Key Features of the Fulcrum Racing 818 Disc Wheelset Shimano Freehub
The Fulcrum Racing 818 Disc Wheelset Shimano Freehub supports both clincher and tubeless-ready tyres. A low-profile asymmetric aluminium rim balances strength and ride comfort. Disc brake compatibility delivers consistent braking in all weather conditions. Sealed cartridge bearings ensure smooth rotation and long service life.
Ride Quality and Performance Benefits
This wheelset improves stability across varied road surfaces. Therefore, riders experience confident handling on rough pavement and gravel. A 19mm internal rim width supports tyres from 23mm to 40mm. As a result, riders can tune setups for speed, comfort, or mixed terrain.
Rim Design and Structural Strength
The aluminium rim features a 33.7mm profile front and rear. Consequently, the wheelset maintains predictable handling in crosswinds. Asymmetric rim shaping improves spoke tension balance. This design increases durability during high-mileage use. A total system weight of 1960 grams balances strength and efficiency.
Hub, Spoke, and Axle Construction
The wheelset uses aluminium hubs with reinforced flanges. Stainless steel J-pull spokes improve resilience under load. Brass nipples enhance corrosion resistance over time. HH12-100 front and HH12-142 rear axles ensure modern frame compatibility. The Shimano HG freehub supports widely used road drivetrains.
