Fulcrum has released a new flagship wheelset, the Red Zone Carbon+. Fulcrum says that by revising the carbon layup of the rim the wheelset has been made lighter, stiffer, and more reactive.
The new wheels will be Fulcrum's best mountain bike wheelset for cross-country and marathon riding. The brand says it experimented with the mix of resins and FF100 unidirectional high-modulus fibers and called upon the riders of the Buff-Megamo team for real-world and race testing. With the finalized layup, Fulcrum was able to knock 60g from the wheelset while claiming to enhance the handling and reactivity too.
