FULCRUM WHEELS s.r.l.
Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. designs wheels for racing bikes and
distributes them in over thirty countries.
The company is based at Arcugnano amid the Berici Hills in the environs of Vicenza.
Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. was founded in July 2004 from an idea and from the passion for bikes of three aerospace engineers.The strong points of the young company are: the use of unique patents, continuous technological research and attractive youthful design.
In its first year in business, Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. earned revenues of Eur 6 million, and exported 70% of its products abroad.
Fulcrum wheels were created for road racing but the real novelty in 2008 will be Fulcrum off-road wheels, suitable for the most impervious terrains.
Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. only uses ultralight materials such as aluminium, carbon fibre and polyaramide, but ensures that the wheel's strength is never reduced.
Unique worldwide are its
Two-to-oneTM system for doubling the spokes in critical points, the
Dynamic BalanceTM system for obtaining a balanced rotation dynamic all the time and the
MoMagTM system.
Fulcrum wheels gained the trust of great champions right from the beginning and have already crossed the world championship finishing line twice in just two years: with
Tom Boonen in 2005 and with
Paolo Bettini in 2006.

Fulcrum is made in Italy and Mavic is made in France (except for the Aksium, which is made in Romania). As far as I am aware, Italy, France and Romania is still part of Europe.
