Whether you're enjoying a day-long epic ride on your favourite MTB trails with your riding buddies or exploring new mountain routes on your own solo adventure, this versatile wheelset is engineered for reliable performance wherever your ride takes you. Fulcrum has kitted out this model with durable aluminium rims that have been put through the brand's square milling and CNC-machining process to deliver maximum strength without adding any unnecessary weight. This results in a more capable wheelset that can handle the intensity that's associated with charging across demanding terrain conditions at speed, across rock gardens, tree roots and debris. Aluminium MTB Wheelset Fulcrum’s second MTB wheel is the result of the experience matured in the development of the Red Zone Carbon. It’s designed for a wider range of riders looking for a reliable and resistant product for off-road fun and performance. Amongst the technical specifications derived directly from its older sibling we find the hubs and the spoke count of 24 on the front and 28 on the rear. The CNC machined aluminium rim has a profile of 19mm and an inner rim width of 25mm. Aesthetically the wheel is completed with an advanced finish that marries a double polished-matt surface with laser-etched graphics. The Fulcrum logo can be found inside a red box, which can also be replaced with a reflective adhesive, black on black, included with the wheels. The Red Zone 3 is an all-purpose wheel, which is extremely versatile and suited to multiple uses: training wheels, sturdy race wheels or the perfect base for adventure bikes (boost gravel). Boost Axle Spacing Built for modern MTB trail riding, the Fulcrum Red Zone 3 Wheelset is equipped with Boost axle spacing for stiffer and stronger rolling performance across harsh and unpredictable terrain conditions. Its 15x110mm front spacing and 12x148mm rear spacing gives it extra stability as you carve your way from trail to trail. Additional Item Top Features: Braking Surface: AFS Front Wheel Spokes: 24 Rear Wheel Spokes: 28 Spokes Material: Stainless Steel - Double Butted Spokes Profile: Rounded, straight pull Nipples: Aluminium Front Hub: Aluminium Flanges Rear Hub: Aluminium Flanges Bearings: Adjustable Cup and Cones bearing Others: Optional Reflective "F" sticker Weight Limit (System): 125kg Freehub: Multiple options available to select Technologies: Wide Rim Tech: Fulcrum’s R&D department, following requests from the competition circuit, has worked to create rims that are wider than before, about 4 mm or more than previously. This technical choice provides an ideal basis for 25/28mm tyres, the sizes currently popular. This ensures stability, excellent handling and superior comfort. Cup and Cone: The cup-and-cone bearing differs from the classic cartridge bearing because it works in perfect alignment with the forces involved, weight and thrust from the frame, as the bearings run in a race positioned directly opposing these forces. Square Milling: For the new Racing Zero’s aluminium rim, Fulcrum decided to keep the triple-milled structure throughout the profile to minimise aluminium thicknesses. Next, Fulcrum's technicians added 3D milling at the base of the spokes. This means less material but the same reliability since, in this particular design, the forces are well distributed over the rim. Triple and “Square” milling enable maximum weight reduction on the rim periphery, producing an extremely responsive wheel. Asymmetric Rim: The asymmetry is designed to improve rim tension, balancing the forces from brakes and sprocket cassette.

