Fulcrum Racing Zero Review
If you were going to purchase a model from the Fulcrum Racing series, one of your best options is the Racing Zero. You should bear in mind, however, that it is also going to cost you more than most of the other wheelsets in that series. Still, it is a price well paid for the performance that you receive with the wheelset.
It is also definitely one of the lightest options as well in the series although it is outclassed by similarly priced wheelsets in other brands. This reduced weight as well as the introduction of aero spokes really comes through with the speed of the bike. We found ourselves accelerating and maintaining speed quite easily. The increased rim depth also makes the transfer of power to the wheels that much faster.
One of the things that you have to like about the Racing Zero is that it is quite versatile on different gradients. Whether you are on flat ground or riding up and down slopes, you are treated to the same experience. This is complemented by the level of durability offered by this wheelset. Even when continued to put the wheelset through its paces, slopes and all it did not back down. What’s more, it did not bear the scratches and dents of its adventures, either.
On a final note, it should be advertised that the Racing Zero does have tubeless compatibility. All in all, there are virtually no complaints about this wheelset. It has always performed well and continues to do so time and time again.
+Pros:
- Lighter than other models
- Picks up speed well
- Great on flat ground and slopes
- Tubeless compatibility
- Durable
-Cons:
- A little more expensive than other options
- Comparatively heavy against other brands
The Verdict
The Fulcrum Racing Zero is definitely a wheelset that you should get yourself regardless of whether you are an avid or occasional cyclist.
It is difficult not to sing the praises of the Racing Zero as it is such a well-rounded wheelset.
The Racing Zero has been redesigned. Now 17mm wide internally, when it’s combined with 25 or 28mm tyres the rim and tyre form a squarer profile which leads to less drag and better rolling resistance. Family Legacy The Racing Zero Competizione model takes all of the elements that made the Racing Zero such a fantastic and universally trusted wheel for racing and adds extra performance normally reserved only for top-end carbon fibre models found under World Tour riders. Gold Standard The wheelset that was already considered the gold standard for high-end aluminium racing wheels gets an added performance element in the form of CULT™ ceramic bearings making these wheels every bit as smooth as anything the professional riders have at their disposal. Couple that extreme smoothness (9 times smoother than traditional bearings) with aluminium oversized spokes, MoMag™ technology, TWO TO ONE™ spoke ratio, oversized drive side flange and race optimized rim design and you have a wheelset that should be the envy of most any rider. MoMag™ MoMag™ technology means no holes in your rim. No holes mean that the rim stays uniform at each point, becoming free from stress points or zones of weakness and, if used as a clincher no rim tape needed, reducing weight. This technology gives you greater rim lifetime, resistance to fatigue, run higher tensions for greater stiffness giving you faster acceleration and reactivity. Rider Information Max weight restriction: Riders 82kg+ are advised to be extra vigilant and inspect your wheels more frequently Not suitable for riders 109kg or over
