Fulcrum Racing Rapid Red 5 DB Disc 650B 2019 Wheelset

This is the 650B Road Plus version of the Racing 5 DB wheelset. Designed with the "more tyre less rim" ehtos in mind. Same wheel, smaller circumference.

Gravel bikes are becoming exceptionally popular, and the Rapid Red 5 DB wheel has been designed and developed by Fulcrum for this kind of riding.

Whilst developing the Rapid Red 5 DB, Fulcrum's R&D department has brought together all the experience and technical expertise gained while creating racing bike wheels, drawing on this to design a model for use on surfaces other than tarmac.

Unpaved roads, paths and dirt tracks call for a wider inner channel - 23mm in this instance - with a low, ultra-resistant 24mm rim to cushion blows and deliver superb ride comfort, regardless of the stresses to which it is exposed.

The profile of the wheel enables tubeless ready tyres between 33-46mm to be fitted, with an extensive range of set-ups that can be adjusted in accordance with the type of tracks to be ridden. The 24 straight-head spokes are supported by a solid aluminium hub, ideal for tackling rough terrain and for taking the slightly higher weights of a bike that is ready to go on a journey.
