FULCRUM wheelset 28" Soniq ALX Center Lock
Fulcrum has been supplying the bike market with high-quality and well-designed wheels since 2004. Whether MTB or road bike, each of these is the result of great attention to detail and years of experience.
The Soniq ALX was also developed with the aim of providing you with the best basis for your bike. The high-quality choice of materials, unique technical features and low weight will put a smile on your face. In addition, the enormous inner width allows the mounting of wide tires, which significantly increases comfort and grip. With this wheelset, even longer tours in the mountains will be a pleasure.
High-quality 6082 aluminum alloy
The high-quality 6082 aluminum alloy ensures low weight and guarantees the high robustness of the rim. The T6 heat treatment additionally stabilizes the material mix and gives it its ultimate durability. In addition, the rim ends have been welded together to create a permanent connection. The sandblasted surface simply bounces off flying stones or branches without leaving any marks. This keeps the rim looking like new even after many kilometers.
2:1 Two-to-One™ - spoking pattern
This type of lacing increases the rigidity of the wheel enormously. Particularly when pedalling hard, there can be a lot of twisting at the rear, which costs you valuable energy. This is why double the number of spokes is used on the freehub side to better absorb and distribute the forces.
Square milling - post-milling
This process minimizes the thickness of the aluminium by removing superfluous material on the inside of the rim ring. This saves weight and enables higher acceleration values. The seat for the spoke nipples is housed in the remaining, visually striking, angular bumps.
Undrilled rim bed - undrilled rim bed
By not drilling holes for the spoke nipples in the rim bed, the material retains its inner structure and can therefore be subjected to higher loads. This allows higher spoke tensions, which makes the wheel stiffer overall and allows you to accelerate faster.
Another advantage is better tubeless compatibility. Because the air cannot escape inwards through the closed base, the use of rim tape is unnecessary.
MoMag™ - magnetic nipple installation system
With the patented MoMag™ system, threading the spoke nipples is easy despite the closed rim base. They are inserted into the valve opening and guided into place using a magnet. This makes spoking and centering possible as usual.
