Fulcrum Racing 3 Wheels

The Racing 3 model of the Fulcrum wheels are ideal road cycling wheels for bike racing and everyday cycle training.

The aluminium rim, with a height of 26 mm, features special milling for lightness, an exclusive Fulcrum wheel patent. The rim bed is not drilled. Therefore, in addition to the weight advantage provided by the elimination of the need for rim tape, the undrilled rim bed also features a mechanical advantage: greater torsional rigidity and greater vertical elasticity for the wheel.

Fulcrum oversize hubs, with an aluminium body and axle, feature adjustable high-precision bearings to achieve the best performance every time.
The 2 mm steel spokes have an aerodynamic profile which enhances aerodynamic penetration and reduces the formation of vortices. There are 16 spokes for the front and 21 for the rear wheel. The spoking is of the radial type for the front wheel and of the crossed type with doubling of the right-hand spokes for the rear.

Racing 3 wheels incorporate an exclusive Fulcrum wheels feature: Dynamic Balance. The cycling wheel is balanced during rotation thanks to a special rim design that counterbalances the joint section.

Fulcrum Racing 3 wheels are compatible with Campagnolo, Shimano and Sram drivetrains and are supplied with the new Fulcrum quick releases.

Technologies:
- 2:1 Two-to-One: When you push on the pedals, the rotational force on the sprocket induces a slackening of the freewheel spokes with a consequent loss of rim tension. This results in undesirable flex of the whole wheel and an unavoidable loss of energy. Fulcrum has solved this classic cycling problem with its 2:1 Two-to-One Spoke Ratio patent, by doubling the spokes in the critical zones.

As a result there are two spokes which carry out the function of one, slackening and torsion are limited and the transfer of the athlete's power is much more effective Also, thanks to this system, spoke tensions are balanced more evenly between drive and non-drive sides and the fatigue life of the rim, hub and spokes is lengthened

- Dynamic Balance:
Unlike carbon rims, all the aluminium rims are joined. The joint, though indispensable, entails a concentration of material in a single point and creates an annoying 'jump' effect at speed. Fulcrum has eliminated this annoying problem with the Dynamic Balance patent.

- MoMag:
Though they have no holes in the rim bed, Fulcrum Racing 3 rims have spokes tensioned by traditional nipples. This makes tensioning and changing the spokes extraordinarily easy, and does away with questionable anchoring systems on the rim.
MoMag patent exploits magnetic power and a good dose of ingenuity to guide the nipples to the correct rim holes.

- Maximum Compatibility:
With the new Fulcrum freehub body dedicated to non-Campagnolo drivetrains you will be able to exploit the maximum versatility of your current system. Fulcrum have now developed a freehub body that is perfectly compatible with Shimano 8, 9 and 10 speed systems and Sram 10 speed ones

- Nominal weight: Front: 736 g, Rear: 923 g
