Slice through the air. Release all your power and accelerate right up to the finish line. Against the clock or against your rivals, with Racing Speed^TM XLR the winner is you.
Light, reactive, and smooth: Racing Speed^TM XLR represents the maximum level of technology available and the best choice for finishing ahead of the pack.

Features:

• Year: 2013
• HIGH PROFILE FOR 50MM TUBULARS: enables the maximum aerodynamic penetration, reducing friction. The design of the profile details makes the wheel extremely manageable even in a crosswind.
• FULL CARBON: extremely limited weight. Gives the wheel an extremely high level of lateral stiffness and greater reactivity
• EXCLUSIVE PRESSING SYSTEM FOR THE RIM IN UNPAINTED CARBON: enables an extremely limited weight and a smooth surface free from imperfections.
• NEW BRAKE PADS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR CARBON WHEELS: the new blend increases the brake performance on both dry and wet surfaces without increasing the wear and tear on the pad. For a more modular and more secure stop.
• AERODYNAMIC PROFILE IN STEEL: ensuring the maximum aerodynamic penetration and, thanks to the material employed, lower weight and greater reactivity.
• CARBON HUB BODY: gives the wheel a high degree of lateral stiffness and reduces weight to the minimum.
• OVERSIZED FLANGE ON THE DRIVE SIDE:increases the torsional stiffness, increasing reactivity at each change in rhythm of the pedal stroke.
• CUP AND CONE BEARINGS: easy ball/bearing adjustment – reduces possible ball/bearing play – precision operation – maintains performance over time.
• ALUMINIUM AXLE: reduces the overall weight of the wheel.
• QUICK RELEASE: New, completely redesigned and lighter aerodynamic-profile wheel block. Steel spine and eccentric, lever with drill lightening and aluminum die. Eccentric-closure system allows cyclist to modulate the pressure necessary for heightened sensitivity to find the proper closure for the block. Easy to use, with a material resistant to wear and tear, rust, and pressure.
• Weight: 1324g
• Spoke:18 aero spokes, radially laced in stainless steel with variable cross-section.
• Spoke: 21 aero spokes in stainless steel with variable cross-section, doubled on the drive side (Two-to-One™).
• 2013 Fulcrum rear wheels are compatible with 10/11 speed Shimano cassettes
