Fulcrum reinvents aluminum with Soniq and Rapid Red

Fulcrum pushes the boundaries of aluminum, proving that this material is just as good as carbon. With its new Soniq range and the redesigned Rapid Red AL for gravel, the Italian brand is restoring aluminum to its former glory, offering high-performance, affordable, and stylish wheels for all cyclists.

Soniq: aluminum, high-performance version

The Soniq range embodies Fulcrum's DNA: wheels designed for every cyclist, from the fierce competitor to the passionate amateur, with impeccable quality and a superior riding experience. The Soniq ALX, Soniq AL and Rapid Red AL models meet all needs, from tight budgets to the most demanding technical requirements.

Soniq ALX: the pinnacle of technology
The flagship of the range, the Soniq ALX, is a feat of engineering. Its welded 6082 aluminum rim, treated T-6, offers exceptional rigidity thanks to an undrilled wall, perfect for atage tubeless without rim tape. With a 33 mm profile and a 23 mm internal channel, it is cut for tires from 30 mm. The design leaves nothing to chance: CNC Square Milling, sandblasted finish, laser-etched graphics and chrome touches. The triple-butted flat spokes, arranged in Fulcrum's signature 2:1 pattern, maximize power transmission. The hub, with integral axle and precise bearing adjustment, ensures smoothness and longevity. All this for a weight of 1 g. Price: €745.

Soniq AL: performance and robustness at an affordable price
The Soniq AL is for cyclists who want reliable equipment without breaking the bank. Its versatile rim (33 mm height, 23 mm internal width) with a seal sleeve and pre-installed tubeless tape is ready to take on any routes. Metallic graphics give it a premium look, while the straight-pull spoke hub (24 front and rear, 2:1 pattern) and sealed bearings ensure durability and efficiency. Weight: 1 g. Price: €895.

Rapid Red AL: gravel without compromise
For gravel adventurers, the Rapid Red AL is a gem. An evolution of the famous Rapid Red range, it offers a wider 25 mm internal channel to accommodate generous tires, ensuring comfort and grip on rough trails. Its optimized gear system (33 mm rack) withstands extreme conditions, and its weight remains controlled 1 785 g (only 20g more than the previous version). Price: 470 €.
