WHEELS: Fulcrum Racing 3

Racing3 are the intermediate wheels in the Fulcrum® range, in aluminium. Wheels of a polyvalent nature, they are ideal in competitions, century rides and everyday training.
Thanks to a special solution, the aluminium rim with a height of 26 mm is lightened between the spokes, in other words in the section of the rim not subjected to any particular stresses where the reduction of material diminishes the peripheral mass and inertia and does not affect the solidity of the wheel. The top rim groove is not perforated and there are therefore advantages both in weight terms – no rim tape is required – and from a mechanical point of view – greater torsional rigidity and greater vertical elasticity of the wheel. The hubs are of the oversize type and are fi tted with adjustable bearings for the maximum smoothness and ease of maintenance. The 2 mm steel spokes feature a streamlined profile which encourages aerodynamic penetration and reduces the formation of vortices. There are 16 of them for the front wheel and 21 for rear ones, distributed radially on the front one and with a 2:1 Two to One™ ratio on the rear wheel. Racing3 wheels are distinguished by the presence of three Fulcrum® design philosophies: 2:1 Two to One™ Spoke Ratio, MoMag™ and Dynamic Balance™.

2:1 Two-to-One™ Spoke Ratio
The rear wheel spoke arrangement has double spokes on the right-hand side. This solution allows you to have a rigid wheel but also reduced tensions and better balancing at the same time.


Dynamic Balance™
A special machining operation on the rim section opposite the joint balances the two peripheral masses with the result that the wheel is perfectly balanced during the rotation dynamics.


MoMag™
The rim, while having no holes on the top groove, is fitted with traditional nipples. This makes the spoke tensioning and replacement operations extraordinarily easy and avoids the use of anchoring systems which weaken the rim.

Racing3 wheels are compatible with Campagnolo® and Shimano® drivetrains and are available in black and silver versions.
