Description | The Racing Zero Nite is a brand new wheel for 2015 and has a number of new features: Plasma Treatment- This gives the wheel set an ‘all black’ look. The Plasma treatment process creates an extremely hard and wear resistant surface. New braking surface- The specially milled braking surface is Plasma treated allowing superior braking in wet conditions. The ‘grooves’ in the braking surface allow water to drain away increasing braking friction. Specified blue brake pads developed by Fulcrum must be used with this special finishing. Plasma treated freehub. This removes 20g from the weight of the freehub. A carbon Hub with oversize flange is used creating a light weight but stiff hub. Differentiated rim heights â€" 25mm at front for optimal manoeuvrability; 30mm at rear for optimal power transfer. Triple milling of the rim saves weight but also creates an aerodynamic profile. Reflective rim graphics add great contrast to the dark surface. Fulcrum Dynamic Balance keeps the Racing zero wheels perfectly stable but is achieved in the rim milling process rather than spokes in the Racing 5. Fulcrum 2:1 spoke ratio on rear wheel double the number of spokes on the drive side for greater wheel stability and improved power transfer in the rear wheel. 16 radial aero spokes on front wheel, 21 on rear. The Racing Zero Nite wheels feature Fulcrums USB ceramic bearings which are 30% lighter, 40% more resistant and 50% smoother compared to the steel bearings featured in the 3's 5's and 7's. Total Weight - 1420g |
