An Abrupt loss of air is prevented with this system - which is a clear plus in terms of safety. There is also less snake bite danger, as there is no inner tube that can be damaged.
What about a flat tyre? Don't worry! One of the advantages of the Fulcrum 2-Way Fit Ready system is the possibility of removing the tubeless valve and inserting a normal inner tube to get you home.

Asymmetric Rim
Rim asymmetry is designed to improve the tension of the rim while balancing the forces coming from the brakes and cassette.

Anti-Rotation System™
Fulcrum's technicians have redesigned the spokes and hub shells to create a strong and solid unit. In this way, the spokes never lose their initial tension, keeping the wheel perfectly reactive and centred, and the wheel remains in the position developed in the wind tunnel to ensure the best possible aerodynamics.
