FULCRUM RACING ZERO C17 cl. SH WHEELSET

The gold standard among high-level aluminum road bike wheels.
With the unmistakable character that everybody knows well, the absolute ability to transmit your energy on the asphalt, its extreme riding precision.
Unrivaled in the peloton: extraordinary performance and high impact aesthetics make these road bike wheel the point of reference for cyclists.
Race after race, Zero wheels have become synonymous with excellence, quality, performance, reliability… and victory!

RDB™ RIM DYNAMIC BALANCE

The concept is simple and elegant: balance the weight of the gasket, with an item of similar weight placed on the exact opposite side.

USB™ – CERAMIC ULTRA SMOOTH BEARINGS™

Fulcrum® has a long-standing reputation for the extremely high performance of its hubs in terms of smoothness and reliability.
In fact, all the projects are entirely developed in our R&D department and we have put obsessive care into taking care of every detail.
The hubs with USB™ ceramic bearings (Ultra Smooth Bearings) further enhance the triathlon and road bike wheels’ smoothness and reduce weight and the need for maintenance.

2:1 TWO-TO-ONE™

When you push on the pedals, the rotational force on the sprocket induces a slackening of the freewheel spokes with a consequent loss of rim tension.
This results in undesirable flex of the whole wheel and an unavoidable loss of energy. Fulcrum® has solved this classic cycling problem with its 2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio patent, by doubling the spokes in the critical zones.

DRSC™ – DIRECTIONAL RIM-SPOKE COUPLING

Exclusive rim/spoke coupling system. It allows the rim, spokes, nipples, and hub to align properly with the same tensioning value in all areas.

MOMAG™

What is MoMag™?
A magnet and lots of ingenuity. This was what led to the patent for the well-tested “Mounting Magnet” system, or MoMag™.

ANTI-ROTATION SYSTEM™

This new system raises the concept of spoking to a new level of performance for a road bike and triathlon wheels ( and mtb too)
The Fulcrum® engineers have redesigned the spokes and the hub housings to create a solid and unmoveable whole. The result is that the spokes

a) will never lose their initial tension, thus keeping the wheel perfectly reactive and centered
b) will remain in the position that has been studied in the wind tunnel tests to ensure the best aerodynamic penetration possible.

TRACEABILITY

A guarantee of quality

The keyword for our products is traceable.

If you find a little label attached to any Fulcrum® product, do not remove it. It will provide you a guarantee in case of an ascertained defectiveness of a production batch, and so the component needed or wheel will be traceable.

All this because, devoted to its mission, Fulcrum® demands the absolute perfection and safety for its customers.

SQUARE MILLING

For the new Racing Zero’s aluminum rim, we decided to keep the triple-milled structure throughout the profile to minimize aluminum thicknesses. Next, our technicians added 3D milling at the base of the spokes.
This means less material but the same reliability since, in this particular design, the forces are well distributed over the rim.
Triple and “Square” milling enable maximum weight reduction on the rim periphery, producing an extremely responsive wheel.

PLASMA FREEHUB

The Plasma treatment makes the aluminum especially hard and resistant to surface abrasion and wear. This has allowed the thickness of materials to be reduced to a minimum, achieving advantages of lighter weight, while maintaining lifespan and reliability.
