Fulcrum Red Zone Clincher Thru-Axle Boost Shimano 29" MTB Wheelset

Built for committed mountain riders, the Fulcrum Red Zone Carbon wheelset delivers stability, responsiveness, and lasting durability on the most technical trails.

Designed around a full carbon construction with a focus on ride feel and structural balance, the Red Zone Carbon offers fast acceleration on climbs and steady control on descents. The 28 mm inner rim width supports modern tire profiles, increasing surface contact for traction and shock absorption in unpredictable off-road terrain. Whether tackling aggressive XC routes, marathon-distance efforts, or down country rides, this wheelset adapts with confidence. Each component—from the asymmetric rim to the aluminum hub flanges—is crafted to perform as a cohesive, high-efficiency system. The undrilled rim bed improves tubeless reliability while preserving structural integrity, and the Cup & Cone bearing system ensures smooth, adjustable rotation under load.
