Fulcrum reinvents aluminum with Soniq and Rapid Red

Fulcrum pushes the limits of aluminum and proves that this material has nothing to envy carbon. With its new Soniq range and the revisited version of the Rapid Red AL for gravel, the Italian brand restores aluminum to its former glory, offering high-performance, accessible, 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 top-notch 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 an engineering feat. Its welded 6082 aluminum rim, T-6 treated, offers exceptional rigidity thanks to an undrilled rim, perfect for tubeless mounting without rim tape. With a 33 mm rim depth and a 23 mm internal width, it is designed for tires from 30 mm. The design leaves nothing to chance: CNC Square Milling, sandblasted finish, laser-etched graphics, and chrome accents. The triple-butted flat spokes, arranged in Fulcrum’s signature 2:1 pattern, maximize power transmission. The hub, with an integral axle and precise bearing adjustment, ensures fluidity and longevity. All for a weight of 1,745 g. Price: €590.

Soniq AL: performance and robustness at an affordable price
The Soniq AL is aimed at cyclists who want reliable equipment without breaking the bank. Its versatile rim (33 mm rim depth, 23 mm internal width) with a sleeve joint and pre-installed tubeless tape is ready to tackle all roads. The metallic graphics give it a premium look, while the hub with straight pull spokes (24 front and rear, 2:1 pattern) and sealed bearings guarantee durability and efficiency. Weight: 1,895 g. Price: €399.

Rapid Red AL: uncompromising gravel
For gravel adventurers, the Rapid Red AL is a gem. An evolution of the famous Rapid Red range, it offers an enlarged 25 mm internal width to accommodate generous tires, ensuring comfort and grip on rough trails. Its optimized gearing system (33 mm ratchet) resists extreme conditions, and its weight remains controlled at 1,785 g (only 20 g more than the previous version). Price: €470.

Aluminum, a winning choice

With the Soniq ALX, Soniq AL, and Rapid Red AL, Fulcrum shows that aluminum has not had its last word. Thanks to constant innovations, these wheels rival carbon models, offering excellent value for money without sacrificing style or performance. Whether you are a competitor or an adventurer, Fulcrum has the wheel you need.
