Fulcrum Racing Zero Nite Wheelset Shimano And SRAM Compatible Black

Fulcrum's Racing Zero Nite is the sort of wheel Batman would have on his bike. Pitch black and equipped with the latest braking surface enhancements, these stealthy lightweight wheels blend beauty and performance seamlessly. The special plasma electrolytic oxidation treatment applied to the Zero Nite's rims provides enhanced braking efficiency and wear resistance, for excellent longevity and reliable high quality braking performance. Just make sure to use them with Fulcrum's specific blue or Swisstop's “Black Prince” brake pads for optimal performance and longevity. Not stopping there Fulcrum take many other steps to enhance these rims even further.

The triple milled aluminium rims reduce the peripheral weight at the edge of the rims for improved reactivity and a reduction in overall weight. Thanks to Fulcrum's MoMag technology the rims on the Racing Zero Nite's don't have any spoke holes, producing a uniform and therefore stronger rim that doesn't need rim tape, reducing weight. The Racing Zero Nite's spoke nipples are placed in the sealed rim via the hole for the valve stem and are then guided into place using an external magnet. The rear rim is 30mm deep for improved power transfer with the front rim being 27mm deep for greater reactivity. Both rims are designed with counter weight opposite their joints to make sure that the weight on opposite sides of the wheel is the same for smooth and consistent rolling. The Racing Zero Nite's have an exclusive rim/spoke coupling system so they can use lighter and stiffer aluminium spokes, with the unique nipples aligning properly with the hub for equal tensioning across the wheel. Fulcrum's engineers have also redesigned the housings for the spokes and hubs, ensuring that the spokes will never lose their initial tension, boosting their longevity considerably and keeping them in optimal aerodynamic position too.

The Racing Zero Nite's hubs use Fulcrum's excellent Ultra-Smooth bearing system (USB). Fulcrum's USB hubs use ceramic bearings which are incredibly smooth for significantly improved performance. Ceramic bearings are also lighter and require less maintenance. The Racing Zero Nite's front hub is carbon fibre for extra stiffness, strength and weight reduction. The aluminium rear hub is built with an oversized flange on the drive side for increased torsional strength to benefit longevity and power transfer. The freehub is plasma treated to make the aluminium very hard-wearing, increasing the lifespan of the Racing Zero's, whilst also allowing the aluminium on the freehub to be much thinner for reduced weight. Seductively dark and svelte Fulcrum's Racing Zero Nite's are their lightest aluminium wheelset with the best rim braking surface in their range too. Ideal for laying down a hot time on a sizzling Summers day the Racing Zero Nite's are proof that peak performance doesn't have to be ugly.
