Fulcrum bicycle wheels

Fulcrum Wheels s.r.l. is a renowned manufacturer of high-end bicycle wheelsets, catering to both road and mountain biking enthusiasts. Established in 2004, the brand was born from the vision of three aerospace engineers who were passionate about cycling and sought to apply their technical expertise to wheel technology. From its inception, Fulcrum has been dedicated to performance, innovation, and reliability, quickly becoming a staple in the professional cycling circuit.

While Fulcrum operates as an independent brand with its own research, development, and marketing departments, it is a wholly owned subsidiary of the legendary Italian component manufacturer Campagnolo. This relationship allows Fulcrum to leverage Campagnolo's extensive manufacturing heritage and high-tech facilities while maintaining a distinct product identity and market positioning. The wheels are characterized by proprietary technologies like the 2:1 Two-to-One™ spoke ratio and CULT™ ceramic bearings.

Production remains deeply rooted in Europe. Most of the premium carbon and high-performance aluminum wheelsets are manufactured and assembled at the company's facilities in Vicenza, Italy, and their specialized production site in Romania. For some entry-level or specific alloy components, manufacturing may involve partners in Taiwan, reflecting the global nature of the modern cycling industry. Despite this geographical spread, the design and engineering remain strictly Italian, ensuring the brand's 'Made in Italy' spirit is preserved in every product.
