Fulcrum produces gravel wheels aimed at regular riders who want straightforward setup, smooth spinning, and strong handling. The wheels were tested for use on a Campagnolo Ekar-equipped bike, with Fulcrum positioned as a sister brand that shares many design features and technologies while costing less. Claimed weight is 1490g without accessories, with measured front and rear wheel weights of 682g and 793g, plus additional components. Total ready-to-roll weight is 1506g without tubeless tape. Tubeless setup is simplified because the rim bed is undrilled except for the valve stem hole, creating a continuous surface and avoiding rim-tape puncture issues. Spokes are installed using a magnet-assisted Mo-Mag method, and the rim bed supports 2-Way Fit tubeless compatibility.
"The TL;DR is this: these things spin like there's no tomorrow, set up tubeless super easy, and handle great. They're also reasonably light.

Actual weights are: Front wheel: 682g Rear wheel: 793g Valve stems: 8g Rotor lock rings: 23g Combined, the wheels are 1475g with a Campy N3W freehub body. They offer HG, XDR, N3W, and Micro Spline options."

Here's why: Save for the valve stem hole, their rim bed is undrilled, yielding a continuous surface with no holes to cover with tape. This is convenient during setup, sure, but there's an even more important reason why this is awesome. Ever plugged a tire and pushed the poker all the way in and through the rim tape? I have, and it sucks, and then you have to put a tube in. Can't happen with these rims, and that's awesome."
"Spoke nipples are inserted through the valve stem opening, then they use magnets to pull the spoke nipples through the rim cavity. It's called Mo-Mag, and the solid rim bed is their 2-Way Fit, meaning, you can fit tubeless o"
