Fulcrum Racing 5 Disc Road WheelsetThis wheelset is equipped with a hard-wearing aluminium rim construction, which offers an excellent combination of strength, durability and performance as you clock up the miles on the road. Fulcrum has also kitted out this model with an asymmetric rim design that's engineered to improve rim tension, balancing the forces from your disc brakes and sprocket cassette. Another highlight is its 24 rounded straight-pull stainless steel spokes, which ensure smooth and stable rolling performance as you go the extra distance. Coming complete with sealed cartridge bearings and many of the brand's finest technologies including 2-Way Fit, this is a great choice of upgrade for low rolling resistance, increased grip and greater protection thanks to its tubeless compatible design.Endurance Road Bike WheelsetThe Racing 5 DB wheels are the perfect choice for endurance bikes. The lower aerodynamic resistance and decreased stiffness, achieved with the lower 24mm U-shaped profile, makes them the ideal technical choice for long rides without having to worry about climbing, rain or wind, with a consequent saving in energy and increased comfort.2 Way Fit Ready TechnologyIn this case to the aluminium rim has seen an increase in the inner channel width, up to 20mm from the previous model's 17mm, and the addition of the innovative 2 Way Fit system, to comfortably fit 25-28 mm tyres, both clinchers and tubeless (tubeless tape installed and valves included).Laser-Etched GraphicsThe aesthetics have undergone the same intervention as the Racing 4 DB model, with the updated laser-etched graphics, ensuring the long life of their striking design.Features: Rim Material: Aluminium Use: Road Axle Compatibility: Front: 12x100mm; Rear: 12x142mm Inner Rim Width: 20mm Outer Rim Width: 25mm Rim Width: 24mm Profile Height: Low Tubeless Ready: Yes Tyre Size: 700c Tyre Type: 2-Way Fit Ready (Clincher/Tubeless Ready) Brake Compatibility: Disc brake, AFS Spokes Material: Stainless Steel Spokes Profile Technology: Rounded, straight pull Front Wheel Spokes: 24 (Left: 16; Right: 8) Rear Wheel Spokes: 24 (Left: 8; Right: 16) Nipples Material: Aluminium Hubs: Aluminium, Aluminium flanges Bearings: Sealed cartridge bearings, adjustable Freehub Compatibility: Multiple options available to select Finish: Lasered + Stickers Max System Weight Limit: 120kg Single or Pair: Pair Weight: 1660gTechnologies: Anti-Rotation System: This new system raises the concept of spoking to a new level of performance for road bike and triathlon wheels ( and MTB too). The Fulcrum engineers have redesigned the spokes and the hub housings to create a solid and unmoveable whole. The result is that the spokes will never lose their initial tension, thus keeping the wheel perfectly reactive and centred. The spokes will remain in the position that has been studied in the wind tunnel tests to ensure the best aerodynamic penetration possible. Fulcrum Identification Card (F.I.C.) 100% Handmade Quality: Right from its inception Fulcrum has been marked by a feature that continues to this day: that is to design, prototype and industrialise all the wheels characterised by the red “F”. Indeed these take shape inside of the R&D, the leading-edge department that represents the beating heart of the Italian company. Every single component of the wheel, the materials chosen and the technologies applied are the tangible result of the effort that Fulcrum makes every day to give you maximum performance and reliability. AFS Axle System: The Axial Fixing System is the solution developed by Fulcrum to fix the disc brake to the hub. The constraint granted by the butt area of the release mechanism, greater than in familiar standard ones, makes it possible to obtain greater structural rigidity and therefore more precise and powerful braking. Asymmetric Rim: The asymmetry is designed to improve rim tension, balancing the forces from brakes and sprocket cassette. 2-Way Fit Ready: This procedure transforms Racing 5 DB wheels (designed to be used with a clincher tyre and inner tube) into tubeless ready wheels (i.e. with a Tubeless Easy tyre, no inner tube and compulsory use of a sealant liquid). Use of tubeless and tubeless ready tyres is forbidden on 2-way Fit Ready rims without official Fulcrum 2-way Fit Ready adhesive tape. This model comes with tubeless type installed and valves included.

The all-new Hope Tech 4 V4 Hydraulic Disc Brake is the culmination of of Hope's 25+ years experience of designing and manufacturing some of the best brakes ever made. With 30% more power than the old Tech 3 E4 along with a lighter lever action, the Tech 4 V4 is a stunningly powerful brake ideal for enduro, freeride and downhill bikes. 30% extra power compared the old Tech 3 leverLever shape updated to provide a more ergonomic shapeHinged clamp reduces weight and improves ergonomicsTool free bite point and reach adjustments for easy, personalised setupRigid CNC'd one piece 4 piston caliper with hybrid piston design for improved reliabilitySupplied with new Racing Compound pads for improved power and modulationThe Tech 4 V4 uses all new internal sealing for reduced friction and the pivot spins on roller bearings, allowing the spring rate to be reduced. The lower spring rate in turn gives a lighter lever action, reducing rider fatigue and keeping our legendary feel and modulation. Not only this, but the updated lever and blade provide a 30% increase in pressure over the Tech 3 lever for a bucket load of extra braking power! The Tech 4 lever also retains Hope's signature tool free bite point and reach adjustments. The updated V4 caliper utilises hybrid style Stainless steel pistons with a phenolic insert allowing for smoother movement and less maintenance, while still able to manage high temperatures without heat transfer during extreme use. If you want the ultimate in braking power, look no further than the Hope Tech 4 V4!
