Product description

Bikepacking? Unsupported cycling races? Breaking free from the limits of paved roads? Unpaved roads, exciting trips, trails and new horizons? You can handle it all with ease with the FULCRUM Rapid Red 500 DB.

There are many ways to interpret something that – far from being a new trend – has become a different way of enjoying cycling. For some it represents a chance to test themselves, for others it is an alternative choice that offers a world of new possibilities. All this and more is represented by B-Road or "gravel" wheels, and the Rapid Red 5 DB wheel, which was designed and developed by FULCRUM precisely for this kind of riding.

In developing the Rapid Red 5 DB wheel, FULCRUMs research and development department combined all the experience and technical knowledge gained from building wheels for racing bikes and used it to design a model for use on non-asphalt surfaces. Unpaved roads, trails and field tracks require a wider internal channel – in this case 23 mm – with a low, exceptionally durable rim of 24 mm diameter, which absorbs shocks and provides excellent riding comfort regardless of the stress to which it is subjected.

The wheel profile allows tubeless tyres of 30 to 46 mm to be fitted, with a wide range of settings that can be adjusted to the type of surface. A sturdy aluminium hub, ideal for tackling uneven terrain and bearing the somewhat higher weight of a bike ready for the road, rests on 24 straight-pull spokes.

The Rapid Red 500 model has the same specifications as the Rapid Red 5.
