Truly and outstanding set of wheels from Fulcrum. Great looks, outstanding performance and a bucket full of technology all make for a wheelset that delivers top-end performance regardless of weather. If you are looking for a set of non-aero wheels that perform like aero wheels, consider these. Plasma Treatment This new technology gives this wheelset an ‘all black’ look. The Plasma treatment process creates an extremely hard and wear resistant surface and allows superior braking in wet conditions. The ‘grooves’ in the braking surface allow water to drain away increasing braking friction. This is possible thanks to a very fine and compact matrix of alpha and microcrystalline gamma alumina and amorphous alumina embedded on the surface. Thanks to the high hardness of the layer, this new wheel presents excellent wear resistance. With these wheels carbon brake pads must be used. Rear Hub Carbon hub with oversize aluminum flange and Two-to-One technology: the doubling of the spokes on the cassette side provides greater torsional stiffness and therefore a greater reactivity at each pedal stroke. This means greater efficiency in the transmission of power to the wheel. Front Hub The front hub has been redesigned, now it is smaller and lighter than before, smoothness will be ensured by the well known USB bearing technology. Finally Fulcrum 2:1 spoke ratio on rear wheel double the number of spokes on the drive side for greater wheel stability and improved power transfer in the rear wheel. The Racing Zero Nite wheels feature Fulcrums USB ceramic bearings which are 30% lighter40% more resistant and 50% smoother compared to the steel bearings featured in the 3's 5's and 7's….
