The redemption of aluminum
Fulcrum raises the bar in the world of aluminum wheels by introducing Soniq, a new range that promises to help cyclists rediscover this material, and renews its gravel lineup with the arrival of Rapid Red AL.
The Soniq line perfectly embodies Fulcrum's philosophy: to create products suitable for every type of cyclist, from professionals to enthusiasts, always guaranteeing the highest quality and an exceptional riding experience. With the Soniq ALX, Soniq AL, and the new Rapid Red AL models, Fulcrum offers a solution for every need and budget.
Soniq ALX: the excellence of Aluminum
The flagship model, Soniq ALX, is a combination of technology and design. The welded rim made of 6082 aluminum with T-6 treatment features a non-drilled bridge, ensuring greater stiffness and strength, and eliminating the need for tape for tubeless setup. The medium-profile rim of 33 mm, with a wide and modern 23 mm internal channel, is suitable for tires from 30 mm and up.
Soniq AL: robustness and accessible performance
Soniq AL represents the perfect balance between quality, performance, and price. With a sturdy and versatile construction—33 mm rim height and 23 mm internal channel, sleeve joint, and pre-installed tubeless tape—this wheel is ideal for those seeking a reliable, high-performance product without compromise. The metallic-effect graphic details give it a distinctive look, reminiscent of the premium aesthetics of high-end solutions. The hub works with 24 straight pull spokes, arranged in the 2:1 pattern. Sealed bearings ensure long-term reliability. The weight is 1,895 g.
Rapid Red AL: gravel without worries
Rapid Red AL is the entry point into Fulcrum's gravel world. Derived from the renowned Rapid Red family, this wheel features an expanded internal channel of 25 mm, ensuring comfort and grip on rough terrain. The rim height of just 24 mm ensures a wheel that is easy and fun to ride. The improved engagement system—the ratchet increases from 30 to 33 mm—enhances reliability in all conditions. The weight remains at just 1,785 g.
Aluminum: a smart choice
The new Soniq ALX, Soniq AL, and Rapid Red AL demonstrate that aluminum still has a lot to offer in modern cycling. Thanks to ongoing research and innovation, Fulcrum develops aluminum wheels with excellent performance. The goal is to improve every cyclist’s riding experience without necessarily relying on carbon, offering accessible products without compromising Fulcrum's distinctive features.
