Three aerospace engineers (names not public) Arcugnano, Berici Hills, Vicenza, Italy Campagnolo S.p.A. (Vicenza, founded 1933 by Tullio Campagnolo) Campagnolo's freehub was incompatible with Shimano/SRAM cassettes. Fulcrum was created as a sub-brand to sell Campagnolo wheel technology to riders using non-Campagnolo groupsets — dramatically expanding addressable market. Within 12 months of founding, Fulcrum reached €6M revenue. 70% exported. Per BikeBiz 2009. Julien Absalon (XC World Cup) raced on Fulcrum wheels. Fulcrum's MTB wheel family — named to evoke danger zone / performance boundary. XC/Marathon/Downcountry focused.

Kas teadsid

01Fulcrum was founded by three aerospace engineers — explains the use of advanced materials and precise bearing design philosophies
02The 'Fulcrum' name references a physics term (the pivot point of a lever) — chosen to evoke precision, balance, and mechanical advantage
03Campagnolo's Vicenza factory (Via della Chimica) manufactures Fulcrum wheels alongside Campagnolo road wheels — same facility, same engineering team
04Fulcrum uses Cup and Cone bearings on premium models (Red Zone 3 and above) — same as Shimano hubs. Allows micro-adjustment of preload and drag. Unusual in the modern premium wheel market where cartridge bearings dominate.
05Red Zone Carbon DIMF finish (Direct Inmold Matt Finish) means the satin surface comes directly from the mold — no secondary painting or coating needed, saving weight and improving surface consistency
06NipForce double asymmetry is unique: two independent asymmetric offsets working together. Most asymmetric wheels use a single offset.
07Red Zone Carbon+ was developed over a full year with Buff-Megamo UCI XC team and finalised specifically for Cape Epic 2023 — one of the world's most demanding stage races
