15 mm THRU-AXLE ADAPTER SYSTEM
The world of “fat wheels” is continually evolving. Mountain bikers are renowned for being keen on trying and experimenting new technical solutions – adapting a bike to the route and to their riding style is normal for off road lovers. And Fulcrum® does not fall behind. On the contrary, it pushes ahead and offers new solutions that don’t force you to make a definitive choice, but leave you the option to change your mind. The Fulcrum® 2012 range includes the standard modification kit with quick release and 15mm thru axle for the front wheel of Red Metal™ Zero, Red Metal™ 1 XL, Red Metal™ 3, Red Power™ XL, Red Metal™ 29 XL, Red Power™ 29 XL wheels and the 2 versions of Red Zone™. A clever solution that will allow you to use the Fulcrum wheels on bikes with front forks with traditional release or thru axle.
SYNTACE X-12
Syntace X-12 adapter system
The Syntace X-12 standard, with a 142mm rear O.L.D. and an innovative way of adjusting the wheel to the stay, is the new feature on many branded frames. Fulcrum, which has always kept a close eye on the needs and demands of the market, has found a solution for this: for its 2012 range Fulcrum®’s R&D department has designed and developed a special kit that changes 12/135mm thru axle wheels into 12/142mm thru axle wheels thanks to a simple kit included with the wheels. This solution will make your Red Metal™ 1XL, Red Metal™ 3, Red Power™ XL, Red Power™ 29 XL wheels, along with the basic and XLR version of the Red Zone™ wheels, 100% compatible with the German company’s new standard. It is extremely easy to assemble, with no need for any special tools. Just a click and you are ready for a new challenge!
