Fulcrum Red Heat MTB FreeRide Wheelset Compatibility and Specifications

Fulcrum Red Heat MTB Clincher disc brake wheelset 2011.

Fulcrum is a Campagnolo brand.

With this newly born wheel, Fulcrum® shows its desire to be an established player in the world of Downhill and Freeride. The red “F” company already "rules" this world with the indestructible Red Fire.

A result of a joint collaboration between Fulcrum® engineers and the most demanding world class cyclists, the Red Heat is the best option to introduce yourself to the DH/FR world.

Designed to be solid and strong, the Red Heat is ready to avoid any obstacles and land safely after a jump. Weighing less than 2200g, it is an excellent achievement for its category. Designed for classic clincher and tube wheels, the Red Heat boasts a 22mm rim for a better foot print and unfaltering grip.
The graphics were specially designed to give the wheels a more aggressive look and to make bikes more attractive from the wide handlebars to over 150mm "ranges".
The hubs are oversize, in aluminium alloy, and adopt the Thru-Axle standards (20 mm/110mm for the front wheel and 12 mm/150mm for the rear). This increases rigidity, offers better wheel control and avoids friction between discs and pads.

There are 32 plain and reinforced spokes both in the front and rear wheel, made of variable section stainless steel (Ø 2,2/2/1,8/2) .

Simpler maintenance is also a feature, self-locking nipples, and re-designed spoke interfaces ensure easier spoke replacement.

Red HeatTM is compatible with all the 6-bolt ISO breaking systems.
