Fulcrum Soniq 42 Carbon Way Fit rims

The carbon rims feature FF80 lamination, which has been specially developed for maximum comfort – particularly on long rides or mixed terrain. 2-Way Fit technology has been developed to guarantee perfect compatibility of tubeless rims with standard clincher tyres and inner tubes. 2-Way Fit wheelsets are particularly versatile and therefore perfectly suited to any situation.

Hooked / Crotchet tubeless TC:

‘Hooked’ or ‘Crochet’ refers to the shape of the rim flange, which features a so-called hook. This supports the tyre bead and ensures reliable performance, even when using high tyre pressure (> 5 bar). ‘Tubeless’ means that the rim can be ridden without an inner tube, although a setup with an inner tube is also possible.
