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 for 2017. Now 17mm wide internally, when combined with 25 or 28mm tyres, the rim and tyre form a squarer profile which leads to less drag and better rolling resistance. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation The Zero Nite features a “Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation” treated surface for a dark look and superior braking. 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, it presents excellent wear resistance. There is also a special design for Racing Zero Nite’s braking surface. The design, created by turning, allows superior braking efficiency. Specific blue brake pads should be used with this model. MoMag™ MoMag™ technology means no holes in your rim. No holes me 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 suitible for riders 109KG or over