Highly regarded as one of the best triathlon wetsuits in the world, the Zone3 Women's Vanquish X Wetsuit builds on the performance and reputation of the original Vanquish. Designed for triathletes looking to get the most out of their performance and ensure they feel fresh before getting on the bike thanks to an innovative combination of Bio-Rubber and Alpha Titanium lining to improve circulation and warmth. Ideal for swimming or triathlon racing, this wetsuit is coated in aqua-dynamic SCS Nano coating to create almost zero drag through the water. The sleeves of the wetsuit use the world’s thinnest neoprene - 0.3mm Yamamoto BRS SCS (an ultra-thin rubber with excellent heat-retention) - which reduces the buoyancy of the arms and, allows for greater speed and range of motion in your stroke. With no restrictive seams, the X-10 extreme shoulder panel is made from Yamamoto SCS (Super Composite Skin) neoprene, a premium neoprene material only 1mm thick, that boasts high-stretch and high-buoyancy qualities. Finally, aerodrome and NBR panels provide maximum buoyancy for optimal body positioning and cool-spot forearm panels for improved feel and catch in the water. WHAT IS BIORUBBER TECHNOLOGY? Bio-Rubber is a cutting-edge material which collects energy from the atmosphere and re-emits this energy for absorption into the body. The infrared ray emitting material is formed from a synthetic rubber made in a honeycomb structure sandwiched between a technical woven thread to create a tri-lamination structure. This use of light energy warms all the way through the legs and muscles and changes the way we feel warmth through technology. The material is proven to increase the blood flow by opening the capillaries, which reduces lactic acid and fatigue build up in the legs so they have more power available as soon as you exit the water. HELPING ATHLETES TO FEEL THEIR BEST AS THEY HEAD INTO T2 WHAT IS TITANIUM ALPHA A unique material which consists of a five-layer structure, neoprene rubber coated with Titanium Alloy and then laminated with synthetic fibre jerseys. The Titanium Alloy is an extremely thin film which provides effective heat retaining properties. In fact, a double lined material with Titanium Alloy will be 40% warmer than regular neoprene. NO NEGATIVE IMPACT ON BUOYANCY, FLEXIBILTY OR COMFORT. Care Instructions Rinse well in fresh water after every use. Do not wash with detergent or bleach. Do not put it in the washing machine or tumble dryer. Do not iron. Dry inside out first and then dry outside. Minimise time left in direct sunlight and aim to dry in the shade. Storage Best kept flat and folded behind the knees and then in half, best stored in a cool place. Do not allow others to use your wetsuit. It has been fitted for your body shape and nobody larger. Avoid contacting the velcro with the inside lining of the wetsuit.

Reactivity and resistance are the key words of Fulcrum’s return to the MTB arena. These two concepts have guided the development of the new Red Zone Carbon, a wheel that can handle challenging off-road terrain for demanding riders. Carbon MTB Wheelset Red Zone Carbon is the result of a long research and development process that has involved all the elements of the wheel, both individually (rims, hubs and spokes) and, most importantly, as a whole, to create a wheel system that is able to meet the demands of high-level bikers. Lightness and reactivity on one hand, for maximum performance uphill, and a high level of vertical absorption and resistance on the other, for the peace of mind of riders who want to abandon themselves to the adrenaline of heading downhill with confidence. Direct Inmold Matt Finish (DIMF) A powerhouse of technology, Red Zone Carbon is Fulcrum’s new formula for modern MTB use, with all its experience distilled in each component. A functional and unique design is married with a new matt finish straight from the mould (DIMF), with all the specifications that a rider expects from an XC/Marathon or Down Country wheel: inner rim width of 28mm, light and extremely smooth rolling rim in a wheel that is fully-produced in Europe and most of it in Italy. Additional Item Top Features: Tyre Compatibility: 2-Way Fit (for clincher and tubeless) Front Hub: Aluminium, Aluminium flanges Rear Hub: Aluminium, Aluminium flanges Bearings: Adjustable Cup and Cones bearing Weight Limit: 125kg Freehub Type: Multiple options available to select from the drop down menu ASTM Category: 3 Technologies: 2-Way Fit: 2-Way Fit profile for tubeless and clincher. Tubeless technology was first used by the auto industry, then by motorcycles and now has reached the cycling industry. MoMag: What is MoMag? A magnet and lots of ingenuity. This was what led to the patent for the well-tested “Mounting Magnet” system, or MoMag. Wide Rim Tech: Fulcrum’s R&D department, following requests from the competition circuit, has worked to create rims that are wider than before, about 4 mm or more than previously. This technical choice provides an ideal basis for 25/28mm tyres, the sizes currently popular. This ensures stability, excellent handling and superior comfort. Undrilled Rim Bed: No holes on the bridge connector means that the rim is uniform at every point, free from critical areas subject to stress. The advantages are immediately clear: less weight, longer-lasting rims, greater resistance to fatigue, the possibility of giving the spokes more tension and more stiffness which, in terms of performance, means improved responsiveness and acceleration. Cup and Cone: The cup-and-cone bearing differs from the classic cartridge bearing because it works in perfect alignment with the forces involved, weight and thrust from the frame, as the bearings run in a race positioned directly opposing these forces.
