Fulcrum is a subsidiary brand of Campagnolo that produces Alloy and Carbon wheels for road and mountain bikes. Initially developed so that Campagnolo could produce wheels compatible with brake and drive systems by Shimano and SRAM, allowing Campagnolo to retain its exclusivity. However Fulcrum still produce Campagnolo-compatible wheels.
The Fulcrum Racing Speed 40C wheelset is built for speed, balance, stiffness and versatility. The low weight made possible by its full carbon rims makes this wheelset a great choice for climbers. The superb stiffness and oversized flange at the rear allow rapid acceleration with tremendous control and confidence.
The Speed 40C wheelset is designed for those seeking a winning set of wheels, built with the same technology chosen for the World Tour, but even more functional thanks to the clincher rim. The 40 mm profile makes the most of aerodynamics and the flywheel effect, while remaining balanced, easy to handle and quick on the climbs.
AC3 Brake Surface
In addition to keeping the "Speed" family of wheels moving forward, a great deal of research and development has gone into slowing them down. A fast wheel is only as good as the control it offers to the rider and the all-new AC3, or "All Conditions Carbon Control", brake track technology incorporated into the 40C offers unprecedented braking performance. This technology incorporates laser treatment upon the brake track, eliminating all traces of resin, and allowing pads to brake on a more surefooted and planar carbon surface. While braking performance improves across the board, in wet conditions the AC3 excels with stopping distances more than 30% shorter when compared to previous versions.
