Fulcrum Racing Quattro LG Wheelset
Fulcrum is dedicated to producing wheels that put you in a position to go as fast as your engine permits. The notion of #fulcrumfast was not intended to apply only to those that have team cars following them or professional contracts but also to those of us with the same performance expectations despite a more modest budget. It is with this concept in mind that the newest #fulcrumfast family, the Racing Quattro collection, was designed.
The foundation of the Racing Quattro name derives from the Italian word for four or “Quattro” which represents the very versatile rim profile of 40mm. The common denominator throughout the line-up of Racing Quattro wheels comes in the form of this “do-it-all” rim profile that offers both aerodynamic advantages as well as a low rotational mass. With such a combination the 40mm rim is equally at home on both climbs as well as leading the pack on the flats. It is the one perfect solution for those riding on varied terrain or simply those who want one wheelset that can upgrade their performance on any and all scenarios they may encounter during their time in the saddle.
In an effort to increase the performance aspect of the Racing Quattro even further not only has rim heigth been optimized but also the rim width and design has been constructed in such a way to make the three wheels in this new family even more race-ready. To increase lateral and torsional stiffness with respect to previous models the 2016 Racing Quattro family will come in a 17C (24mm out width) format. The new width also permits a perfect interface for 25 mm tires, offering the perfect balance between increased grip and low rolling resistance. This new tire interface offers additional advantages as the wider stance of both the tire and rim create a more streamlined unit that gives an aerodynamic benefit over the 15C rim and 23 or 25mm tire combination.
All of this technology is spread across the line of the Racing Quattro family which is comprised of three distinct wheelsets:
The Racing Quattro LG represents the family’s aluminum version and despite its wider stance of 17C (24mm external) the Fulcrum engineers were able to produce a complete wheel that comes in at the exact same weight as the previous model. Increased stiffness, reactivity and greater stability along with a wider stance and housing for larger tires all with no weight penalty make this aluminum wheel perfect for long days in the saddle.
