Fulcrum Racing Red Wind XLR Dark 50+80mm Wheels

The most popular wheel depth among triathletes.   With your head down, grip the handlebars in the aerodynamic position and push on the pedals. The impressive 80mm rim pushes you faster towards the finish line.   But what is really impressive about the “XLR 80” is their responsiveness and smoothness you can feel immediately.  And today Fulcrum® allows you to configure your Red Wind XLR 80 according to your preferences. Discover them.  Red Wind XLR 80 mm. Dark Label with Shimano Inc. FW body is compatible with 10 and 11 speed sprockets. 
 

The Red Wind XLR 80 mm. Dark Label wheel is entirely hand-assembled by a specialised Fulcrum® technician and is checked in every tiny detail with electronic instrumentation. This ensures maximum performance and reliability for all Fulcrum® wheels.

RIM PROFILE OPTION

clincher: it allows to use the traditional clincher.

Nipplo1311675614
INTEGRATED ALUMINIUM/CARBON RIM STRUCTURE

the exclusive coupling system of the aluminium rim and carbon structure makes the rim extremely rigid, it allows for excellent responsiveness levels and durability of the wheel.

EXCLUSIVE PRESSING SYSTEM FOR THE RIM IN UNPAINTED CARBON

enables an extremely limited weight and a smooth surface free from imperfections.

DYNAMIC BALANCING ON THE RIM

thanks to a special operation of the production process, the carbon fiber layup is positioned in such a way as to obtain perfect balancing of the rim even at high speeds.

AERODYNAMIC PROFILE IN STEEL

ensuring the maximum aerodynamic penetration and, thanks to the material employed, lower weight and greater reactivity.

SELF-LOCKING OVERSIZE ALUMINIUM NIPPLES

they reduce the peripheral mass of the wheel to a minimum, thus increasing responsiveness. The nipples' self-locking system provides the correct tension of the spokes and does not require any maintenance.

Mozzant1312379238
ALUMINIUM HUB BODY

gives the wheel a high degree of lateral stiffness and reduces weight to the minimum.

OVERSIZED FLANGE ON THE DRIVE SIDE

increases the torsional stiffness, increasing reactivity at each change in rhythm of the pedal stroke.

CUP AND CONE BEARINGS

easy ball/bearing adjustment – reduces possible ball/bearing play – precision operation – maintains performance over time.

3 DIFFERENT BALL/BEARINGS OPTIONS

configure the wheel according to your needs: 
1. top quality standard bearings
2. USB™ ceramic balls
3. balls/bearings with CULT™ system

ALUMINIUM AXLE

it reduces the weight of the wheel

QUICK RELEASE

New, completely redesigned and lighter aerodynamic-profile wheel block. Steel spine and eccentric, lever with drill lightening and aluminum die.
Eccentric-closure system allows cyclist to modulate the pressure necessary for heightened sensitivity to find the proper closure for the block. Easy to use, with a material resistant to wear and tear, rust, and pressure.
