Fulcrum 2009 [en]

Fulcrum is closely following Campagnolo.
The Campagnolo 2009 range can be summarized to the new 11s groupsets, but as well to some more or less important updates on the wheels. The new technologies featured in Campagnolo range are
re-used here too.

Racing XLRThe carbon wheels receive three significant updates. First of all, these high-end wheels beneficiate of
the CULT ceramic bearing technology allowing very high durability as well as very low bearing resistance since the grease is not required. Second, they are equipped with a new hub whose
drive side flange is bigger to optimize the stiffness. The hubs are quite bling bling with their carbon and red/orange anodized shell. Finally, the braking performances of the carbon rims
have been improved thanks to a new brake pad compound.

These high-end Fulcrum wheels are named Racing Speed XLR and Racing Light XLR. The weights are respectively 1325g, and 1225g.

Ultra-Torque oversize cups for oversize bottom brackets

Fulcrum developed special aluminium Ultra-Torque OS cups which have the same bearing seat functions as the already renowned Ultra-Torque cups for standard bottom brackets. These OS cups
simply replace the standard cups on frames with oversize bottom brackets.Ultra-Torque OS cups for oversize bottom brackets will be available in versions compatible with 86.5 wide shells
and with BB30 bottom brackets. Another positive note: the OS cups weigh 20 grams less than standard cups.

From now on it will therefore by possible to order an Ultra-Torque crankset in versions with standard cups, with OS cups for 86.5 bottom brackets or with OS cups for BB30 bottom brackets.
