Fulcrum Red Metal 29 XL MTB Wheelset Tubeless Compatibility and Specifications

Fulcrum Red Metal 29 XL MTB Tubeless disc brake wheelset 2011.

Fulcrum is a Campagnolo brand.

XL is the abbreviation of Extra Light and expresses the work carried out by the Fulcrum® engineers to lower the weight of the already high-performing Red Metal 29” 2010. The new wheel weighs 1750 g, almost 100 grams less than the previous version.
The rim is new, more rigid thanks to the new design of the profile, and lightened as the result of a special single milling.

The new circular section aluminium straight-head spokes enable greater and more durable tensions, increasing the wheel’s performance and keeping it consistent over time.
The spoking system is hybrid: for the front, 16 crossed spokes on the left and 8 radial spokes on the right; for the rear, 8 crossed spokes on the left and 16 crossed spokes on the right.

Hubs: the new Red Metal 29’’ XL is available in the QR Standard version with 15mm THRU-AXLE kit (included) for the front wheel, and in the QR standard version only for the rear.
