6 2015 New range preview Racing zero RACING ZERO: the new family For many years the most appreciated aluminum wheel in the market, Racing Zero becomes a family. Starting at the base of the range with the well new model, we will add two evolution projects that aim to grow in performance and increase the offers in our catalog: everybody will have the opportunity to choose the best wheel for his driving style, the wheel that suit better his bike. To find the right answer to his dreams. This is the new family: RACING ZERO RACING ZERO NITE RACING ZERO CARBON

8 racing zero carbon Welcome, carbon Racing Zero goes carbon for the first time, and does it in its own way: this is the first wheel on the market that combines carbon rim and aluminum spokes. This new hybrid technology will match together the legendary stiffness of the aluminum Racing Zero with a certainly better reactivity thanks to the carbon rim, that reduce the peripheral weight and so the inertial moment. A light, really light wheel, with a superior handling and an optimal power transmission to the ground.

9 racing zero carbon The rim A 30mm high carbon rim 17mm wide: a wider rim assures more comfort and a superior handling combined with more stiffness. The carbon is UD, unidirectional, among the most performing carbon actually available on the market, with the 3k insertion on the braking surface, to allow a better braking and superior durability. Aerodynamics: the wide and low profile, without any edge, reduces the friction coefficient. The nipples Racing Zero Carbon is the first wheel on the market with carbon rim and aluminum spokes: this means that the nipples, the connection between the two different materials, had to be redesigned and studied. The new nipples, inserted thanks to MoMag tech, are specially shaped to make easier the mounting process and to stay in position without any buffer plates in other material.

With the Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation treated surface the aluminum core changes its soul. The gold standard among high-level aluminum wheels. With the unmistakable character that everybody knows well, the absolute ability to transmit your energy on the asphalt, its extreme riding precision.

This is possible thanks to a very fine and compact matrix of alpha and microcrystalline gamma alumina and amorphous alumina created on the surface.

14 racing zero nite The Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation treatment A completely new technology combines a very engaging total black look with high range specs, with a special surface than fixes new standards between aluminum wheels. The Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation process gives to the surface very special characteristics regarding hardness and wear resistance. This is possible thanks to a very fine and compact matrix of alpha and microcrystalline gamma alumina and amorphous alumina created on the surface. Thanks to the high hardness of the layer, this new wheel presents excellent wear resistance. New Braking surface Fulcrum R&D department has developed a new design for Racing Zero Nite s braking surface. The design created by turning allows superior braking efficiency. Brake pads specified for carbon rims should be used with this new model.

20 Racing 5 &7: LG rim 2015 New range preview Why a 17C larger rim? - Rim s wider section lets the tire have a greater contact area with the ground - The contact-area between tire and asphalt increases considering the same tire width. For example, a 23mm tire on a 17C rim has a contact section similar to a 24mm tire: the smallest tire weights less but assure a grip really similar to the wider size. - Increased lateral stiffness thanks the greater section of the rim, that increases the moment of lateral inertia - Every rim s sections thickness have been studied and calibrated to maintain the weight stable despite the greater section. This means a complete optimization of the structure. 17C 17C 17 C Rim Asymmetric User benefits: Better comfort Better grip Less tire consumption

30 2015 New range preview Red Power HP 29 & 27,5 A completely new project started from the experience gained during the World Cup season with the Multivan Merida team. The athletes request has been focused on the need for an extremely dynamic wheel, with a softer structure with more handling and absorption of the hits along the trail. Dynamics: this is the keyword followed to develop these middle-range wheels. - Less weight on the rims, balanced with 28 spokes that assure stiffness and reactivity - Stainless steel spokes bluing: excellent torsional stiffness with enough absorption - Double butted spokes: different rounds mix allows to combine stiffness and lightness - Eyelet: the eyelet directs the nipple and makes it easier to mount and manutent. It gives reinforcement to the structure of the rim User benefits: Dinamicity Less weight Durability
