Stiff enough for the harshest racing conditions and light enough to fly up any climb, the Racing Zero is Fulcrum's top of the line aluminum wheelset. A new stealthy color scheme and ceramic Ultra Smooth Bearings (USB) deliver exceptional performance with plenty of style.
The Racing Zero's rim is manufactured with Fulcrum's exclusive extrusion process, saving weight without compromising stiffness. The top bridge is not drilled for spoke holes, further increasing torsional rigidity, lightening the rim, and eliminating the need for a rim strip. The 16 spoke front wheel is radially laced to increase aerodynamic advantage while the 21 spoke rear wheel employs Fulcrum's 2-to-1 lacing for maximum stiffness and instant power transfer. Wide bladed spokes increase aerodynamic advantage.
Oversized hubs with aluminum flanges and carbon fiber bodies have incredible strength with minimal weight. Like the entire Fulcrum range, Racing Zero wheels incorporate their patented Dynamic Balance: Fulcrum's precise engineering evenly distributes the wheel's rotating weight, allowing for crisp and predictable handling at the lowest possible weight.
Color: Black/White. Size 700c (622mm ISO). Includes new Fulcrum quick-release skewers with improved leverage and cam action. Also includes a special nipple wrench, spoke magnet, spoke anti-rotation tool, nipple guide magnet, and magnet attracting nipple insert.
The Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed version weighs in at 1420 grams for the set and the Shimano/SRAM 8/9/10 speed version weighs 1465 grams per set (weighed without included quick-release skewers).

Well-engineered and hand assembled perfection at an affordable price!
Am using these on a Specialized S-Works Roubaix with Conti GP4000-S tires (25 mm). Very light, solid feel with smooth ride, precise handling and very reactive to steering input. Rolling resistance and smoothness are incredible due to the ceramic bearings. Super for climbing and almost scary fast on descents. These are replacements for a set of Fulcrum Racing 3s that were taken over by my wife for her Ruby Pro. Much better than the stock tubeless that came with my bike. All rides are on country roads and bike trails that are asphalt and chip-and-seal. I highly recommend these wheels for any serious rider!
