Fulcrum’s Speed Team Wheelsets Get a Slight Upgrade

Fulcrum has given its Speed Team wheelsets a couple of upgrades à la a slight cosmetic enhancement, along with some new internal gubbins for its freehub body.

Based upon requests from customers and sponsored riders, Fulcrum decided to treat its Speed Team hoops to some flashy new chrome graphics, while also shedding a few grams from a new red anodized freehub body that now spins on ceramic bearings.

Other than that, things still roll the same with the Speed Team wheelsets, which are available in 42mm or 57mm rim depths for $2820, with a choice of either a Shimano HG11 or SRAM XDR freehub body.

Specs:

• aero blunt-nosed carbon rims
• 23mm internal 2-Way-fit hooked tubeless carbon rim
• 42mm or 57mm deep x max 29.3mm wide
• Optimized aerodynamics for 28mm or 30mm tires
• MoMag continuous rim bed, so NO tubeless tape needed
• Direct Inmold Matt Finish with laser-etched graphics, plus new water-transfer silver chrome logos
• Aluminum hubs with 2:1 lacing
• 24 double-butted, aero-bladed stainless steel straight-pull spokes, front & rear
• Alloy self-locking nipples and composite spacers between the nipple and rim to prevent galvanic corrosion
• Cup & cone USB ceramic bearings
• 3-pawl internals with 36T ring for 10° engagement
• AFS disc brake mount – essentially center lock, but with a proprietary Campagnolo/Fulcrum rotor lockring
• 12mm thru-axles
• HG11 & XDR freehubs available 
• 1395g for the 42mm deep wheelset  
• 1470g for the 57mm deep wheelset
