Fulcrum Red Metal 3

Megat's new Fulcrum Red Metal 3. It was my fault that I didn't bring my camera. So these pictures were taken using my handphone.
The near-silent freehub will appeal to stealth fans and pick-up is fast too. They’re reasonably light, for their stiffness, making them a good tubeless wheel for the money.
The 24 bladed stainless steel spokes are laced 2:1 on front brakeside and rear driveside to equalise loading. They certainly feel tight and responsive under pressure, with no obvious yaw or wind-up.
8 spokes on the right and 16 spokes on the left.

Manufacturers description

The Fulcrum Wheels project originates from the revolutionary ideas of a group of young aerospace engineers sharing a hearfelt passion from bicycles. These, after analyzing the projects offered by the market, realized that there was ample room for improvement. Which is why they decided to resort to their knowledge of aeronautics to design a new range of specialized wheels. In next to no time the project was transformed into a prototype model that gave excellent results when tested, results well above those of rival products. Our team couldn't have been more pleased. So they chose the best materials and the most advanced technologies available and generated the first three models.
