Wheel maestros Fulcrum have unveiled two updates to their 2010 range, the Racing 5 and Racing 7.

The Italian company have improved their already popular Racing 5 wheel with new graphics and a 0.5mm deeper rim groove. This gives more space for the inner tube and reduces the risk of pinch flats.

Racing 7 wheels also get a makeover for 2010, with new ‘go faster’ graphics –take a look at the images in the gallery.
