Fulcrum Red Metal Zero XRP Disc Wheel Set
Conceived and developed in close contact with MTB Pro's, Red Metal Zero was known right from the start as an extremely reactive, versatile, and sturdy competition wheel.
And for 2011, Red Metal Zero XRP features new cutting-edge technical content. The brand new Red Metal Zero XRP has a host of new features and cutting-edge
technology. The carbon fibre hub, extremely light, boosts the wheel's reactivity. The freehub body in titanium drastically reduces the weight of the wheel and increases its
performance.The spokes are brand new: the front wheel has 14 crossed straight-head aluminium aero spokes on the left side and 7 radially laced straight-head aluminium
aero spokes on the right side. The rear wheel has 8 crossed straight-head aluminium aero spokes on the left side and 16 radially laced straight-head aluminium aero spokes
on the right side.
The new Red Metal Zero XRP is incredibly light: the hard work of the Fulcrum engineers made it possible to achieve a weight of just 1470 g, a full 130 g less than the
Red MetalTM Zero 2010, making the XRP the lightest tubeless XC wheel in aluminium on the market.

The 2:1 Two-to-One
system has been used for all the rear wheels and for the first time Fulcrum has also
extended their advantages to all the front wheels fitted with disc brakes. The doubling
of the spokes on the critical side makes it possible to reduce the unit load borne by
each spoke as the spokes themselves are no longer subject to the mechanical stress
resulting from the different disc.
MoMag
MoMag technology is integrated in wheels which do not have drilling of the top bridge of
the rim. The nipples in these wheels are guided to their seat by employing a little magnet.
Their accessibility from the outside makes it possible to carry out all the spoke tensioning
and replacement operations conveniently. The absence of holes on the rim permits all the
original strength to be maintained as well as the use of tubeless tyres. The hermetically
sealed valve ensures that the tubeless tyre is kept under pressure.
